About Fons - Plant Based Empanadas
Recent Reviews
Best breakfast ever! Stopped here for a quick breakfast and got a vegan strawberry banana smoothie along with a big pack of empanadas! It was all so delicious, and I will be back when traveling! I couldn't recommend this place enough. My favorite was definitely the margherita empanada. I will say that this place has honey in some of their smoothies, but clearly labels it.
