About Encarnacion - Latin American Coffee and Food

Encarnacion - Latin American Coffee and Food is a delightful coffee shop nestled in West Village. The ambiance feels like stepping into a friend's house for coffee, complete with welcoming service and cozy seating. The signature latte, known as "The Original," is a must-try with its smooth texture and perfect temperature, complemented by impressive latte art. The owner, from the Dominican Republic, adds a Latin flair to the menu, which includes dishes like the egg, ham, and cheese bagel, featuring dill in the eggs and rosemary on the salt bagel, making it flavorful yet not overly salty. The Cubano sandwich and café are also highly praised for their delicious taste.

Open generally from 7am to 3pm and closed on Mondays, there are plans to extend hours and introduce more Latin-inspired foods and wine. Located on Kerchavel near Van Dyke, in a little gray house, it can be a bit hard to find, but it's worth the search. The place sources its bagels from Detroit Institute of Bagels, offering a delightful range of options from simple bagels and smear to more complex dishes like avocado toast. The American drip coffee is noted for being smooth, rich, and deep. There is also a lift in the back for wheelchair and stroller access, ensuring everyone can enjoy this charming spot.
