I recently got back home from a work trip abroad and was craving some local cuisine. Pochi's has been on my list for forever (and because we'd like to plan a trip to Colombia this fall). The interior was adorable and there was a cozy couch with pillows at the entrance. Once you enter, there are various goods for sale, including snacks, shoes, hats, and bags. I ended up buying a crossbody bag and love the intricately knit patterns! We came here in the late afternoon for coffee and a snack and ended up ordering a machiato espresso barraco (double espresso with a touch of milk) and Bogotá latte to start. My latte came with cinnamon, caramel syrup, milk, whipped cream, and a Pochis coconut cookie. Our server checked to see if it was sweet enough to my liking, and it definitely was without being too overpowering. For snacks, we split the beef Pochis arepa (a thick corn "cake" with sausage, tomato, onion, corn, mozzarella cheese, and a quail egg. It was surprisingly filling. We also got the guacamole achicharrando (wood smoked pork belly chicharron) which was tasty but a bit fatty. If I were hungrier, I'd probably see if I could purchase more chips to eat the guac with next time. Lastly, we ended up ordering a lemonade and a lulo juice with milk. You can order the natural juices with milk or water. We were told ordering with water is more so if you're thirsty and ordering with milk is sort of like a shake. I loved the lulo juice and would definitely recommend trying it! I'm excited to come back and try more of the menu. Make sure to check out the other desserts and items for sale on your way out!

Wow -- great place for authentic Colombian food. They do far more than sweet treats which was a great surprise. My group and I sat down for like nah and ordered rounds of appetizers and dishes to share amongst us. The owner came out to greet us and was very pleasant. Not to mention the place itself is ADORABLE. We loved the atmosphere with the Colombian details and atmosphere the dishwater matched the vibe! I also appreciated that the menu was in both Spanish and English and clearly oriented toward authentic dishes. Certainly will be visiting again. Highly recommend the spiced hot cocoa!

Food was incredible, but also incredibly over priced.

Food barely had any flavor and options were limited. The service was good and attentive. The restaurant looks amazing and feels welcoming . The desserts looked better than the actual food but I didn't order any .

Food was great. Waitress was lovely and accommodating. Cute place. I'd like to come back for some fancy drinks, because I was too stuffed!

Walked in here randomly because other places had a long wait. Quite the happy accident as the food and coffee was divine.Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options for my friend.

The atmosphere is great, and the customer service is fantastic. However, the food lacks authenticity and a homemade touch. Given the prices they charge, one would expect the food to be "homemade."

Awesome place. Delicious coffee. Arepas and empanadas were delicious as well. I will most definitely be back for that coffee. Will also be back for the food as the owner will be having a full menu come January!

I’ve given this place a couple tries. My food lacked flavor and the coffee that I just bought was $8+ and the size of a yogurt container! Where’s a Starbucks when you need it?
