Cannot say enough nice things about the cachapas (corn pancakes) with cotija cheese (get it on the side if you're not sure, but the salty sweet is way better than maple syrup on these. Also, good Columbian coffee and other Colombian items on the menu like the Calentao con Huevo are delightful. Pablo's omlette: also delicious. Friendly staff, and often but not always busy. Sundays for brunch often there is live music.

Awesome first time experience. The chicken salad sandwich was fab, and the side of apple crisp chips were fresh and warm. Wow, what a treat!! Breakfast is served all day - my friend had the corn pancakes, traditional Colombian dish, and they were outstanding. Service was pretty slow, which was our only complaint. Will be back!!

We come here for the Colombian breakfast on the weekends. The food is good. Sometimes there is live music too. The service can be a little slow and depend on the server, overall a good experience most times.

Delicious breakfast! I think I could just order the rice and beans and be a happy camper.
Lots to choose from; great space; lots of seating. Will definitely go again!

I stopped here years ago and decided to try this cafe again. The food was just as good as I remembered, and the staff were kind and attentive. I had the plantain pancakes and chorizo and will definitely get both again sometime!

Visiting from out of town. My party mixed from people who live in MN and don’t. We all thoroughly enjoyed everything! Finding the door was a bit tough but its on the side of the building. Had the empanadas and they were so delicious! The hot chocolate was also very yummy.

They have unique selections for pancakes, espresso drinks and breakfast menu. Nothing crazy but I love the Colombian twist to all their food. One of the best pancakes I’ve had.

We came here for brunch. Did not disappoint. Hands down the best corn pancakes I’ve ever had. Service was fast. All of the recommendations the server suggested were so good and flavorful. We came at closing and didn’t feel rushed. Street parking was just fine to find. The construction nearby can throw you off because of the building layout but still a gem. Would recommend!
