“EDITED REVIEW:They aren't closed! The phone may have been janky, but the empanadas are still delicious! I was able to just drive up this week and saw they are indeed still open, so I am revising my review to account for their tasty eats. I finally got my birria empanadas, and I'm pleased. :)Initial Review:I placed an order online 2 weeks ago, but when I went to pick it up the place was completely closed. I called and called some more but no one ever picked up the phone. Now the phone is disconnected. I think it's safe to say I'm not getting those empanadas. :(The order online option is still totally active too which feels a bit scammy to me.“

“Ordered 225 small empanadas from them. Everybody was raving about them. Very very good. Filled with meat and the cheese. One were filled with cheese and the chicken ones were filled with chicken. Can't go wrong with this place to order empanadas, the ground beef ones had a lot of flavor“

“This place is GREAT!!! Decided to attend their Valentine’s Day brunch with karaoke and it was not only a great time but the food was absolutely delicious !! The owner and staff were very sweet and made my friends and I feel very good with the attentiveness. The staff was also very enthusiastic and cheered us on as we sang! They even joined in on the fun with us (our request) ! The cafe is very clean and I truly give everything a 10/10! Wishing great success to this place and I will definitely be returning!“

“I really love this coffee shop for its amazing vibe and consistently delicious, well-made coffee! ☕✨ The staff is always friendly, and the service is great.
The only thing I would say is that the quality of the pastries seems to have gone downhill a little. I can’t speak for everything, but I can share my experience with the pastries I’ve tried.
When the coffee shop first opened, they had these amazing pistachio croissants that I absolutely loved. At some point, they seemed to change their baker, and unfortunately, the new ones were not nearly as good.
I also used to love getting the guava empanada here, but the last time I tried one, it didn’t taste fresh and was quite hard, almost as if it had been sitting in the display case for a couple of days.
That said, I still really enjoy this coffee shop overall and will definitely keep coming back for the coffee and the atmosphere! ❤☕“

“NO JOKE! The best empanada I've ever had!!!Its golden, flaky pastry shell was perfectly crisp. The filling itself was chock’full of seasoned meats, onions, and a hint of spice. Every bite was a burst of savory goodness, making it a memorable and must-try treat for anyone seeking an exceptional empanada.

Vegetarian options: Cheese all day! Plenty of options for vegetarians.

Kid-friendliness: Some of the nicest people in the world run this store. They are friendly and what kid DOESN’T like empanadas????!!!!!“

“Awesome fries and Cuban sandwich. Good selection of empanadas. Highly recommend.“
