Stopped by this Dominican café today and was so impressed! I tried several items on the menu and everything was absolutely delicious. The coffee was amazing — rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed. And the Cuban sandwich? Hands down the best I’ve ever had. Fresh, flavorful, and made with care.
On top of the great food, the service was warm and welcoming. The owner was there and truly added to the experience — you can feel the pride and passion behind the place. That personal touch made it even more special. I’ll definitely be back!

I went with my children (5 years old). I ordered their fall blend (cinnamon & star anise) with 3 golpes and the buttermilk pancakes for the kids. We loved it. The service, the ambiance, & of course the coffee was excellent. It tasted very fresh, authentic, & how coffee should. The aromas reminded me of my childhood summers spent in the Dominican Republic.
The children loved their meal & afterwards it's a perfect walk around town & to the park.

Beautiful small place with a lot to offer. Very nice menu with traditional entrees from the motherland. Offering a good variety of coffee styles and great types of lunch varieties.
If you're in the area, definitely stop by. Hector will make you feel welcomed.

I had high hopes for this place. I visited yesterday from Queens NY, and was not impressed by the food or coffee. I asked for the canelita de otoño coffee and they ran out of it the day prior. They were able to make me something similar, but it was okay. It was room temperature and the flavor wasn’t there. I also ordered the avocado toast which sat on a bed greens. My salad was swimming in dressing. My cousin ordered the tres golpes, and that meal wasn’t impressive or flavorful either. I don’t get what the hype is about this place. It could also be hit or miss depending on who’s at the establishment when you go. Definitely needs more quality control.

I was excited to try this place but unfortunately it didn’t quite meet expectations or the hype. The atmosphere was nice, but the food lacked flavor and the coffee was bitter. Had the cubano which wasn’t edible. Customer service could improve.
