Amazing GLUTEN FREE CHURROS! Taste like the real thing. GF anything is hard to make, but somehow they made a miracle happen!

Super large/confusing menu. Overpriced. And to top it all off, there was a piece of plastic inside an empanada. Bit into it. The only thing keeping this place alive is summer time gelato. Stay clear.

Friendly service, made to feel welcome - great menu and ambiance. I had a little trouble navigating the front step to go in, because of a foot injury, but a nice customer hoisted me up, LOL.

Avoid this place like the plague. The milk they use for their lattes is horrible and their milk-products will make you sick. Service was absolutely horrible, whoever was working really didn't care, didn't want to be there, and was shutting the shop way early before posted closing time. Gelato was OK, honestly Breyers is better. We won't be back, don't recommend this place to anyone for Gelato and especially coffee products.

Walked in and there was an old man (I'm guessing the owner) sewing. I waited patiently for about 5 mins and finally he walked up and asked what I wanted. I asked for a hot dog and he grabbed everything out with his barehands, no gloves or tongs, totally unsanitary. The whole shop looks dirty. Order was canceled and I left.

Had lunch today, delicious homemade empanadas, so much flavor! The homemade churros are amazing and great coffee. Super friendly owner. I love to support small local businesses so this is now one of my go-to places in Del Ray.

The best filled churros, Service is not that friendly, but the churros are worth it. Decoration and ambient is very nice

Went in for gelato with a friend, and it had clearly been sitting in the freezer too long and had freezer burn/film on the top, which affected the texture and taste. I'll also echo comments about the unwelcoming nature of the owner, not quite sure why he picked such a friendly area and chose to be so inhospitable.

They have excellent gelato, churros and empanadas. Uniquely, they have gluten free churros, and they are as good as any I have tasted. We sometimes make a special trip to Del Ray just for them.

Closed. So what actually are your hours? Instead of canned chatgpt responses, maybe clarify operating hours. Close a full day if you have to, as long as it's transparent. A previous reviewer stated they showed up 8:17 pm and Google stated it was open. Your response stated that there was a discrepancy between Google hours and actual operating hours. However, your website states you are open until 10:30pm. I myself arrived at 12:30 on a Wednesday....again Google said open...website...open....real life... Closed. I would try to fix that as these negative reviews on operating hours can really hurt a business. Good luck and I wish you the best.
