The sandwich was delicious and while I would certainly not classify the bread as a "bagel" it was a more appropriate texture for the sandwich than a bagel would have been. Only reason it's not 5 stars is because it was uncomfortably hot inside. I do also wish there were at least a few comfy chairs but I prefer to sip my coffee in a cozy environment as opposed to metal chairs.

Waitress was super nice and put up with our horrendous Spanish. Lavender almond milk latte was perfect. So tasty. Not too sweet. And I went with the avocado toast with a fried egg. The bread was so tasty. Everything on top so flavorful and so filling. We also split a bowl of fruit which was pretty big. We sat and hung for a while and got some stuff done on the WiFi that we needed to do for the rest of our trip. Overall cozy coffee shop with great food and drinks!

This beautiful, old school café seems to have been intended to cash in on Julio Cortázar's name. It has a number of pictures of him on the walls, as well as framed renderings of some of his well-known quotes. A number of randomly chosen items on the menu were named for Cortázar as well, but that's as far as it goes - this place completely fails to be a literary themed bar. To be fair, the service staff is nice enough, though we found the wait for snacks and drinks to be quite long given the relative emptiness when we were there. The prices are acceptable as well. That said, with a name like Cafe Cortazar, this place should do more toward paying homage to a well-respected literary figure, rather than just displaying decorative items "inspired" by the great man.

They have quite an assortment of pastries - many of them made with the puff pastry or croissant dough, pastry cream and quince paste. They also have the standard lard or fat based croissants that they call medialunas and quite a few promotions combining coffee, juice and two or three pastries. It's nearly impossible to find brewed decaf coffee or ground decaf coffee anywhere in Argentina. When you order decaf they basically give you a watered-down version of regular coffee and it is both disgustingly lacking in flavor and still quite high in caffeine which is not good for those of us who can't tolerate it. You're better off bringing some Nescafé powder decaf and ordering hot milk to which you add the decaf powder. We only had coffee and pastries so we can't speak to any of the other food but others were ordering sandwiches and salads and they all looked decent. The staff is very friendly and it's a nice little getaway for a late morning or early lunch snack.

It has wonderful pastries (scones, croissants, muffins), in addition to eggs and egg sandwiches and a fantastic list of juices and smoothies.

My husband and I will be regulars here.

The croissants are pretty good, but they are too heavy... too dense! I'm spoiled by Chaumont Bakery in LA, but these croissants are at least baked on site. And they have a nice flavor. Prices are Ok. I read other reviews and it's the disappointing nature of the food that makes you feel like it was too much. I paid ARS 650 (approx USD $11) for a salad and croissant. That'd be great, if I enjoyed my meal. But it was so-so. I might come back for the bread, as that is their specialty! Oh, I also thought the service was excellent! And the place is huge and comfortable, so there's THAT!
