The owners of the food truck, Soul Kitchen, have done it again with one of the best coffee options in Santiago: Café 100. Cafe 100, named for its location in the Matucana 100 Cultural Center, just opened July 11th and is the reason you should get your butt out of your chair and head to Quinta Normal.
The owners have taken the flavors and style that have made them famous for their food truck and have added gourmet coffee to the mix. They have switched it up a bit from their spicy tacos to gourmet sandwiches and mixed green salads - seriously yum! However, no need to worry, they have no plans to get rid of the tacos but will only be using the food truck for events and will be focusing 100 percent on the Cafe for now.
All of their ingredients are fresh and local, making for delicious dishes with flavors that pop. What's best, is that they have just planted a vegetable garden in the same area, so they can start using their own vegetables in each dish!
I recommend trying their delicious sandwich of grilled vegetables with red pepper paste, pesto and mayo between Pan Vitta whole wheat bread - yum! Accompany it with one of their drip coffees made with freshly ground Peruvian coffee (this is a place to take coffee snobs).
I can only see Cafe 100 getting better as they get their kitchen fully put together and get settled in - I am excited to see what they will be bringing to Quinta Normal in the coming months!
