    GUAVA & CHEESE PASTELITO
    Ron S.

    Great atmosphere and really good food. Ordered using QR code on the table. Easy, no fuss. Each item was delivered individually as it was ready. Coffee was good, pastry excellent. Wrap / sandwich was lovely. Good stop outside DC. No crowd on a rainy Tuesday, but the space is on the small side and I can see it getting crowded.

    We really enjoyed our meal at Colada Shop. The colada shop Cuban was great, and we'd definitely order it again. The empanadas were amazing too. I loved the toasted coconut on top of my virgin piña colada, and the mojito was really refreshing. We'll definitely go back to try more of the menu!

    Sweet plantains

    I had the Santiago bowl with chicken, half and half rice in greens. It's a well-rounded dish, but the chicken lacked sufficient spice To my taste. The staff are very kind. The chicken portion size is small, beware. The sweet plantains are nice dessert treat. This airport restaurant in C terminal has music and open seating.

    Semi sweet cortadito

    Wow. This place is packed for Sunday Brunch, and they still create a killer cortadito at a reasonable amount of time. Loud, too. This place with a crowded bar. Next time I will try their other drinks and adult beverages. They seem very popular with the college and young professional groups. I tried their guava danish/pastry. Very nice flavor, and just warm enough for the palate. Despite the limited space, it's a great place to meet up with a group of friends and/or family. There are a couple large tables in the back. I look forward to visiting during the week.

    My family of 5 stopped in for breakfast on our way to the Army Ten Miler Expo for packet pick up. The walk from the Crystal Gate Marriott was quick and easy. The seating was a little sparse, not really meant for large parties or families, but we pulled together a few small tables in the window for the whole family to sit together and made it work. Wasn't an issue at the time, but probably would be if it was a little busier. We go meatless most of the time, so the big draw to the menu was the non- meat options. We started with a blue matcha (the kids and I loved it) and espresso for Lorenzo. I indulged with an espresso martini as well. Different- made with rum and banana liquor- but tasty. The kids shared a sweet cream pastry and a plantain muffin. They were gone in about 10 seconds. The kids also all had the churro waffles- Suri and Lolo demolished them, but Sadie ended up being a bigger fan of my food. Lorenzo got the plantain and cauliflower soup, and I had the crispy congri rice salad. My salad was sooo good, but I think Sadie ended up eating more than I did. We also had the plantain stew empanadas, I'm not sure what was even in them, but they were really good. We tried about half the menu, and loved every bite. Definitely worth the visit.

    If you're looking for a place that has plants and cute gifts, look no further! My mom has the biggest green thumb I know and when we passed by this place, she couldn't pass it up. Inside the place is super cozy and cute. They had floral claw clips, a decorated Christmas tree with the cutest ornaments, and an abundance of plants and pots. There's an area too to sit down and relax.

    No, Colada Shop, just no. Our experience with one of your staff members really left a bad taste. We usually love coming here for breakfast and coffee, as we prefer your morning options. We stopped by to try your HH options on an early afternoon, and a newer male staff member seemed to purposely 'choose' and 'target' specific individuals to service - IYKYK He clearly was going out of his way to ignore our table, not wanting or caring to get our drink or food orders. The outdoor patio space isn't that big, and, honestly, you really have to make an effort to avoid the already seated patrons (which many tables were not filled yet when we came). Not really sure what his issue was, but we confronted him and inquired why he continued to skip over us - his response was that he 'thought we were still deciding' - we then pointed out that he was willing to take orders from multiple individuals and/or groups that had literally just arrived and seated, who were not even ready. Sus. It was crystal clear that he had some weird hateful bias or some problem - we have decided to not give our patronage to your business again. Shame on you. +nope

    What a perfect place to meet up with friends during good weather. Near National Airport, we met a few friends flying into town for dinner. Here's our experience. 1) Food: The menu is Cuban and serves a variety of pastries, salads, sandwiches, and more. Every dish we got was full of flavor and well made. The chicken empanadas weren't dry and the sauce they come with is delicious. The BBQ guava sandwich was excellent. The guava pastry our eight-year-old daughter enjoyed. They also have a kids menu and our daughter loved the quesadilla. 2) Drinks: Water is self-service inside, but don't sleep on the $8.50 frozen daiquiri. It comes with lime, carrot juice, and clementine and is so refreshing. 3) Service: Staff were very attentive and friendly. Order from the QR code at your table or order inside, whichever is easiest. When the food is ready, they will bring it out. 4) Space: There's indoor seating and an outdoor patio. The design is inviting and there are murals inside. They also have two clean restrooms inside. 5) Neighborhood: In the heart of Crystal City, you can usually find parking down near Long Bridge Park. The area has lots of other restaurants and green spaces. The Crystal City Metro is a block away.

    This new location is really nice and very conveniently located in Crystal City, VA. The menu has great items to choose from. I ordered their seasonal horchata and matcha flavored drink , which was okay, but the plantain nachos were really good -- i'd suggest order them with meat if you are hungry. Otherwise, a great shareable snack! I ordered the chicken empanadas but they were sold out (after I had placed my order) so I got a spinach replacement instead.

    They have a kiosk where you can sign up with your phone number to get a discount! Each table also has a QR code, which makes it super easy to order and pay individually -- great for groups. It's a pretty small space but offers a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Ice Carrot Cake Café con Leche I wasn't sure what to expect since I rarely see carrot cake as a drink flavor -- and I don't even like carrot cake that much. Risky move, but glad I tried it. You do get that carrot flavor, but it's sweet and light without being overpowering. A fun surprise. 3.75/5 Empanadas - Picadillo (Beef) Flaky, moist, and flavorful. The beef filling was well seasoned and juicy, not too heavy, and held together really well. 3.75/5 Empanadas - Chicken Also seasoned well. It's more of a shredded chicken style, so not as moist as the beef, but still solid. I liked the beef one more overall. 3/5

    First time at this location and it was open and airy. Today was a very windy day, so we were happy that they closed the "garage door" windows. You ordered via an app and it was efficient and easy. However they added so many fees on top. Overall the food was very good and the drinks as well. Because the shop wasn't very crowded, we were able to hang out a bit longer after we ate. Overall nice place to catch up with friends and enjoy a yummy meal.

    Absolutely delicious empanadas and also enjoyed my mango iced tea. I can't wait to return and try more items. Quick and friendly service. This cafe also has plenty of seating if you'd like to stay and get some work done. Paid hourly parking on nearby side streets.

    This place is so adorably cute and great to grab a bite. We sat at a table and used the QR system to order versus the kiosk line. This is a great way to immediately grab a table if you plan to eat-in. We got the guava pastry, Cuban sandwich, chicken and waffles, and the guava and passion fruit mimosas. Everything g was so great and full of flavor. The mimosas are also a generous pour. Highly recommend if in the area. We will definitely be back to try out more items on the menu.

    Let's start with the Sunday Brunch…read more I defy anyone to find fault with that value. First round of mimosas is expensive but the next six rounds is cheeeeap. And the selection?!?! For under $70 two people can have crab cakes benedict, fried brussels, crispy French toast... I don't even remember. Like ten different things! I didn't have to eat again until 9pm. The food was great! Vinny, who was our handler (clearly he has training in special education or something because we that table. Or maybe the TIPS trainings have advanced to include messy brunch people) was fun, patient, and knowledgeable. This is THE SPOT for brunch on Sunday.

Unfortunately, service started off on the wrong foot. There was a very large party already on the patio, and I was seated behind them. I waited about 12-15 minutes before the rest of my group arrived, but no server ever came by. We decided to head inside to get re‑seated, but couldn't find a hostess anywhere. We eventually flagged down a random server in the bar area and asked if a four‑top could be cleared so we could sit there instead. Thankfully, once we moved inside, everything improved dramatically. Service from that point on was attentive and friendly. The "Peoples Hour" menu was a highlight--great pricing without feeling "cheap." Appetizers were $6-10, cocktails $6-8, wines $6, and beers $6.50. The Down & Dirty (a vodka martini variation without vermouth) was solid, and the Out of the Office...Forever rum punch was decent. For food, we tried several items: - Makers Mini Nachos with steak -- Generous toppings but the chips got soggy quickly under all the queso, sour cream, and guac, which is not necessarily a bad thing. - Taco-bout Fish -- Crispy cod with a lemon aioli; one of the better bites of the night. - Drop It Like It's Hot -- Really good chicken tenders with a spicy Comeback sauce. - Lil B sliders -- Nicely cooked and not overdone; the Comeback sauce added a nice kick. The space has an upscale sports‑bar vibe with TVs above and around the bar. Seating can feel tight when it's busy, and the noise level definitely climbs, so keep that in mind if you're looking for a quieter meal. Despite the rocky start, the rest of the evening was enjoyable. Good food, great happy hour pricing, and solid service once we were settled inside. I'd return--just probably not to the patio during a big party.

I am not sure whether it was because it was late in the evening, but our waiter seemed very disengaged. For a restaurant that presents itself this well, I would expect the service staff to be much more attentive and invested in the guest experience. We would return, but I would prefer not to be served by him again.
