Your socks will remain firmly on your feet at the quality of the food and drinks, but the atmosphere is why you're here. The only critique I can garner is that the food and drinks are good but not worth going out of your way for. If I was a little more local I'd be coming in for lunch every day!

I ordered the Mazapán Latte iced, and it was the perfect way to start my Sunday. Sweet, nutty, and beautifully balanced, it's one of those drinks you immediately want to recommend to a friend. I also tried their ham and cheese croissant, which was warm, flaky, and surprisingly flavorful. A simple item done exceptionally well. If you're looking for a spot with authentic Colombian charm, great drinks, and tasty bites, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

We ordered: +the Pistachio Drip +the Honey Goat Milk Latte We also saw that they had housemade empanadas - we went for: +the Chicken Mole +and, the Steak, Mozzarella, and Bell Peppers Both the coffee drinks were served hot, which we appreciated, but, unfortunately, they were both weak and hardly had any of the flavors it was named as. The empanadas, which we were excited for, were a total letdown - the fillings just had an off-putting flavor to them, and one of the crusts were overbaked/burnt (while also be a bit too thick). The staff here are super friendly and welcoming, and this is more of a to-go type of a place. It seems like a local favorite, but we had a disappointing experience - maybe it was an off day, but most likely will not return. Metered street parking can be found in the area. +weak, watered down coffee +avoid the empanadas +friendly staff & service +metered street parking available

The Perkolator was a song back in the day me and my friends would dance to at the clubs. The atmosphere has an old homey vintage look on the outside and inside. Nothing fancy about this place. It took me back to my childhood. When I walked inside I could feel this is the place where the local neighbors come to engage together to enjoy breakfast and freshly brewed coffee. The menu has a list of breakfast selections, soups, sandwiches, pastries, variety flavors of coffee and lattes. Tee-shirt, hats, mugs and other merchandise items for you to order. Small but a decent size seating area for the customers to seat down and enjoy themselves. Vegetarian, Vegan & Gluten Options and Free Wi-Fi. Front window seating upfront by the window. My one star review breakdown. There were 2 young ladies in front of me placing their orders. I could tell they were regular customers. No problem. As I was waited more than 10 minutes, the conversation between the women became more personal. The lady behind the counter was engaging in a full blown conversation with the 2 women. It wasn't about placing an order. I guess the look on my face said to wrap up the conversation so I could place my order and leave. I ordered a small hot latte $6.09 was my total. Cool paid and stood to the side to wait for my latte. The same 2 women were standing there chatting with the baristas, while she was making the drinks. I was happy that I didn't have to wait long for my latte. I took a sip and instantly was pissed. My latte was not hot and filled with a bunch of foam and not a hint of lavender. I stood there until I got the attention of the baristas. When she noticed that I was looking at her, she instantly gave me a weird look. Excuse me but my latte is not hot and I taste no lavender flavor only a milky foam taste. The attitude was real but she remade it and again I was disappointed. It's Sunday and I really didn't have the time for my energy to be off. Good vibes only in 2026. I won't recommend anyone's time to come here and be disappointed. Very rude and unprofessional workers to have towards new customers or any customers. This place has put a had taste in my mouth literally. Latte $6.00 more foam Poor customer service rude
