All of the syrups they use in house are home made and all of their ingredients are really nice top quality. You can see that they truly take pride in all they do.

Coming from New York there are lots of coffee shops but none that quite hit the target like this place. Was truly impressed and hope they plan open one up by us soon :)

We came at the recommendation of a good friend who grew up in Buenos Aires to try the medialunas and loved all the dishes we had as well! Of greater note, the service here was just amazing. My friend and I came outside of the kitchen's hours, but they made us hot food regardless rather than just offering us pastries. Our server also gave us extra pastries to-go free of charge on our way out. Very kind of them!!

The pastries are insane here-- everything looks and smells amazing. The veggie empenada I had was filling and delicious, and the pastry I finally settled on was blow-your-mind good.

Was so glad I found this place and would definitely go back.

It's the oldest cafe in Buenos Aires and I liked the old school feel of it. We ordered a cafe con leche (latte), a tostada mixto (ham and cheese toastie sandwich), and a medialuna (smaller sweet croissant pastry). The portions were large so definitely shareable. The latte and the tostada mixto were good. Service was good as well, faster than I expected (I'm from NYC where everything is fast haha). The reviews said service was slow which I did not experience but it could be that I came early in the morning so it wasn't busy.

They had some creative coffee options: expresso with cardamom, espresso with whisky, and every conceivable type of expresso/milk concoction. Their food is also really good. I ate a few steak sandwiches there and I was always very impressed. You can tell this place is an institution good because virtually all swathes is Buenos Aires come here, from fancy ladies on their way to or coming back from concerts to Argentine hipsters taking advantage of the strong wifi with their laptops. The place is quite old, I think it was founded sometime in the 1920s, but I could be misremembering. Nevertheless, the decor and architecture is certainly of that time. Oh and they are also a spice store.
