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.

The place is beautiful, got beautiful decor and artwork all around. The waiters (once you get their attention) are very nice. Service is very very slow but that's typical of Argentine culture. It took them about 20 minutes to bring the bill.

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. They have everything from chemex prepped teas to lattes with specialities such as organic honey and cardamom latte and nitro brews all made in house. 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 :)

The shop was really busy the time I visited with a mix of office workers and foreigners. The coffee here is very good and is one of the better cups of coffee I have had in BA.

After two attempts, they did finally give us what was on the order. The wrap was ok, pretty bland. Beautiful day to sit outside but the street vendors are as annoying as mosquitoes.

Yay!! They toasted it and it came with cream cheese. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the portion was giant, it must of been like four eggs. I couldn't finish it.

As seems to be the case in BA, most wines are only available by the bottle, not by the glass. They have a few beers to choose from and a good assortment of cocktails. The drinks came with some appetizers of olives, potato chips, and peanuts a long with two small finger sandwiches. Those were not expected but well appreciated. We've been warned about the potential for snatch and grab robberies so we kept an eye on passers by. Several came by multiple times for no reason so be careful if you sit outside.
