I stayed at the hotel across the street and noticed this cafe/bakery in the morning. There is a…read moreStarbucks right below, but I didn't want to travel to another country to drink the same burnt sugary coffee.
I walked into the store and loved how bright and airy the entire cafe felt. There was a lot of natural sunlight pouring in that made it the perfect place to enjoy a cup of brew and wake up.
As I ordered, I was looking around at the pastries and wondering if anything was vegan-friendly. In my broken Spanish, I tried to relay to the cashier if they still had 'vegana' pastries. Her eyes lit up as she finally understood what I was saying and ran off to the side. She came back and presented a Concha Vegana which I happily accepted. I also ordered a soy latte.
The latte was creamy and delicious. Perfectly made and paired so joyfully with my Concha, which was soft with flaky edges and slightly sweet.
I didn't have time, but I would have loved to sit in one of their outdoor patio chairs to relax and watch the world go by.
What a perfect way to start my vacation and pleasantly surprised and happy to know that there is vegan-friendly cafe right across from my hotel!
