It is a great spot to chill and enjoy a drink with a friend or if you want a place to study. They have a variety of coffees and desserts, ranging from traditional Chilean sweets, but also have yummy chocolate cakes. I highly recommend the sweets; lemon pie, carrot cake, and the chocolate raspberry truffle cake. The chocolate raspberry truffle cake is truly delicious by the decadent and rich layer of raspberry, dark chocolate, manjar, and chocolate cake. Their coffee is regular, nothing out of the ordinary, but it is nice and hot. Overall, their service is exceptional, really attentive staff and have a pretty cool playlist.

Es un lugar excelente para relajarse y disfrutar un cafe con amigos o estudiar comodamente. Tienen una variedad de cafes y postres, desde postres Chilenos tradicionales, pero tambien ofrecen sabrosas tortas de chocolate. Yo recomiendo los postres; pie de limon, torta de zanahoria, y la torta de frambuesa y trufa de chocolate. La torta de frambuesa y trufa de chocolate esta riquisima ya que viene con varias capas de chocolate, frambuesa, y manjar decadente y cremoso. El cafe es regular, nada de lo ordinario, pero lo sirven caliente. En general, el servicio es excepcional, son muy atentos y tienen una lista de reproduccion muy bacan.

Before reviewing the restaurant, I should mention that this is a vineyard with tours and a wine store, so you could make a day of it. Our lunch began with a complimentary appetizer, a small serving of fish breaded and fried with a delicious beet sauce (and I don't normally like beets!). For starters we had a mozzarella salad and crab cakes. The artisanal mozzarella was delicious, and the salad included a tasty combination of olives, capers, red peppers, and hearts of palm. The crab cake wasn't exactly a cake, more liquid than a cake but less liquid than a stew. It too was delicious, one of the best I have had (it compared favorably to the crab cakes at Sea Salt in Minneapolis, arguably the best there are). It seemed to have been cooked with cheese, it tasted like Swiss to me. For the main course we had braised pork ribs with mashed sweet potatoes and veal ossobuco with mixed vegetables, mostly beans, cooked in the gravy. Both meats were tender and flavorful. The mixed vegetables were exceptionally tasty, the sweet potatoes not so much. For dessert, we ordered Crema Catalans de castaña and coulant de chocolate amargo. The Crema Catalana was like a creme brûlée with a glazed crust, but underneath was pudding rather than custard. Pudding was fine with me, but it was way too sweet. The coulant de chocolate amargo was a chocolate lava cake, with a small scoop of ice cream and berries on the side. Delicious!
