From the fresh baked bread and buttery croissants to the perfectly made omelets and refreshing fresh-squeezed orange juice--everything was outstanding. Even though we're only in Santiago for a week, we've already decided we'll be going back again. A must-visit spot for anyone looking for a cozy and flavorful breakfast or brunch experience!

The only drawback is the service is really excellent and then I think the server got overwhelmed and forgot to bring out the tart but as long as you're patient it is well worth the wait. The staff were all very kind and it was peaceful and calm on the weekend. I would have preferred to give this place 4.5 stars but anything less would be a lie.

If you love bread and all things pastry, you will LOVE EK. This is a chain, but a very good one…read more I stopped in after an 8-mile run with my dog on Easter Sunday and despite my appearance, I received top-notch service and a smile. After that excellent experience, I decided to bring my hubby for a Sunday brunch. I was VERY satisfied with their brunch menu! I could not believe the amount of food and drink that we both received--it was almost too much (in fact, we did take some breads home with us). When it comes to drinks, like pastries, they don't skimp on quality. The fresh-squeezed juices are terrific and the coffee baristas really know what they're doing. I ordered a coffee on Easter Sunday that was delish and had a hot cocoa most recently. The raspberry juice was so great that my hubby, who was feeling a little under the weather, had two! The ambiance is what you would expect from a French cafe in the city. It's a smaller space but I recommend sitting outside if you can. We sat in the far back courtyard and despite the cold temps outside, we were cozy thanks to the warm heat lamps and they also provide blankets! I highly recommend this spot for the friendly service (even if your Spanish is not great) and really delicious food. They even have a nice bakery right when you walk in the door, so it's a perfect spot to grab a quick host gift, a surprise for a friend, or even a coffee drink to go.

This place is the place to hit if you are visiting Santa Cruz Chile. It is nothing fancy and could…read morebe compared to a dinner but their foods is made daily, including the bread that they use on all of their sandwiches. There are many elegant places to eat while you are in Santa Cruz, they have beautiful ambiance, the whole deal, however most to all of them have a really bad menu. And the food is never worth the inflated price. This is why I also go to El Panificadora while I'm on a weekend adventure outside of Santiago. The have sandwiches, salads, a menu of the day (which always includes mashed potatoes!), and some of the most amazing pizza and ice cream ever. Their pizza is made in a real stove oven and the dough is just perfect. They also serve coffee drinks, beer, soda and wine to drink. Their service is always really fast and even when they are full they somehow can always accommodate one more.

It's a national holiday and we were happy to find this place open. Not sure what's going on.... All…read morethe tables that came after us were served first and nobody gave us any menus. Twice I had to ask somebody to help us. Our waitress was Pamela Quiroz and she was the least helpful/friendly waitress. Horrible service! Plus, she totally brought me the wrong thing and then told me they don't have what I wanted. I guess a menu would have helped!
