Cute little neighborhood café, offering up a tasty range of the usual suspects in the local pastry…read moreworld. Staff, a little stand-off-ish, but efficient, at least.
A café americano and a postre balcarce. Three layers of vanilla sponge cake, rather firm, the bottom two sandwiching a thin layer of dulce de leche, then the next layer up, a very thin coat of what I'd guess is sweet chestnut paste, no meringues, a thin coating of whipped cream around the outside, and then a heavy dusting of sweetened grated coconut. Not exactly traditional. Okay, no better than that, and only a nod at faithfulness to the original. Okay coffee. 100 pesos combined. Meh. What can I say, they can't all be winners.
