This is a must-visit coffee place in Buenos Aires! It vibes with its history and it takes you to other times. It’s not a modern coffee shop - but it brings its greatness to the present. Staff were friendly although moving a lot considering the place was busy. About the food, the juice and the cappuccino were great! - The grapefruit juice was abundant (see the pic) and it was super fresh. Cappuccino was also a nice size and delicious. The Avocado toast wasn’t as great as others I’ve tried but it was good. I don’t know if other stuff of the menu was better, I usually always ask the Avocado Toast for comparison to other places and because I really like it - I’d recommend making it a little different, maybe adding some tomato cherries or trying a different presentation with something that elevates it a little bit. I spent 10000 pesos Argentinos (January 2024) (remember I order juice, cappuccino and a plate)

Here in Café Las Violetas there is so much splendor everywhere, since the Café is located within a Palacio, one of this elegant old palaces. There are elegant mosaics on many windows, fancy decoration on the pillars, and of course I want to point out the delicious coffee, cookies, and desserts. I had a delicious Cappuccino and some yummy cookies with Dulce de Leche inside…this famous cream large parts of South America is known for. This place is not located in the center but still in the so called inner parts of the city and by subway easy to reach. The waiters are very nice and the ambience is overwhelming when you are into atmospheric elegance from the old days. So the Café Las Violetas has it all. From Buenos Aires with Love!

The food quality was not as good as it was a couple of years ago. The ambience was nice, Christmasy, with plastic poinsettias leaves in the stairs. The place was very busy, so the table service was slow, and there was a line outside. They have a lot of food options and i had a delicious cafe con leche. My wife ordered torta de ricotta, which was a little disappointing. The men's restroom was being cleaned , apparently very slowly because all the time i was there is was closed. I had planned to buy some sandwiches de miga, but when i saw that they looked dry and the edges were turning a bit, so i decided not to buy then and was disappointed about it. I really hope they improve the food quality, as it was a couple of years ago.

An iconic and historic place which offers from a cup of excellent coffee to the famous hot chocolate with churros. You can also visit the bakery inside the same gorgeous building. You can buy from the French baguette to elaborated cakes. This also a perfect spot to drink a five o'clock tea with sandwiches, pastries and the best of European pastries. Take into account that if you can't eat everything you can take the remaining food to your hotel room or home. Prices, thanks to the positive condition of change for foreign currencies such euros, pounds or dollars, are EXCELLENT!

It’s an amazing restaurant. One of the traditional restaurant. The ambience is very pleasant with huge glass paintings in the windows. Generally it’s quite tough to get a seat as soon as you arrive because of its demand.The food is tasty and filling. The quantity is really good for a person while the cost is reasonable. The waiters were professional and the service was quick. We ordered for desayunos - Americano which consists of 2 medialunas, coffee, omlet with ham and cheese, fruit salad and toast with cream cheese spread and jam.

Mi visita a Las Violetas fue una experiencia agridulce. El lugar es encantador, con una atmósfera única y un personal amable, sin embargo, la calidad de la comida y el café dejaron mucho que desear. Pedimos dos sandwiches y quedamos decepcionadas desde el principio. El pan estaba tan viejo y duro que se desmoronaba con cada mordida, lo cual fue bastante desagradable. La única manera de tolerar el pan deslucido fue sumergirlo en el aceite de oliva proporcionado en la mesa. Además, en la carta se anunciaba como "Jamon natural", pero lo que recibimos fue una paleta de calidad cuestionable y otros ingredientes que claramente no coincidían con la descripción en el menú. Para empeorar las cosas, hubo un error en nuestra orden, y nos trajeron lo que ellos quisieron en lugar de lo que pedimos. Los sandwiches no justificaron en absoluto su elevado precio, ya que carecían de sabor y eran completamente intrascendentes. El café, lamentablemente, estaba quemado, lo que arruinó aún más la experiencia gastronómica. A pesar de estos inconvenientes, quiero destacar el trato excepcional de los mozos, quienes fueron verdaderamente divinos y brindaron un servicio ejemplar. Sin embargo, la calidad de la comida y los precios exorbitantes hacen difícil recomendar Las Violetas como una opción gastronómica satisfactoria. Ojalá que tomen medidas para mejorar la calidad de sus productos y mantener el encanto que hace especial a este icónico café de Buenos Aires.
