Masa 81 | restaurante — Restaurant in Bogota, Capital District

Me and my partner went for brunch to Masa 81. We first ordered 2 iced lattes, but I called it an iced latte and my partner called it an café frio. I then got a Turmeric iced latte instead. I tried to explain in my best Spanish to the woman who brought the drinks that I wanted to have an iced latte and not a turmeric. She looked at me really weird and said that it has already been made and then she walked away. Then I asked the woman whom we had been ordering with (she deserves 5 stars tho) for an iced latte instead and I got it right away. The grumpy woman who left the turmeric on the table then brought it the iced latte, she didn’t even look or spoke to me and just put it down quite rude. We got the sandwiches a bit later and it was super tasty! When we went to pay and go to the bathroom, there was a whole lineup of people working behind the counter (about 3-4) that wouldn’t stop staring at me while I was waiting. When I was in the bathroom I heard them say something about me whining about a wrong coffee in a very disrespectful way. Long story short: great food and coffee, worst service ever (except for 1 great lady) and very pricy....

Service was poor and slow. We stopped by at noon for juices and dessert and found the atmosphere lively. About half the place was filled and we were seated immediately. Took a few minutes to get our ordered items, and then our sever, Jenny, never stopped my to check in on us, nor did anyone else.

We ordered mango juice, coffee and strawberry dessert. The mango juice was not good at all.

After we finished we waited a long time for our server and our bill. Instead we had to ask another staff member for the bill. Still yet no bill arrived. After waiting again for a while, we asked for our bill, yet again. After several more minutes, Jenny arrived with our bill. Coffee, juice and dessert took almost an hour!

If you have a lot of time to spare and don’t care to be attended to, then this is the place for you.

If you want to be treated like a valued customer and value timely service,...

I firmly believe that Masa 81 is the best place for breakfast in Bogota. Nestled in a prime location, this place offers a safe haven where you can confidently place your mobile phone on the table without fear of it being snatched away in an instant. The food here is truly exceptional, and I highly recommend trying the Acai bowl paired with homemade baked oats – it's a delightful combination that provides a burst of energy and vitamins to fuel you through the day. Trust me, you'll need all the energy you can get in Bogota! The baked goods are incredibly delicious, and the variety of egg preparations caters to every palate. I'm confident that you'll leave here feeling satisfied, having enjoyed a hearty meal at a reasonable price and perfect approach from...
