La Biblioteca Café — Restaurant in San Salvador

So I’ve been twice to this place while on vacation. Once on my own and tried a Cappuccino and a slice of Tiramisu cake once in the morning. The Cappuchino was good. The second afternoon was during a food tour. The hot horchata was good.

This evening was the third time and I sat at one of the outside tables for about over 30 minutes and no staff member inside or outside assisting other customers came to offer me a menu. The other times I was inside. Yet other people came in and out of the restaurant and got menus. There were about 5 staff members, a couple of men and one woman. Horrible service and I won’t be back. Hopefully it wasn’t a case of racism as I am clearly a different race and not native but this crew here after 6:00 P.M. tonight when I got there needs professional training. I was looking forward to a burger and another hot drink but oh well.

Such a shame especially in a historic center of a country where obviously there will be tourism. But that’s the ugly side of lack of professionalism or racism. It should be addressed because as those things are often based in ignorance, it’s causing this business to lose money. Also ,...

I stopped by this spot recently, and it genuinely made for a pleasant experience. The place itself leans on the smaller side, but it's exactly that which adds to its cozy allure. It’s got this vibe that's both welcoming and snug—a real charm to it.Service here? Absolutely fantastic. The staff were on their toes, making sure we were taken care of without hovering too much.

Decided to give the Treasure Island sandwich ($4.5) a try, paired with chips and a vanilla iced latte ($3.95). The latte was on the sweeter side for my liking, but still, it was a refreshing pick-me-up. The sandwich was quite the treat, although I would’ve preferred it without lettuce.

All in all, this place offers great vibes and service. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and in a mood for a cozy spot with a friendly atmosphere...

Cute and cozy cafe with nice sandwiches and smoothies in addition to coffee, tea, and sweet treats. Service is excellent. There is a book exchange and games to play. It is a bit hidden in the bottom floor of the library but lots of windows...
