Ok you guys, the ambience and the food was amazing! We were seated pretty quickly since it was a Tuesday night. However, I heard that over the weekend there is a long line to enter the establishment. We ordered a charcuterie board which was on point. I got myself a tortilla soup, but that was disappointing. There wasn’t any chicken in it, hardly any tortilla. It was mostly tomato purée soup with diced avocado. Dinner option was the lomito (did I spell is right?) aka meat with hot sauce and potatoes. Goodddd!!! They also served slices of bread. As far as drinks go, I got myself a pitcher of sangria. Come on you guys, you should try it out. It was $12US!! Let’s get real, we don’t pay those prices in the US. Not in NY! It was not too strong and not too sweet. The fruits made it extra delicious. I asked if we can take a pitcher to go & the waiter was shocked that I even asked. He said no one has ever asked that before 💀😂. I made sure I took some for the Airbnb. The waiter was cool/very attentive. Excellent customer service! I’m actually going back to get their croissants bc I heard they are the bomb! Let’s see what those taste like.

This is a beautiful location with a nice bar in the main entrance and the cafe / Restaurant in the back. The staff was friendly and helpful the food (we were here for breakfast) was great we got some fruit salad, Omelette, toasts and coffee. The building just like many in Antigua Guatemala has its own charm. Prices were standard for the type of food and location, they didn’t get my 5 stars due to the fact that their restrooms could be a little cleaner and we asked for a water with gas (Mineral water) and the Ice Cubes were “dirty”.

I’ve been in Antigua 4 weeks and this is BY FAR the best spot I’ve found. I’ve only ever ordered to go but if you’re in the neighborhood I suggest you do the same. They’ve got croissants, cinnamon rolls, pain su chocolat, other desserts but my personal favorite, the Pepitos. These are sandwiches which are freshly made upon ordering them. They have plenty of options for what you want in them but I switch between the pulled pork sandwich and the avocado, egg, cheese, ham and sauce one. The bread is exquisite, and just a tad smaller than a foot long and they come with a tiny container of spicy green sauce. I haven’t even said the best part. ITS ONLY 20Q!

This restaurant is a great place to get coffee and dinner. They have a bakery with pastries coffee options. It has historic vibe like it has been a solid stable in the neighborhood for great time with family or friends. Many families just come for coffee and dessert. They also have a bar. They have a medium sized courtyard and clean bathrooms. I would recommend one of the desserts like the cheesecake and coffee. They have plenty of staff that was nice and willing to help. This place is a legend in the neighborhood

It is a place whose atmosphere gives you calm and allows you to enjoy its exquisite coffees as well as its very good pastries. It is enjoyed in the wide sense of the word, the music if there is one is pleasant and moderate, which allows you to have a conversation without major noise problems, the service is very good and tremendously comfortable. Another day we ordered take a way. Pastry was fresh and extremely good. 100% recommendable.

Probably the best food I had in Antigua. I had a traditional breakfast involving beans, eggs and a steak which was perfectly prepared. Their homemade drinks were also amazing. Very friendly English speaking staff. Quick service and I could pay with a European Visa card. Even though we only had a couple of days in Antigua, we ended up going back to eat here a second time! I would call this a must visit while in Antigua.
