Cafelombia Bakery & Restaurant — Restaurant in Linden

Came here for lunch, unassuming front of the restaurant but inside is very different. It has nice ambience, and vibe. Cozy & chill. Well lit but not bright, nicely decorated as well, plenty of seating, wall-couch seats are more comfortable, the chairs on the side were a bit too small for my big behind, but that’s fine. What surprised me were the menu was on a tablet they customized, really cool. Ordered a cappuccino, delicious & cute. For appetizer: ordered Maduro con queso (actually ordered this after our entree was the right choice) it was a slightly sweet arepa with cheese. Entree: arepa de choclo con queso, huevos pericos y chorizos~ this was my sister’s dish & I was kind of jealous at how delicious it was. She also got a side of mashed red beans, frijoles rojos. I ordered calentado con huevos pericos y carne a la plancha. Also wonderfully delicious cause I really wanted a steak, got it in medium rare. I honestly wanted to eat & try more but the servings were pretty nice & big for its price. So worth it.

Edit: Came here again, and ordered Maracumango (refreshing tropical drink), Cafe con leche, Pechuga en Crema de Mariscos (delicious shrimp, calamari and grilled chicken smothered in a creamy sauce), and Churrasquito (skirt steak), really recommend getting an extra side of cabolla. Their pickled red onion, is addictingly delicious,...

Well, I had quite high expectations for this place. Because ? Because the place and the proposal are beautiful. The food looked interesting but there were big surprises upon arrival. The waitress, she is a brunette woman of 1.50, I don't know how or who decided that she should attend tables when she has zero experience with customer service, zero attitude and neglects us all the time. It was so much that I had to stop to pick up the companion that came with my Churrasquito. It was a disastrous first experience and translated into what is a beautiful place worth if your staff does not have the attitude or charisma for the tables. Service is...

This café is absolutely gorgeous. We mean, from the feel of Latino inspired interior designs to the much needed smiles on the faces of all staff there, this experience was a real joy. It is a bit tight but cozy. We saw that the guest were also amazing and quick to greet us. Nice guests breed better business and a heightened user experience.
