Grano de Café Northern Blvd — Restaurant in New York

It was a to go order so I basically had to throw out my...

I have tried many before that are ok, but I could always make better at home. This was the first time I was completely amazed with how perfect it came out. I promise you guys when I say it’s the best I’ve ever had I mean it, I’ve had from Colombia and here I was born and can confirm this is as authentic and amazing as they come! I will now come here often just for that cup of aguapanela con limón, and fyi they lemon flavor is amazing and thoughout the whole cup you tasted the lemon through...
