Cafe La Fe, coffee shop and bubble tea.

I traveled from East Harlem to support a sister in Christ, and from the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. The owner greeted me with a warm smile and treated me with such courtesy and respect. Her café is beautiful inside, filled with Bible scriptures that inspire and uplift the atmosphere. Now let’s talk about my drink and the carrot cake. I ordered the Cookie Anointing Cookie Butter Iced Latte, and it was absolutely delicious! The carrot cake was perfectly moist and not overly sweet—just the way I like it. I will definitely be back to support her and try more of her amazing flavored coffees.

Favorite coffee shop now! It's one of the places where you can go and feel different being there, drinking your coffee, reading and listening worship music. It is served with true love by a Christian woman. The place, service, ambience, price is great. Try the tres leches cake 🥧🤍 God bless

I had a wonderful experience at Cafe La Fe. The vibe was awesome and gave me motivation to start my own business. I love the set up and the pink coffee pot that caught my eye. The scriptures were very encouraging and the worship karaoke was so fun and much needed. I definitely recommend a day date or intimate outing with your besties. Show love to the owner who is a believer and a mother making good coffee and giving good advice!

Super cozy and friendly coffeeshop with empanadas and tons of options. I got the rose revival iced latte. Also a good place to bring kids as they have children’s books here and crayons. They also had mugs for sale. There’s something for everyone here.

There is power in this café and it’s a Holy one. I love this café, not only for the amazing drinks that is being made with love🥰🥺! Before the fact that this place is literally a spiritual cleanse of goodness and purity ! Every time I walk in here, my energy just finds peace immediately. That’s what a café should do. The fact that this is in the heart of LES is such a blessing . Please come here and please support you will never regret it . My favorite drinks are the passionfruit and strawberry Matcha! I also had the rose coffee yesterday 100/100

GREAT cafe with excellent espresso and empanadas. The vibe is so positive and it feels good to support our local community. Especially when it’s so delicious! The owner grew up on the Lower East Side and still lives there. Definitely stop in for a treat!

It’s sad to see so much AI art across nyc when we’re a hub of culture and the arts. a real artist or photographer should be hired instead of making logos and promotions via artificial intelligence that produces off stolen art. I get the appeal because margins are tough and it’s cheap— but it’s built on taking real people’s creations without their consent or compensation, and it’s soulless.

Delicious food and drinks and exceptional service!! The food is full of flavor and made FRESH! I highly recommend the pink sauce as well, so yummy. It is such a nice spot to have a nice bite and unwind, it feels like being in a cozy living room while having a home cooked meal. The empanadas are also the best in the neighborhood!

I've been coming here since day one and I always am too excited to take a pic of these delicious empanadas. I got all 3 varieties and all are good. What sets them apart from other places is their flakey baked crust ! It had a nice buttery taste without grease. You won't feel regrets after eating them. But the other day I was introduced to something I cant stop thinking about nor telling everyone it even exists. It's the Lemon Americano here. I was intrigued just by the name so I enquired about the ingredients. She said "it's like a homemade lemonade with shots of espresso ". Sounds kinda refreshing so I took a shot. Man. It was love at first sip ! Wow !! Picture an Arnold Palmer but with coffee. You'd never guess how delicious this combo is until you try it. I never seen it offered anywhere and it seems the woman that owns and runs cafe La Fe makes her's with real lemon syrup. Bc when I tried to replicate it by ordering a lemonade from a coffee shop with a shot of expresso it just wasn't as good. Also, it does help Cafe La Fe uses good espresso! Get it with an empanada on a warm day and enjoy the seating outside or even inside. You won't regret it !

Cafe La Fe is a small, cozy cafe. The owner is very friendly, the empanadas are delicious with good portions. The smoothie options are diverse and tasty as well.

i would drive back to the city just for this yummy homemade pastry. I was there 2 weeks ago and think about how tender the dough and flavorful the filling tasted!

Cafe La Fe serves a variety of coffee drinks, juices, and savory eats. fairly new spot to the neighborhood. stopped by bc i wanted a snack for a long walk. ordered a chicken empanada which is ample but priced accordingly. the chicken filling was seasoned well and hit the spot as it was just the right amount of food. definitely glad i stopped for an empanada as opposed to just grabbing a bag of chips or candy. the interior is clean and pleasant--with a little bit of space of seating. service was fast and pleasant.

I found this place hidden on a small street and it was so worth going to! It's such a cute cafe, as soon as you enter the smell of coffee and pasteries greet you. The service was pretty quick, no more than 5 minutes to wait. I loved the specialty Ruth coffee, it was made with vanilla and caramel

I've been a number of times after my first visit. I love it SO much! The coffee flavors are delicious and nothing like you'll see in rhe neighborhood. They are always so welcoming and sweet every time I come in. The music is uplifting and comforting, like a Sunday morning at your mom's house. The seating is plentiful and SO cozy for such a small space! Every empanada is delicious, and I'm so happy I finally got to eat one without dropping it. What a joy to have such a wonderful space in my neighborhood.

Delicious baked empanadas! I loved the chicken empanada (had a some spice to it) and the spinach & cheese flavor. The owner was very kind and provided excellent service.

I'm lucky to have found this place as it will definitely be my new coffee, latte, breakfast, and empanada place whenever I am in the area! The empanadas are what brought us to this place and they are out of this world delicious - easily the best I've ever had. So much so that we went back three days in a row so I could take some home to Philly with me. We've had all three kinds of empanadas and they are all good. We tried the coffee and being a chai lover, we went with the "David" which has 3 shots of expresso and chai and it was absolutely the best. Woke us right up, which is what we needed! We've also tried the 'deluxe' coffee place right next door and honestly Cafe La Fe's lattes were better AND less expensive - the La Colombe coffee she uses is delicious. The owner is a sweetheart and you can tell wants to make her customers happy and innovate new ideas of things to offer. She is a talented cook (as evidence by these awesome empanadas) and can't wait to see what she comes with next!

Delicious and fresh empanadas! Both chicken and beef were great and very friendly vibe.

Best beef empanada I had in a long time! The pastry was baked so not oily and the meat is flavorful with the olives providing a nice balance! I will definitely come back for more!

These women in this little business were THE nicest people! We found this beautiful little cafe walking through the East Village and stopped in for a quick savory bite and a coffee! The empanadas were amazing and so were the mocha and hot chocolates! But hands down, the best part were the kindest women who were serving us (maybe the owners) and they had these very special quotes all over the wall about kindness, etc., which you could see they really took to heart! I will be back every time I'm back in the city. What a breath of fresh air in a world that can be kind of curt and unkind sometimes! Please rush there to support them!

This business has great food, nice people. Try the spinach empanada! Flavorful and moist.

Cafe La Fe took over the former Pinky's space. I love supporting small businesses in the neighborhood and initially popped in without much expectation but was pleasantly surprised by friendly family vibe and the delicious homemade food and now it's become a regular spot for me. The aqua frescas are all handmade, not commercially prepared, and the Piña Colada you can taste the actual pineapple and coconut, much of the sweetness coming from actual fruits not commercial mixes and not overloaded with sugar. "Limon" is both lemon and lime in Spanish, so the "Limonade" was made with limes, and the perfect sweetness. The empanadas are large and delicious with generous amount of filling, a far cry from the dry crumbly thing I used to think was an Empanada!! For me it's the perfect size for a lunch with a nice space to sit down with a friend and enjoy.

I just discovered this little storefront at the end of the night. The beef empanadas were really good, the woman behind the counter was super nice, and the welcoming ambience of the place made me promise to return for a coffee--and more empanadas!

Great empanadas I'm sure other offerings are great also. Made with love and purpose. Hope to be back soon!

Great new spot. Best empanada and tacos and amazing people! Really cool place. I can't wait to try the flan!

SOO GOOD. My second spinach and cheese arepa was better than the first! Every bite I took was more delicious than the first. If I lived in 1st and 1st this place would be a daily visit.
