I took a little trip here this afternoon with my boyfriend and his mother. When we got to the entrance, I was a bit confused due to the gate and fact that it just looks like you're pulling into an apartment complex. However, the call box has instructions for the coffee shop. We followed the signs toward the cafe and parked in a spot for paid parking. It was a bit confusing as well so we had to ask the worker at the cafe how to proceed with that since the system had asked us for an apartment number and other info that wasn't applicable to us. It turned out we were just on the wrong section and got it sorted out quickly. As a heads up, we saw a sign that said the coffee shop is only open to residents on Saturdays and Sundays--good thing we decided to come in on a Monday!
Ambiance: The coffee shop is clean and cute inside. Unbeatable, however, is the view of the River when you step out back. It's truly incredible. Peaceful, powerful, and breathtaking. 6/5
Food / Drink: We were extra excited to come here because my boyfriend and his mother are both from Venezuela. We got an order of regular tequeños (dough wrapped), tequeños de maíz (corn wrapped), an empanada de queso (cheese empanada), and a raspberry cheese danish. I especially enjoyed the danish and regular tequeños. The corn tequeños were okay but not as good as the dough ones. I'm still glad we tried them though! The empanada was just okay too. Dipping the tequeños in the salsa verde was like heaven. I could drink that sauce. Next time, I'd continue to get the tequeños as well as try more of their pastries! For my drink, I got the seasonal brown sugar shaken latte. I absolutely loved it! It had the perfect touch of sweetness and creaminess that paired well with the espresso. 4/5
Service: Everyone behind the counter was friendly and welcoming. They answered all of our questions, had great recommendations, and had beautiful smiles. 5/5
We enjoyed our experience here and can't wait to be back! 5/5
