Colombian cafe with pan de bono, empanadas, caldo & specialty coffee
"When La Chiva Colombian Cuisine moved across the street in 2021, it made room for sister restaurant LaTinto Café to start pouring small-batch, Colombian coffee drinks and frying up flakey, often cheesy, guava-filled pastries in its former space. You could go big with traditional Colombian dishes like changua, a Colombian milk and egg breakfast soup, or calentao, a downright feast of rice, beans, fried egg, chorizo, and an arepa, but we suggest making a meal out of the pastries, like the pastel Gloria (guava and caramel-filled puff pastry), pandebono (yuca flour and cheese bread), and cachitos. If you can’t find a seat in the small but bright, plant-filled room, take your order to nearby Platt Park." - allyson reedy
"This cozy South Broadway cafe specializes in the breakfast staples of Colombia, serving beef rib- and potato-based caldo de costilla and calentao, which includes rice and beans, fried eggs, chorizo, and an arepa. Chicken-and-pork tamales should be accompanied by the signature Campesino coffee sweetened with panela and cinnamon. Those in the know are bound to grab a few guava empanadas to go from the pastry case, too." - Ruth Tobias
"Sibling to Colombian restaurant La Chiva across the street, this South Broadway cafe naturally brews with single-origin Colombian beans, yielding drinks like the Campesino spiked with panela syrup. Kick back with a cup and a snack — the pastry case is filled with the likes of pan de coco, guava empanadas, and arepas con queso — in the charming sitting room, filled with plants and flanked by a colorful mural." - Ruth Tobias
