Colombian cafe offering specialty coffee, pastries, and breakfast
"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
