Troupial

Authentic food and friendly service. I got a sweet bun that had cheese on top of it. And it actually went well so good! The sweet flavor of the sticky bun mixed interestingly well with the saltiness of the thick cheese on top of it. It also came with fresh fruit which was nice. And I got some fruit juice that was tasty too. My friend got a sort of roll with ham, olives, and something else inside of it. I tried some and that was very good too. The inside is super chic and the vibes are good.

This place is all you are looking for to enjoy a home made meal, delicious coffee with an awesome, perfectly designed atmosphere. Look around and enjoy every detail .The service was so great we felt at home. Hidden gem in Savannah!

Really awesome cafe with interesting pastries! Cachito, guava, and cheese buns were so fire, fresh and delicious. Coffee is strong, affogato with Venezuelan rum is too good as well! The staff are so kind, love this place.

Update from 11/13/22 at the bottom. Original review: This cafe was amazing to experience from start to finish. Upon entering you are greeted to a cozy space with a coffee bar in the back area. We were served by the owner herself and she was just lovely and incredibly knowledgeable. After speaking to her I could tell that every aspect of the cafe is a part of her vision from the cafe's name to the food with coffee pairings. The experience felt truly personal in a way that elevates the cafe experience. As for food we tried three different arepas. They're pretty large so just keep that in mind. Three ended up being the perfect amount for the two of us. The star of the show was the blt arepa. Though they were all great in different ways. For drinks I had a ristretto, which was amazingly dialed in. It was rich, thick, and chocolatey. Probably the best ristretto I've ever had. My partner has an affogato with house made ice cream. What I got to try of it was excellent. All in all this place was lovely all around and I will absolutely be coming back. Might end up making it my go to cafe (if I wake up early enough). Thank you for the lovely lunch. UPDATE: 11/13/22 - Since the move to the new building the service has not been friendly. I understand being understaffed but I have just felt a negative attitude from the staff every time I've come. This last time we were trying to meet up with friends who were already seated and the employee we talked to refused to help us and assumed we were lying. On a smaller note the coffee quality seems to have dropped a bit since the move as well. Food is still good but not good enough to warrant dealing with the negativity here. Also, at the new space you cannot walk into the building and find a seat so no matter when you arrive there will always be a wait. I think I'm done trying at this new version of Troupial. It's just not a friendly environment. I hope it improves.

I live close to this lovely asset to my neighborhood. I can’t express how happy I am to have this experience so close by. Makes my Savannah/Starland home even better. The food and service is unmatched. So, everyone knows they have a doorbell for entry. Get over it. It’s partly cultural and also provides them with a feeling of control since it’s a small team and unique space. I get it. The coffee is from Cup to Cup and the food and welcoming vibe is from the heart. A local treasure already.

Adorable european-cafe-style spot serving delicious Venezuelan pastries, arepas, and drinks. Atmosphere is bright and airy but also quaint and relaxed. I only got a to-go order but the service was friendly and attentive while I waited. Would love to come back to dine in!

The juices and coffee are spectacular! Real juice not watered down. Coffee is just the right amount of strong and doesn’t need sugar. The arepas perfectly crisped and flavorful. The music, while one of my favorite genre I wanted to hear or expected something more authentic and Venezuelan. My family is so happy here. Definitely will be a regular.

I love arepas. @troupialsav had the most authentic flavors and I want them in KC!!! You must get the Pan de Jamon and the beef pasteles. Order these then look at the rest of the menu. The Pan de Jamon would be the best every day breakfast. Great pastry, salty olive and ham, and fatty cheese, it was so good. The pastry for the pasteles was flaky and buttery with seasoned beef. Then the arepas. You must get the Pabellon arepa. Beef, sweet plantains, beans, avocado on the best arepa - all good thing in one pocket.
