I’ve visited many places, but I’ve never written a review before. I’ve been traveling for a year, and this café gave me the best experience. The coffee was delicious, and the owner was incredibly kind. Even though I didn’t speak Spanish well, I was warmly welcomed. When I didn’t have any cash, they even gave me the coffee for free. Of course, I came back and paid for it later. It was the best coffee I’ve had in 24 years. If you’re in Bogotá, don’t miss this café!

Recently visited this small, cute, and cozy spot, and let me tell you, it's absolutely lovely! The coffee tastes fantastic, with various preparation methods available. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful; feel free to ask them anything to help you choose the best coffee. Don't miss out on trying their "Tetero", a sweet milk to keep you warm!

This cafe is indeed a hidden haven with friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere and amazing (affordable) coffee straight from the owners family farm. I didn't try any of the food and it also looks top notch. It's a shame I only discovered this place in my final hours in Colombia!
