Really cute spot with a nice vibe. Lots of interesting art prints for sale and good music. We've had a latte and dirty chai almost everyday this week in our own cups. Definitely appreciate being able to use my own container without any hassle or weirdness. Recommend if you're in the area!

The name has changed. The coffee is still good. I love several things here: the rooibos lavender infusion, the pu erh mandarine tea, and the cookies.

El lugar es tranquilo y agradable, cuenta con estacionamiento propio (solo revisar el lugar que le corresponde a la cafetería dentro del mismo) que le da un "plus" adicional, además de que cuentan con actividades y además de venta de productos artesanales, como la joyería artesanal marca LUNA NITRATA me encantó para regalar como detalle. La comida es rica y tiene varias opciones. Muy recomendable

Excelente servicio, rica comida, unas galletas de manzana y nuez deliciosas y unas bebidas frutales naturales y refrescantes, ampliamente recomendables. Los anfitriones, IG @natalia.ilustra y @dislexia.grafica son enormemente talentosos y tienen sus artículos en venta ahí en @cafecito_ilustra !!! el arte es invaluable pero si hay que ponerle un monto, su arte vale cada centavo.
