What a hidden gem this place is! It's so quaint and cozy. Don't miss the patio/garden in the back! We ordered the beef empanada, the mini berry pie and cortados and everything was excellent. Will be returning here as often as I can 😍
Wow, what a fantastic coffee and breakfast! I don’t normally leave reviews, but I’m sitting here drinking the rest of my coffee so impressed. The breakfast empanada was fantastic. The cappuccino is *chef’s kiss.* I love an espresso drink that isn’t too milky; this was perfect. I highly recommend this place before a day at the aquarium!
My first visit to this cafe was a good one. I ordered 3 different types of empenadas which were all tasty. The Ice'd Mocha and Chai Latte drinks ordered were a yummy blend.
Great quality, unique flavors!
Amazing spot croquettes and did he de leches latte, best latte I’ve had in california! And what a wonderful family run business
Friendly staff who were happy to share information on different options. The empanadas were great and a really nice little patio out back.
Very poor experience with the coffee. We got an Americano (1/5) and a pour over (0/5). Both were very weak but the pour over was extra bad, it was like sour dirty water. It could just have been new employees working or because it was close to closing, but we were very disappointed. Keurig coffee is better than what we got. Cute place, comfy chairs.
Super cute little cafe and the secret garden is dreamy! Staff was really nice and helpful. Try the spiced iced mocha - SO good! Empanadas are amazing as well!
Really nice place to hang out and have good coffee, empanadas,pastries or the signature drink: yerba mate. Check it out, you wont be dissapointed.
Favorite comfort food
Beautiful cafe and delicious authentic food! The coffee is delicious and the cocido is so rich and smoky!

Great little place in great location. The empanadas are fantastic yet small and probably the most expensive in the world. Worse, they had only crossed out the visible old price when we were there so we saw the 50% mark up. I guess it's inflation?
They had the best latte I've ever had. Definitely coming again!
We stopped as tourists from southern California and enjoyed the best latte and hot chocolate served to us in real mugs with hot pastries.
Fantastic espresso drinks and magical cakes. Or go savory with an empanada filled with home-smoked meats and a glass of malbec or gourd of maté. This place is a gem.
Not to be missed. Amazing coffee. Both espresso drinks & pour overs. Beautiful outdoor patio. Friendly & skilled staff/owners.
Relaxed and beautiful setting, feels like a cozy little slice of a finer time... When coffee and conversation were synonymous. Their music is unobtrusively pleasant, the plants are lush; someone there clearly loves using their green thumb! It's always spotlessly clean. The outdoor patio is wonderful, too: in back or on the sidewalk. Not a good choice if you are in a hurry or want starbucks - no triple flip double halfcalf grandiente with a tworled moosmillk froth. Just excellent coffee and tasty food treats (also beer on tap) made fresh and delivered to your table with a smile.
Always a must visit when we're in Monterey. The empanadas are delicious!
Lovely cafe with delicious empanadas. The empanadas are a good size and they give an amazing chimichurri on the side. I like the beef and pulled pork ones.
