Found this spot in Santiago wandering for a heartier breakfast than pastries could give me. It was excellent. Ordered the toast and an iced caramel latte. The barista even explained the coffee origin and notes. Four stars on atmosphere only because it’s a small space and may not be great for groups of 4+.

It is a really nice place. The vibes are very cozy, especially on a rainy day. The staff is very friendly and nice to talk with. It was a lovely experience. Personally the food was a bit to salty but I am a mild eater so for most people it should be good. The plate was very full and the food was placed aesthetically. It is worth trying out!

Was delighted to find a little cafe that does specialty coffee - flat white was delicious. We also had lunch and that was great too. Staff super friendly and even though it was very central it had a much more quiet and relaxed atmosphere than some other cafes/restaurants we looked at.

Their 5 stars is well deserved, kind service, fabulous food - I had a wonderful flat white with oat milk and the veg toast w poached egg mushrooms asparagus, etc… beautiful space too. If I were here longer I’d breakfast there daily.
