We ordered a cake from here for a special occasion. It was the best cake I've ever had! And I usually do not like cake. We will definitely be ordering again. Thank you!

We have been exploring the Guadalupe neighborhood and found this little gem of a coffee shop on Calle Cri Cri. It’s across the street from a 5 star Airbnb apartment complex, and around the corner from amazing murals. The food is extremely good, the cafe is spotless, the street is quiet and the drinks are perfect.

A tiny gem with great, healthy food! Andrea and her mom Marisela will welcome you as if you’re visiting their home. We had oatmeal with fruit, nuts, and shredded coconut. One of the best we’ve ever had. And the omelettes with salad are exquisite! All ingredients are fresh and food is made to order. They also keep and sell beautiful plants and pots. It’s worth walking to Guadalupe to enjoy it.

I would rate this little hidden gem up there with some of the best food I’ve ever had, not just in SMA, but anywhere. If you like blue cheese, you have to try the lovely tostada w/ blue cheese, caramelized onions, fresh figs, honey and arugula. TDF. Go, you’ll be happy you did!

Small place to stop for coffee or a snack while visiting the murals in the area. We split a mushroom focaccia, it was delicious and the service was friendly.

Small and quiet family run restaurant open for breakfast and lunch. Liked it becausecit has other menu options than usual. They also sell plants which adds to the atmosphere.

What a gem! The food is fresh and delicious, coffee is delightful, and if you don’t save room for dessert (even at breakfast) you’re really missing out! If they have the mango and passionfruit pie, get a piece to eat now and take one for later—you’ll be talking about it for days!
