⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Sierra Bowden
Came here with a friend because I drove by and noticed they were a Colombian place. As a Colombian myself I love finding different places to eat that have flavors of home. We ordered quite a few things and every single one of them was delicious. The flavors were perfect snd I would come back if I lived here. Coffee was delicious, not too sweet. Perfectly brewed. We loved it! Muchas gracias, estaba rico.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — D Castro
Great place for a quick bite. They have a great selection of food and it’s very affordable. They also have a drive thru, a nice patio but parking is limited. The coffee and food is fresh and they have chess boards. There is also a bar
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jayson Baker
I enjoyed this place. Good selection and fun atmosphere. I had the empenadas for lunch. They were delicious. It was quiet for lunch, but I suspect it doesn't stay that way for the evening. I experienced it as a self serve. If diner and coffee shop had a funky love child this would be it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Laurel Eaton
This place is absolutely amazing! I drove by for a couple of years before trying it, and then went to the drive through. The chai end the coffee drinks are delicious. Every single food i've tried is amazing, but my favorite thing is the chicken creptaco. Finally went here tonight to go inside for the first time, and found an adorable bar with excellent service and delicious food and drinks!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Hon Lam
I have been here since it started and have seen the transformation of the place, it used to be really really nice inside with plenty of space for sit downs and family oriented vibes, large tables for groups and study sessions. Since then they have pivoted to more of a bar scene, with an inside bar, needed that for the Texas heat, and night time with concerts and stages. I missed all the nice plants, paintings and coffee shop vibe back in the day. The place still serves good food, get the empanadas, very friendly staff and still good coffee. Definitely something I would visit in Austin if I'm on the south side anytime, highly recommend stopping by for the cheese bread. Best cheese bread in town unless they run out 😔 Also they have a drive through and patio outside that's usually 🐕 friendly. ♟️ chessboard is a new nice touch
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Chad
Stopped in on a weekend for an empanada and coffee. We received great service and the empanada were very good. I recommend this location to anyone who wants to stop in for a great coffee and a more traditional setting as opposed to a chain coffee shop.
