4.9 / 5.0(1,018 reviews)
Y’all all this food was super super super good. The staff were super friendly. The environment itself was very cute and as I’m typing this up I’m also looking at a bunch of dogs who were playing with each other so it is absolutely a perfect vibe and I 100% recommend it It was in fact hidden, but after I found it, I was in love! Absolutely gorgeous. The food was good and it had a quiet calm vibe. If you’re a plant person, this place is a dream to just admire the plants. Beautiful garden atmosphere which is so peaceful. It seems popular with tourists. I'm ordering the Samaya- double espresso w milk and topped w cacoa whipped with soy cream (which I think is ice cream). Free Americano or cookie offered for review 😊
