    The friendly personnel and excellent drip coffee!! They offer Dark, Medium and Light roast alternatives, so it’s cool. I haven’t tried the empanadas yet but have heard they are very good.

    Try the chicken with cilantro empanada. Amazing! And their coffee is great. The staff is so friendly they even bothered to make me a latte frappe from scratch vs using pre mixed ingredients.
