We had to get our own menus, and even though the sign says they closed at 8, they made it obvious they wanted to leave around 7:20. Cash only, no transfers between local banks like most other places. The cat cappuccino was very cute, the chai te latte was good, a tiny bit weak but good. The Chilean empanada was a baked Ecuadorian empanada, not remotely Chilean, but the flavor was good. For the price, I will go somewhere else for burgers and food, but if someone suggested going again, I wouldn't say no, but I probably won't be the one to suggest it.

They have outdoor seating that looks out on the park, but we sat inside which is nicely decorated. Our breakfasts were good but not great. I had waffles, which were nice but the chocolate syrup was a little off putting. My wife had the mote pillo breakfast, and she said the mote was excellent. We added juice and coffee, but the coffee did not arrive till after we ate. Overall a good place that could be great with minor improvements.

It included juice, a hot beverage, and several things along with the main entree for $7.50. I suspect there was a glitch in the service. My wife ate half of her meal, then when I asked about mine, it was promptly brought out. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $5–10 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
