Best Coffee shop on Quito. They custom roast each Bach of coffee trying to get the perfect profile. The baristas are very well trained and know what they are doing. Don’t forget the Corviche, simply fantastic

Great attention to detail, nice and cozy place to catch up. I recommend their figs cheesecake, it was super good, the sweet caramelized figs goes well with the cheesecake.

El mejor!! Excellent coffee, probably the best in Quito. The owner is highly knowledgeable, passionate about specialty coffee, and his passion shines through every cup. The cheesecake de higos is to die for.

The coffee was excellent. Possibly the best I've ever had... But we waited longer than I would have liked and it sounded like there was a microwave involved in the cooking of our breakfast.
