Stopped here for some tea and coffee before facing the market. Lovely peaceful cafe with friendly staff and comfortable seats. Coffee and tea was good and beautifully presented.

Good place for coffee. We also got good chocolates from paccari and pacari brands and nuts. The coffee came with soda water and a small sweet cookie. It is not a place for breakfast, but it is definitely a place for coffee

Excellent espresso (double cortado) and the pastel de frutas rojas was really fresh, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The sister cafe in Cotacachi is equally great

The cake is delicious for a great price (2.5). The staff is super nice and helpful and the environment and restroom is very clean. Great locally sourced chocolate as well.

Our favorite coffee shop in Otavalo, and we´ve tried many. Great espresso drinks (they even have to-go cups, unlike many other places here). Strong wifi, delicious omelettes. The vegan granola/fruit/yogurt bowl is my favorite. Also a great place to stock up on bagged coffee (export quality), chocolate, and dried fruit/nuts. They accept credit/debit cards.

Excellent coffee & baristas! They also have a good selection of healthy grains & nuts for sale - amaranth, quinoa, granola, walnuts, almonds, etc. And sustainable fair trade chocolates! The staff is so friendly & makes perfect coffees, oh and cakes! They even know “ristretto”, always a sign of a good coffees place!
