“ This place is not on the main street but definitely worth the detour! This is hands down the absolute best cafe in Bariloche We tried the El Barco blend and the Italiano both were delicious and masterfully brewed The Jamon e queso today was perfect. The fruit tart was creamy yet light and fresh. ”
“ Big surprise going to this place, amazing coffee, great staff, and very nice food. Hardly recommended! Coffee quality is very very high, they know what they're doing ”
“ Have you ever heard the phrase..."location , location, Location?" Well this place is nothing about that. There is not a good view, always hard to find a parking space and not big either. But, if you are in Bariloche, odds are you will not find a better coffee around. They make their brands, toast it, they play with coffee knowledgeably (that word does not exist but you understand it) and the results are always amazing. Creamier coffee out there by far. The rest, does not go out of tune and is pretty much standard. Pastries and cakes are all very much alike In Barloche, so dont expect much on those items. Staff are friendly, they know their game and the place is always busy and buzzing with people and good energy. I find it to be always a good pit stop. ”
