This charming bar and café, which also serves delicious brunch, is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood! The staff are warm and friendly, using La Cabra beans—one of the Top 10 Roasters worldwide—making every sip special. Their Eggs Benedict are incredibly tasty! Definitely worth giving this spot a try.
Lovely little bar with an intimate vibe. They've got music playing but it's not so loud that you can't talk. I got a Jack Rose (which is not always easy to find, even in cocktail bars) and it was delicious. My friend got a mocktail that was also really good. We got some fries and they were great. Will definitely be returning frequently.
Went here for cocktails and had a great time. Sat at the bar and listened to music, had some tasty drinks. Romantic lighting and intimate feel. Great spot for a date.
I’ve been a frequent visitor for a couple of years, and this cocktail bar has never failed to impress. It’s been amazing to watch it grow along with the neighborhood, and it truly feels like a home away from home. The cocktails are fantastic—both creative and classic. I love that they can make the timeless drinks I enjoy (which many bars can’t!). They also offer tasty light bites that pair perfectly with the drinks. Huge shout-out to Carlos and the entire team! They’re incredibly hospitable, and their attentive service makes every visit special. My partner and I are always treated warmly. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with stylish décor that’s perfect for date nights. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great drinks, great service, and a welcoming vibe!
We booked the back room for a birthday party and couldn't have been happier with the experience. The communication before the even was super fast and attentive to our preferences; all the food we ordered was fantastic, especially the boquerones; and the service throughout the night was perfect and the staff extremely kind. We had great night!
everything beautiful- staff was incredible, kind, welcoming, spectacular, and willing to work with us…… the dirty martini however, were not up to par with the amazing service. as a food critic (and martini connoisseur), i am saddened to leave this review. Although made me quite drunk, did not leave a good taste in my mouth. a tad sweet, not enough brine. although !!! they were incredibly kind and willing to remake the drink and improved upon request. beautiful. i love everyone. ❤️
Wanted to try the Mexican restaurant next door but we were too late, they referred us here which was great. I had the Lobster roll which was absolutely delicious. Nice vibe, great service and I'm looking forward to returning. I'm actually glad we were too late for the restaurant!
