Great espresso and cakes - we had an orange curry cupcake and it was delightful. And what a nice young man serving us! Thank you, Quilombo

I really cannot say enough good things about this café! My partner and I came because I was craving a specialty coffee and a place to sit, and the first thing we noticed were the pastries. They are absolutely stunning, but we assumed we couldn’t eat any of it because we are vegan and didn’t see a vegan label. Then we saw in reviews that everything is vegano and home made! So we had the banana bread which was just wonderful, filled with chocolate chips and topped with a generous layer of frosting and almonds, and a blueberry, lemon, and lavender cookie, which was out of this world!!! I had a coffee with oat milk that was perfect - the ten cent discount on oat milk was such a nice touch and something we vegans don’t see a lot my partner had the honeybush infusion and also really enjoyed it. We also had a wonderful chat with Hector, the barista, about other vegan restaurants in the area and Salamanca in general. This was a highlight of our trip and we will certainly be back

Lovely little coffee spot with great muffins and cakes. I enjoyed the mandarin muffin with whipped coconut cream on top. Moist tasty and not too sweet. Coffee was ok but a bit disappointing due to the poor milk texturization in my cortado.

Came back to try the espresso. The espresso was well pulled and the flavor was good but not very complex. I could not smell notes of much of anything. The end flavor was balanced and smooth though. Decaf cappuccino was tasty. The art was very good. The flavor was smooth and well balanced. It is a small shop that focuses on coffee which is kind of hard to find in Salamanca. The pastries are tasty as well. Definitely with the effort to get here.
