"A Hidden Gem for Comfort Food Lovers I stopped by this charming little café with my son on a Saturday, and we were in for a real treat. While they usually serve a solid selection of paninis, cornbread, sandwiches, and great coffee during the week, Saturdays are extra special. That’s when they offer a Colombian homemade special meal — we had the most amazing soup, served with a warm cornbread on the side. You could taste the love in every bite. It’s a family-owned and run spot, and that warmth shines through in both the food and the atmosphere. If you're looking for a cozy, welcoming place with real comfort food, this is the place to go."

"The Cafe is small but led by big hearted ladies! The greatings were warm and you made feel very welcome. Coffee was delicious. The gluten free options on the menu were great opportunity for me to try Colombian delicacies all homemade. The prices are very resonable despite is just round a corner from King's Cross Station. Do yourself a favour and if like myself you love food and different cuisines visit the place. There is also vast choice of sandwiches and tasty smoothies. I will see you next time I'm in London!"

"Had such a cozy and pleasant time here I had to leave a review. For London prices and such a fresh and buttery sweet croissant, £1.80 eat in is unheard of. I got my cortado super fast and the empanada was so delicious - they asked if I wanted spicy sauce and it was the cherry on top. Sat outside on a sunny spring day and was so delighted to see how many friendly faces came in. The staff are just incredible. They are so warm and welcoming to everyone, always share a small and exchange plenty of conversations with so many regulars. Really haven't felt the community in a coffee shop for a while. I will definitely be back!! Muchísimas gracias"
