Came across this cafe as my friend and I went walking during lunch. I got pretty warm on our walk so I had a perfect excuse to try their mushroom matcha latte. It was delicious and the service was friendly.
Empanadas with great flavor. I've tried the beef and carna picada and both are great but I looveed the carna picada. I'll be back to try the other flavors. Go now!
Small place but very solid empanadas. Ordered the chicken, regular beef, carne picada, and spinach. Overall very good flavors, good amount of filling, and not greasy. Friendly service as well. Only thing lacking was the chimichurri sauce--a bit too oily and not enough garlic for my liking.
Stumbled upon this Argentinian empanada spot on a walk from Caltrain and it was fantastic. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Such a large variety on empanadas with 16 different kinds. - Savory, meaty, veggie, vegan and sweet options. - Pastry is thick enough to hold in the fillings but crusty and delicate to be a delicious casing. - Chorizo was like a breakfast burrito in an empanada. So flavorful. 5 stars - Also has coffees and few other drinks - Lady who helped us was great and warned ones we were eating right away and gave us another back for our take home ones. Lowlights: - Pretty empty on a weekday so hope it gets more business Super excited about this random find and I'll be back!
The Empanadas are delicious, but their " refresher" drinks are not. disappointed that the drink i got was more water than flavor. 5 stars for the food, but i would not suggest at all, the refresher line of drinks.
Was searching for a place to get a good coffee and not Starbucks or any other chain location and this one popped up. Very small quaint spot located a few blocks from the baseball stadium. When I came in I thought I would order coffee but a drink called London Fog caught my eye. The server explained what it was and I thought I would go for it. I'm glad I did! Amazing drink with Earl Gray, milk and Carmel. Whew can't go wrong. The inside is small with just two table and a bar facing the street with 4 seats. Most people came in and got their orders to go. Pricing reasonable (London fog was $3.50). Service 10/10.
The chagaccino was surprisingly very good. Cute Argentinian coffee shop. Good coffee selections and a variety of pastries and empanadas. Got coffee here on our way to Oracle park. The staff was very friendly and provided a good recommendation. Super convenient location and will be going back.
Nice quaint cafe with lots of empanada options. The empanadas were good and loved that they had a lot of vegan options. There is some seating inside and it was free when I went on a weekend. I got an iced latte and it was yummy too.
I decided to stop in here randomly and boy am I glad I did!!!! I came by around 8am and got served immediately. I was looking for some breakfast and coffee and this was perfect. The girl behind the counter was so sweet and happy to help. I got a large cafe con leche and 2 empanadas, one chicken and one ham and cheese and then the dulce de leche bar for later because it looked amazing The chimichurri sauce that came with it was icing on the cake. These empanadas were to die for and just delicious. Whatever cheese was in the ham cheese was great and the chicken was seasoned to perfection The dulce de leche bar was also just pure decadence. This place you cannot miss and it is so reasonably priced. A must stop!!
Craved for empanadas and found this on Yelp. Tried different empanadas and tea to take home. I was impressed by the variety of empanadas. And oh, there's a small container of delicious chimichurri sauce which is so amazing! Love my orders yesterday that I had some delivered today! I love the Mushroom Empanada, it was cooked to perfection! I tried the following empanadas: Spinach, Spicy Italian Sausage ( Vegan), Soyrizo, Carne Picada and Ham & Cheese. They were all delicious! It was tasty and filling! I think it is reasonably priced versus the one I bought at another store last Sunday at $8 a piece. Kudos to Robert who served me yesterday, thank you so much!
