    We just happened to find this place and I’m so glad we did! We had the extra pepperoni pizza and it was top notch. Cooked to perfection! And the service was just as great. We happened to arrive before they opened and they let us in anyways, and immediately took our order. There’s also a nice selection of desserts too and trust me, you don’t want to skip on those either!

    We stopped by a café; the place is small but nicely decorated. They have cakes, pizzas, and empanadas, and it smelled wonderful. The food was good, but I didn't like the hot chocolate; it was bitter and had that awful chocolate flavor I remember from when I was a kid. I think they should serve it in reusable cups for a place like this, unless it's a takeout order.
