    everything here is super delicious. i normally go for the kale + lentil salad with a poached egg, but opted for the pork hash this time (which was so yummy and filling). the service is also fantastic.

    Chorizo sandwich is your best option <$10 and if you’re feeling like spending some $$$ the plato ecuatoriano (steak and potato cakes) is glorious.

    The espresso (counter culture) was smooth and delicious, and this pork tamale is probably the best I’ve ever had. Moist, packed with flavor, and graced with a subtle piquancy - the perfect amount.

    The kale and lentil salad is my new fav here. It comes with crispy shallots, roasted carrots, pickled onion, and a tomato vinaigrette. Extra good with a poached egg on top.

    The ensalada de la casa is great—filling but also healthy. Add an egg for extra protein, but it doesn't even need it. Get a hibiscus lemonade to go with it.

    So glad to have a spot in the neighborhood serving brunch all day, every day! There's counter service and table service so it's perfect for every situation.

    Great place to eat by yourself. There're a lot of counter and small tables, so probably not great for groups, but good to sit and eat and read. Recommend Horchata latte if you like cinnamon.

    Very chill working vibe here. Windows are large, perfect for people watching. I only stopped in for a short time but the iced coffee and apple cinnamon muffin I had were great.

    The chorizo in the pancake breakfast was delicious! The pancakes were okay, but I wasn't a big fan of their dulce de leche. Their coffee is also very refreshing.

    New favorite brunch spot. The De La Casa salad was fantastic, especially with the avocado scrambled egg sandwich. Lots of food though! Perfect for sharing.

    If they catch you staring at the packages of granola by the register, they might tell you it’s the best granola around. They’re not kidding.

    I’d go here everyday if I lived closer. Maybe I should move. Coffee and food are home runs. Tamales and Avocado were fabulous

    Colina cuervo Best drip coffee I’ve ever had! This lovely Colombian shop serves Counter Culture coffee on drip, as well as pour over. But the drip is bar none and the pricing can’t be beat. No AMEX.

    FYI - WiFi and Laptop usage is only ok after 3:30pm on the weekends. Learned that one the hard way today after I’d already purchased coffee and food. They really ought to have a sign somewhere!!
