    I called to make a reservation for dinner on a Saturday evening and was told that I didnt need one. Now I know why. The restaurant was empty except for 1 family table of 8 with loud children. Of course the manager/owner (gentleman in his 40's) took 2 menus and guided us to a small 2 top right onto of the loud family table. We kindly said thank you but we would prefer to sit at the bar which was also empty. As the gentleman walked behind us, he loudly said to the server that "These people don't want to sit next to the other people". We found that to be pretty rude so we canceled our drink order and quietly left the restaurant. We figured that if it started out that bad and there was barely anyone dining on a Saturday night, we would be smart to go somewhere else. (Which we did). The food on the menu looked good but I was also hesitant when 90% of the restaurant pictures on Yelp were not taken by patrons, but by the marketers for the restaurant. The decor inside was very pretty and it looked welcoming, but it just wasn't. I do hope that they work on their customer service in the future.

    If You Don't Like This Place, Check Your Taste Buds -- They Might Be Broken! Okay, I saw a couple of reviews from David Ramos and Gean Austin complaining about the food and service here, and honestly... I think those two must have accidentally walked into a parking lot instead of this restaurant. Because what we experienced was the complete opposite of whatever parallel universe they were dining in. Let me break it down for the people in the back I ordered the Paisa Bowl, my wife went with the Cachapa de Pabellón, and we kicked things off with the Chicharrones appetizer. And let me tell you something -- it was so good I almost proposed to the chef. The flavor, the presentation, the seasoning -- out of this world! The service? Second to none. We got greeted with a smile, seated right away, and within about 3 minutes -- yes, I timed it -- someone was at our table ready to take our order. And this wasn't some jam-packed dinner rush, either -- the restaurant was at almost zero capacity. That means they didn't just treat us well because they were busy; they treated us well because that's how they roll. Special shoutout to Francisco, our server, who deserves a raise, a trophy, and maybe his own fan club. The man was smooth, funny, and on top of everything. By the time we finished, I was full, happy, and wondering if I could legally adopt him as part of the family. So David and Gean -- no offense, but maybe your food arrived before your mood improved, because our experience was perfection. If great food, amazing service, and good vibes offend you... this probably isn't your kind of place. For the rest of us who actually enjoy life -- run, don't walk!

    I was very reluctant to come to Luka's due to the mixed reviews; however, I wanted to check it out for myself. Ambiance: a very modern, calm vibe, definitely has a brunch feel to it. Bossa nova music is a nice touch. Very impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms; honestly, I felt very comfortable changing my baby there. Food Blackberry juice with milk: very rich, tasty, very refreshing. The milk definitely complements the juice nicely without overpowering it, striking the right balance of fruity and creamy flavor. Lentil soup: very well done, super hearty, they were not selfish with the beans. I love that they added a bit of shredded pork, which gave it a nice kick of flavor and texture. I recommend. Latin Luka: my God, this was such a great burger. I was really worried because, since this burger comes with chicharrón, I thought the pork in it would overpower the burger itself. However, it only added flavor. Not to mention, the house sauce with a dash of lime gave it this unique flavor that really had me in a bind. Service: our waiter Francisco was such a delight. He gave us great insight on each of the menu items we asked about, which is another thing I appreciate. Hospitality is something I value greatly in waiters. He was very attentive to us and made sure our experience was an unforgettable one. I will be returning to try more of their wonderful menu.

    Caramel sundae (flan and ice cream!)
    Ilene F.

    I am starting with dessert. Whoever decided that flan should be served on top of ice cream is just plain wicked! It was one of the best desserts I have ever had. It wasn't crazy sweet and the flan was amazing on its own. Okay. Now I am ready to start my review. We have been in the plaza many times and kept thinking we needed to try Luka, but we have ended up at Marian's because we were insane. Today we specifically went with Luka's on our mind. We started with the mini empanadas. They were so delicious and loaded with filling. I had a cachapas with steak. It was so good! My husband had the picana and loved it. We got plantains, fried yucca & avocado on the side. The fried yucca was so good. Who am I kidding everything was so good. Dessert was amazing...but you already know how I feel about that. Why 4 stars? They have a full bar...why soda by the can?

    Food: Desayuno Criollo: Shredded Beef, Scrambled Eggs with Tomato and Onion, Grilled Arepa, Black Beans, Shredded White Cheese and Sweet Plantains. Kids American Breakfast, Freshly squeezed orange juice and American coffee with a side of hot Oat Milk. The service was Amazing, from the hostess to the server and the bussed as well everyone was friendly and very helpful. The ambiance was very pleasant as well everything was clean and I will definitely be sharing this restaurant as a recommendation for my friends and family to visit.

    Classic Cachapa
    Patrick D.

    I truly enjoyed a breakfast on a Friday morning. Plenty of parking available and there was only a couple of us inside. My server was very nice and attentive to my needs. The food not only looked very good but tasted the same. Inside has nice decor and good lighting. I would have given 5 stars but there's a 18% charge that I didn't see that is required to pay with the bill. Optional tipping is not available.

    Jacki P.

    I love the food and drinks. The ambiance was 3.75. The service was kind of strange, because I am not Hispanic or Latina by simply looking at me., but they were straight out just speaking Spanish to me, and that was strange, and every time my server came back I had to reply back with the fact that I do not speak Spanish. All and all, I liked it. If anyone's looking for modern Colombian, Venezuelan + Cuban, I think this is a cute spot to try.

    Wow! My friend, Gina, suggested this place as a last minute get together and she, her husband, Mike, my husband, Chuck and myself dined here for dinner. It was our first time. There was a singer there that night and although Mike thought she was kinda loud (we could hardly hear each other) I thought she was very talented and enjoyed her choices in her repertoire of music. Nicholas was our waiter and he explained a lot to us for the evening. I chose one of his suggestions and enjoyed white rice, fried egg, steak, red onions and fries. It was really, really good! And my husband got a burger, the man that he is, but he really liked that they had Coke Zero (a lot of places we dine at don't offer Coke Zero). Gina and Mike shared steak and arepas and plantains with cheese. It was a delightful evening and I love that we chose something different - something that is not the norm for us. I'd like to come back and chose other things from South America and enjoy that experience. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone!

    2 chocolate and 1 coffee
    Harold D.

    Came Sunday 2pm not too busy, great front door host very warm welcoming. Great energy. The place always look so tidy and clean. Bathroom were also very clean. We started with birria tacos as appetizers, can I say 10 out of ten for flavor and presentation. My daughter said she almost wanted to cancel her meal and order those tacos as her entree. We also ordered cafe con leche( asked for it strong, it was def strong), also got hot chocolate, both were just right. For our entree I got lunch special, Shrimp tacos(3 tacos) , has chipotle sauce, onions tomatoes and cabbage, very tasty but not $18 tasty( maybe $12 ). My daughter got hamburger, again was very good came with amazing fries( so good you don't need ketchup). Live coming here to try other things on menu. Never disappoints in flavor.

    Carne asada Cachapas...so good!
    Bryan B.

    Amazing food. The servers there are so nice and go above and beyond for you. Love the vibes, played some good music but not overly loud.

    Iced almond milk vanilla latte
    Chad S.

    Stopped in for lunch with some coworkers after one of them made a recommendation. It's was just after 12pm and the place was busy. We were immediately greeted and sat at a nice four top table. The inside was nice and modern with a full liquor bar. I had the Paisa Bowl that came loaded with steak, chorizo, chicharron, sweet plantains, avocado, rice, an arepa, red beans, and a fried egg on top. The food was excellent along with the service Carlos provided. I also ordered a vanilla almond milk iced latte that was perfection. The food is a little pricey for lunch, but it's so good that I will definitely be dining here again!

    Checking out the new neighbourhood we stumbled on a little gem. Reminiscent of Boca one of our favourite restaurants in Miami we had lunch in Luka's . The service was great and the food very good. Maybe the tequenos needed a little more heat but the flavour was good. They gave us free mimosas and a little pouch of coffee as they are commemorating two years of opening this location. They have outdoor dining so perfect if we bring our puppies. We are thrilled and am sure this will become our favourite weekend brunch spot. Check out the photos. Thank you Luka's team.

I love the charming vibe on the inside with the lights and the wood paneling. They have a sign on the wall that talks about their loud music and awesome coffee, and I am completely here for it. Both things were true; their music selection was amazing as was the iced cherry almond latte that I tried. Staff was friendly and warm. I asked them to choose my drink because I was feeling very indecisive and I have no regrets! I cannot believe this little gem has been sitting right here and I'm only now discovering it.

Today, I had some time between appointments and decided to finally sit down, relax, and grab something to eat along with my coffee fix. I ordered a croissant and a cafe con leche. Even though it was busy around midday, I was able to find a cozy table. My light meal was brought out to me, and I enjoyed every bite of the perfectly made croissant while sipping on my requested extra hot coffee. As people came and went, I found myself admiring the decor and the friendliness of the staff. The whole place feels cozy, hip, and welcoming. Before leaving, I decided I wasn't done yet and ordered a cortada (hopefully I'm spelling that right). I waited by the counter, but the lady kindly told me she would bring it to my table, even though I didn't mind waiting. It was divine as always. Even the unique little glass cup with its interesting handle stood out to me, and yes, once again, the coffee was perfectly extra hot just the way I like it. I truly enjoyed my alone time there. It can get a little noisy, but honestly, once you settle into your own little zone, you barely notice. I'm off for the week, so I'll probably end up back here again in a couple of days since I'll be in the area. All in all, Ella Cafe is a must try coffee shop experience. Great service, great coffee, delicious food, and an inviting atmosphere. I've also had their salads and sandwiches in the past, and they never disappoint.

They do have a wide variety of coffee flavors as well as signature and seasonal coffees/lattes they seem to have on rotation.

    The Wild Mug Coffee Bar…read more It was a pleasant surprise and my fiancee and I really enjoyed the time we spent at this cafe. Today, we ordered the Iced Caramel Macchiato, Iced Cinnamon Roll Latte, Spicy Beef Empanada, and their Key lime Pie. The coffees were good, but in my opinion, their pastries and snacks tasted better and left a bigger impression on me. The coffee flavors, I felt like I can find them elsewhere but the key lime pie was nice- just sweet enough and right level of tartness. The spicy beef empanada was nice too or maybe I was just hungry. You make sure to try it and let me know if it was really good or no. They offer indoor and outdoor seating but are both limited so get there at the right time or be ready for Togo. The interior is cleanly decorated and they seem to have put in a lot of time hand writing out the special menu and seasonal items. Yes I would recommend this place to others. Yes I would definitely visit the Wild Mug Coffee Bar again.

The cafe is only two months old in the Cypress Creek Station shooping plaza, but heard the chatter on social media and had to drive a slight distance to also be part of the experience. A temporary simplistic Drip Coffee sign is affixed to the exterior of the business. Upon entering, the buzz of this cafe was accurate. The establishment spewed an ultra industrial modern intimate vibe with gray polished stone flooring with an open ceiling exposing the metal rafters and a/c tubing, accented by dark green ferns on the walls and tables. The laughter from five girls at a back table echoed throughout the cafe, which was a good start. The barista was chatty and all smiles while she took my order quickly with no hiccups. The Guatemalan dark roast espresso beans are sourced from PumpHouse Coffee in WPB. It was presented in a mini cup with the Drip Coffee logo imprint - this is such a simple inexpensive marketing tool that most cafes do not take advantage of. This is another cafe with a cashless tranaction process. Understandably, tipping is digital, but at the least there should be a tip jar as an option for cash. Found sanctuary at a table with a semi comfortable low stool. The Guatemalan coffee was strong and cut it with a shot of heavy cream. Usually I consume medium roast coffee, although this mimicked a few strong Austrian blends and was sublime and appreciated. The gender neutral bathroom screamed "WoW Impressive"! Instantly I pondered, the owners took their artistic vision to another level. Spotless, spotless, spotless, more greenery with thin wooden slats covering the ceiling and the low lit led hollow rough rock mirror hovered above the gray square deep sink. Washing my hands were more of a delight than a necessity. "Clean Bathroom = Clean Kitchen". No doubt that I will return to this eatery. Great coffee and a wonderful experience.
