    Chicken Arepe Sandwich
    Tom G.

    I really like this place, it's very clean and the staff is very accommodating. I ordered the Chicken Arepe sandwich, it was very good with a good amount of fillings. I also ordered a cheese & potato empanada, I really liked how good the crust was cooked to perfection. I finished off my meal with strong coffee and Flan Dulce de Leche, it was delicious, smooth and creamy. I will go back in a heartbeat.

    This is a new spot that I hadn't seen before. What drew me in was the passionfruit juice and boba - two of my favorite things. When I stepped inside, I was greeted with the comforting smell of arepas and a large menu to choose from. The owner, Lili, was working the register, and the other owner was in the back making each meal fresh to order. EVERYTHING is fresh and made in house. All the baked goods (the alfajores, my favorite!) the empanadas, and even the juices made from scratch. Those were the best empanadas I've ever had in my life. They actually change out the frying oil every theee days to preserve freshness. They were so light compared to the usual heaviness of an empanada. They were perfect. And the sauces were divine. My favorite is the chipotle and the garlic sauce mixed together. Many Venezuelan places in the area tend to be "upscale" and therefore cost a pretty penny. This is well made "street-food" and is a nice way to eat food from the motherland without breaking the bank. The atmosphere is perfect. It's a well-lit place to get some work done without the music blaring like many other cafes. There is something for everyone there. I went back the next day and plan to take my family there soon. Buen provecho!

    Came back to try the food and more coffee! The drinks here are very good. This time I tried the horchata latte and an arepa with shredded beef, black beans, and vegetable mix. They have tasty homemade sauces too.

    I loved this place! The empanadas where amazing. The chicken one might have been my favorite and the pabellón a close second. Even the cheese and potato was amazing. I recommend you ask for the tomato sauce for the empanadas. I had the strawberry mango smoothie and it was made with real organic fruit and delicious. My friend had the peanut butter latte and she loved it too. The severs were very nice, attentive and flexible to my needs. I highly recommend it!

    Loved this place, desserts are amazing and the owners very friendly!! 10/10

    Tostones with pork, queso blanco and sweet plantain.  Amazing combo!

    I bumped into this little place while visiting my parents in the city thinking I would just try their coffee. I was so delightfully greeted by one of their owners who took her time to explain her Venezuelan/Columbian menu to me. So I asked her to give me the tostones the way she would eat them and I had to try their carne mechada empanada. Both new things I have never had. I sat at the table and she brought me house sauces from the back not on the menu, I felt like a guest of honor! Nonetheless I had what I like to call a "Ratatouille" moment if you ever watched the film. My taste buds exploded with so much flavor in the pork and the combination of the sweet plantain and fresh queso texture on the crispy tostones. I can stay there eating that all day! The coffee was just a drip coffee but excellent!! I have never had carne mechada so I tried it in the empanada it was also delicious!! I can't remember the last time I had such a "moment" trying new foods and this was it!! Please check it out for yourselves!! I will be driving 50 minutes just to have that moment over and over again!! - Tinley Park girl

What I can't get over is the gentleman sitting every day for hours and hours with his dirty bare feet on chairs that customers sit in. You can see his grimy feet and the slippers he leaves on the floor. It's really gross because when I brought my friends for the first time, there were no tables available except for the one he always uses to put his dirty bare feet on. So we had to sit with his smelly feet as our "neighbor" just a couple feet away. If he's homeless, I have a lot of sympathy for him. But he obviously had sandals which he doesn't use when he puts his feet on chairs, and nobody should be putting bare feet on chairs that people sit on in a cafe anyways. If he's a regular, he should know to respect the cafe, the owners, staff, and patrons better. He also takes up that whole half of the long table by the front so that no customers can sit there. And nobody would want to use that chair he has used for his dirty feet anyways. Please inform him politely it's causing a distraction and is a health hazard. There needs to be some standards at cafes for sanitary reasons even if it's not crowded. It's just pretty gross.

    This is my absolute most favorite bakery. So this is my ode to the bakery and Dom, who is a gem of…read morean employee there. I've been a customer of almost 10 years and have been obsessed since they first opened their doors at a different location. I literally live an hour away without traffic and even longer with traffic, but I make sure to stop by or send someone else to get it for me at least once a month or more. I love the amazing cakes that are so delicious and unique but on top of that, it is Asian owned, LGBTQ supporting, etc. A lot has changed since their little storefront with no seating. The bakery is now a full on cafe and I'm so happy to see how much they've grown and how successful they are. And while it is glorious, I will say I miss the sweet neighborhood charm and great customer service it used to have. Getting in touch with the bakery through phone or text can be tough and to be honest, sometimes one of the people working there is kind of...very mean. It had me questioning if I should keep coming back. I just love this bakery so much though and being raised by parents that had a small food business, I can't help but want to support. I had a particularly difficult last minute request for the bakery a few weeks ago and I was reminded why this place is so great. It had been YEARS since I made this specific request, which was an order for a slice of cake for every flavor and a cupcake for every flavor. This is a BIG and time consuming request, especially if it's last minute. Unfortunately I come to the city whenever the traffic isn't atrocious, so it's always last minute. Dom absolutely pulled through though. Even though there were other employees there (I saw two others but one disappeared and then another male was kind of walking around the cafe and such), Dom took this giant request and fulfilled it himself. The other gentleman (not the mean person previously mentioned) was actually who I made the request to, but he told Dom to do it. I was kind of confused why they didn't do it together but idk, maybe the other guy isn't allowed to handle food? Who knows. Regardless, this request obviously took a long time and the line was getting longer; people were getting a little restless but Dom stayed calm but was swift. I swear he was moving faster than most people in the industry could with a cake knife like that. He was not impatient or rude to me at all. He was just there to do his job as fast and well as possible. It's so rare to see that type of work ethic. He is also so obviously proud of the bakery and the food they serve which makes you feel good about being a patron there. So although I continue to have an unpleasant experience with one particular employee there, Dom keeps my love for this bakery alive. He reminds me of what this bakery was like when they first opened their doors. I hope Dom is cherished there and I bet he is considering his work ethic. I will continue to support this bakery and I recommend everyone else to support as well. It may not be that small little shop anymore but Dom is a reminder of the heart of the place.

For my graduation cake, I chose the tres leches and it was so creamy, moist, and delicious. I basically ate half of the cake by myself lol.

I chose to get the berry chantilly cake slice since it was a hot day, and it was the perfect refreshing treat! It was soooo good.
