    Chicken empanada - good amount of filling!
    Annie T.

    In the overpriced wasteland that is Dumbo (sorry! I just don't need to shop at a Kith or pay $17 for a 6-pack), I was delighted to stumble upon Zaruma while in search of a morning coffee. I was compelled to post here because Zaruma is a HIDDEN GEM tucked within Dumbo Market (the type of overpriced supermarket I speak of above). I sort of wish Zaruma more properly advertised itself as an Ecuadorean cafe, as it wasn't obvious to me until I saw the empanadas sitting in the heater and the alfajores sitting on the counter. Rather, at first glance it appears to be a generic cafe-inside-a-grocery-store, with the requisite croissants in a display case, but instead it is its own unique entity. I chose one of every empanada available (chicken, spinach and cheese, and beef), which were toasty and with little stamps marking the dough indicating what flavor it was (e.g. a doughy "S" for spinach). Most importantly, they were BAKED, whereas NYC is rife with fried Colombian and Venezuelan empanadas which are delish but too heavy for summer. The empanadas are baked in-house and have a wonderfully homemade feel. I also got a medium iced coffee (so good, and cheaper than Starbucks at $4), and multigrain croissant ($2.99, pretty good). I can't wait to go back and try the plantain and pork breakfast plates!! The women behind the counter were also extremely nice.

    chicken empanada: pretty good

    Came here to take a break from walking around the area. Got the Chicken Empanada and Brownie which were both pretty good. Cafe is located inside Dumbo Market.

    Chai Latte with Oatmilk

    Was looking for some coffee and a spot to rest and into this super cute coffee shop inside the Dumbo Market. Loved the vibe, the Chai Latte, the dessert options and the quick snacks! The service was top of the line, gentlemen were nice, friendly & helpful!! I will definitely be turning and will be highly recommending this business!

    Super nice and welcoming. The coffee wasn't my thing, but it was still good. I just had a preference for Butler Bake Shop's Intelligentsia Cold Brew. The cold brew has here a subtle depth to it which I appreciate.

    I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

    The shop was nice and clean and it wasn't too busy when we stopped by…read more I ordered the tiramisu einspänner, which was exactly what it sounded like a generous dollop of tiramisu on top of an einspänner latte. While it was a fun and unique drink, I probably should have opted for something else. The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

    I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
