What people say

"Nice brunch place with original menu containing Ecuadorian specialties. The atmosphere is quite pleasant and coffee is delicious. Food is nicely presented and tastes good but not exceptional. However I must mention that the waiting time is quite long. Even though we had a reservation and there were several empty tables, we waited for a while to be seated and also for our order to be taken and I also saw a lot of frustrated people waiting for a long time in front of the door to be seated. The person who served us was super nice and polite, he said sorry for the long waiting times and treated us well, which I really appreciate. Overall it was a pleasant experience."
