“ One of the best coffee experience in Cali, so much art, jazz and relaxed experience. Recommended! ”
“ I could have sat in this cafe for hours! It was so chill and good quality coffee. ”
“ Great overall. Amazing food their vegetarian burger was incredible good options for vegetarians. They could definitely make it a vegan option if you take out the cheese but I’m not sure if their bread contains eggs or milk or butter. There are dairy free milk options upon request but they ran out by the time we ordered. The service was pretty good but sometimes hard to catch the servers attention especially during the busy lunch hours. We waited a little too long for the desserts. ”
“ The cutest little spot, nice staff, delicious coffee so we came back for lunch which was also delicious! ”
“ This place has so much charm and is perfect to sit and chill for a bit. My partner was really craving a speciality coffee however we were both a little disappointed with the taste. Their cakes / sweets are delicious though. The space is big and I would recommend to still book for a weekend breakfast / brunch ”
“ Came here while visiting Cali and it was absolutely charming. For those who don't know what Macondo is, it's a fictional town described in One Hundred Years of Solitude , written by Colombian Nobel Peace Prize winner (literature) , Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I had an almond milk cappuccino and the remedios cake which was delightful. The vibe was super cute and laid back. Def recommend for an afternoon delight. ”
