Frequently Asked Questions

What style of food is served, and what are the portions like?

Rather than standard cafe fare, the menu focuses on authentic Colombian specialties like arepas (maize flatbreads filled with cheese, choclo, chicken, or chorizo), empanadas, pan de bono, and rice bowls. Note that items like arepas and pastries are served as snacks or light bites rather than oversized meals.

Is the menu suitable for gluten-free or coeliac diets?

Yes, the cafe is exceptionally coeliac-friendly. Because traditional Colombian arepas and dishes are made primarily from maize, most menu items are naturally gluten-free.

Are there sauces or condiments available to customize dishes?

Yes, a salsa station provides house-made condiments—including chimichurri, picadilla, and hot sauce—so you can customize your arepas and bowls to taste.

What is the seating arrangement, and is there outdoor space?

Indoor seating is very compact with just a handful of tables, which fills up quickly on weekend mornings. Additional seating is available outside on a front bench around the garden, though it is unsheltered from sun or rain.
