i was iffy at first by the whole gentrification vibe the place gave off, but wow, this coffee is GREAT! cumbias playing in the back ground (as someone else mentioned, not too loud to concentrate), friendly and helpful staff, and coffee made with love. it has that South American Latino flare to it, offering cafe cortado and arepas. definitely stopping by again!
I love the use of the paper cups and even recyclable cartoon lids for the coffee. We adore the arepas. Our favorite probably is the chicken salad arepa.Bolivar also rents space out to Jyan to sell bread. It seems popular.Employees are still wearing masks as of march 2022. The occasional nose might peak out though. Covid19 precautions were in place with only a minority of customers.
Love the Arepas!! Have such cravings sometimes that I'll come all the way from San Pedro. The juice selection is wonderful too and LOVE the Latte, smooth but strong. It's a great little corner there to visit with some small Giftstores across the street always worth a visit!
I wish I didn't have to choose even one star because I wrote a review and it was deleted.. (I hope i am wrong.. and can find it later, for now ill keep posting) so ill keep writing my bad experiences with them so people have a more realistic idea of how this place runs... and if it is deleted again.. I'll just keep reposting until my comment stays there for good.When I stopped by last time, I wasn't greeted, I wasn't even acknowledged until the servers were done preparing other customers food orders, waiting time was pretty bad considering I came in only for a small coffee.. and when I stopped by, it wasn't busy at all.. anywho...when you get your coffee, do Not put the lid on it, unless you want a paper taste in your mouth from it.I'm hoping it won't be the same next time because ill need to stop supporting this local Cafe, which would be a shame.
Friendly and welcoming staff. Kind of small space, so may not be best for working or large groups, but cozy. I ordered an Americano - the cashier said that their standard strength is 2 shots of espresso. I ordered it black and it was delicious, smooth.
Solid cafe with well made drinks and juices. The tea lattes are so good!
Amazing local spot! Coffee, juices and food are delicious. Great atmosphere too!
Best arepas in LA!!! As a Venezuelan ?? who has been in the USA for 21 years, it’s refreshing to have an authentic, delicious ? arepa, oh and the chimichurri is the absolute best! Highly recommended, the owner is also a great humble person. Definitely will be a regular client of this place!!
Very nice clean place to have a coffee and bread
Friendly customer service. Nice atmosphere and the Arepas are delicious.
