The BEST empanadas in London. Nothing comes remotely close, get the beef empanadas with their dip. Honestly the best. Great coffee too

Always have a lovely time. The pandebonos and buñuelos are best in the morning, fresh out the oven. The hot chocolate is spiced which if you've never tried, you must!

A morning Cappuccino and a bag load of warm cheese buns. Can't be better than this! They are so good. Tried coffee today and I have to say it's a good cup of coffee to go!

Great little family run shop. Nothing better than their empanadas with any of the sauces. But the green chilly is another story!!!!!
