Had a really lovely dining experience at this spot in College Point. From the moment we arrived, Juan made us feel genuinely welcome and provided warm, attentive service throughout the meal. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the arugula salad that came with the sandwich was honestly a standout on its own. The chicken sandwich was also excellent — well prepared, satisfying, and full of flavor without feeling too heavy. The atmosphere felt comfortable and relaxed, making it easy to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. Everything about the visit felt thoughtful and consistent from start to finish. Definitely a place we look forward to coming back to again.

While looking for a coffee spot, we discovered this gem in College Point. 🤩<br>The space is beautiful, and the decor makes you feel right at home🇨🇴.<br>They have a very interesting and delicious way of serving Colombian desserts. The waiter was also very kind and gave us excellent service.
We had the most delightful dining experience at this restaurant in College Point. We were welcomed and served very warmly by Juan and the food was delicious especially the arugula salad that came with the sandwich and the chicken sandwich itself was wonderful. We will definitely be going back again and again.
I saw the migas on tik tok. Did not disappoint, I am full and I like the presentation. We were attended by Elber and Lila, they are very nice. Sorry I don’t have a better pic.
Juan gave us a stellar service the late with lavender was a delight and the Montecristo was ridiculously delicious recommend the dr Mario coffee shop
So good, we went for a late meal and so glad to have stumbled across this place. We got there around 10 pm, was seated right way. The place was super clean warm with good music not so loud and not too low. The menu is electronic, the waiter was awesome. We stared with the Sopa de pollo con crema, which my husband loved, I got the tostones with guacamole was fresh and lemony. Speaking of lemon the coconut lemon drink is a must. I also got cheese arepa and tried for the first time Mazamorr. Vegetarian and Vegan options
Elbert, was our waiter and he went above and beyond for my family. We were visiting New York to celebrate a family member, and this was such a treat for our first day visiting.<br><br>He was very patient with our elders, and help them feel at home.<br><br>The menus are iPads and they offer both English and Spanish options which our mixed language family appreciated.<br><br>We got the meat platter and four people could not finish it. I think we still had over half to take home. It was so delicious and the arepas were easily some of the best I’ve ever tasted. They’re a little bit more rounder than what I normally have, but I love the airy texture and crispness.<br><br>Service was top notch, Elbert once again was wonderful and such a trooper. Thank you again for making my grandaunt’s celebration so special! The birthday singing and treat was a lovely surprise!
The experience was great! The costumer service was incredible with Juan being very attentive and welcoming. The dishes were great and the house dessert was excellent.
New gem in college point. Starting off with the atmosphere, the place is stunning, I felt like I was back home. The staff was kind and helpful with suggestions. The food was delicious! Overall, my new favorite spot. 10/10!
