Muy rico el café, pero mejor la experiencia, me pedí un expreso y me dieron un reloj de arena y yo mismo filtré el café. Un linda experiencia.

Una pequeña cafetería cerca del Parque Sucre con muy buen café. El caballero que trabajaba temprano en la mañana era amable y atento. Quinta Dorado Café fue un buen hallazgo dado que la mayoría de los lugares todavía estaban cerrados a las 9 am. A small café near Parque Sucre with really good coffee. The gentleman who was working in the early morning was friendly and attentive. Quinta Dorado Cafe was a good find given that most places were still closed at 9am.

Good food, super cheap. I don’t know why Google Maps says 2 euro signs. Breakfast is $3.50 including coffee.
