Small, plain and simple this is an out of the way treat with cheap eats in Monserrat. Photo by Clare Nisbet
At first glance this delightful little café could easily pass you by, though you shouldn't let it. The décor is relatively nondescript with plain tables and chairs and it is a very small space. However, the exposed brick walls and bright red bar keep things interesting. The menu is short but everything offered is delicious and cheap.
The delightful staff makes a mean cup of coffee and tasty meals include tartas (savory quiche) with a variety of flavors or the usual run of sandwiches, hamburgers, and short order eggs, etc. at great prices with some vegetarian options. Various sweet treats or cositas dulces make it a tempting location for late afternoon tea. Plenty of regional wines are also on offer at great prices. You will leave feeling that a few pesos were well spent. The fact that the staff is so welcoming, the coffee is so tasty, and the WiFi is FREE makes this a perfect place to post up and email home, reminding everyone why Buenos Aires, particularly Monserrat, is worth a visit.
