This is a go-to spot for my friends and I after the our spin class. The indoor & outdoor seating is first come first serve and it is recommended that you order, get a number & have a seat. The food is really good & my normal order is avocado toast with the chorizo. I prefer a hard boiled egg but they haven’t been able to get the egg right. One time they said they can do hard boiled, next they said they can’t do it & then I asked for over-hard poached egg & it was very runny. The grits are a must! The empanadas are a pass. Overall, this is a great cafe.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE at colina cuervo! We've been here dozens ans dozens of times and can't wait to be back :) It's so cute and comfy. The only thing is it's usually pretty crowded and difficult to get a table so be prepared to take out or wait. It's pretty much self service and alot of people come to hangout on their laptops like Starbucks. There bathroom is nice and clean too. The food is so good and the quality is clear. My one feedback is it's expensive and the portion sizes are really small so be prepared for that. Otherwise it's a great casual spot or for an early morning date :) 😀

A cute cafe that’s become a favorite. It gets quite busy on the weekends if you’re looking to eat in, but there’s a to go counter and their pastries are all delicious for a quick bite. Always some of the best coffee, and highlight food menu items are the tacos (great portion and flavor on both the fried chicken and veggie), the avocado toast, pork hash, and recent favorite… their BLT with avocado. Update. They no longer have the BLT and it was one of my favorites. Sad.

Amazing place for brunch and study. The avocado toast was great. The outer part of the toast had a strong buttered- fried taste but it was good. Horchata latte was good but I think I'll take only horchata next time. I could stay long to write, which means the atmosphere was great. - Second time visiting, the salad was huge and delicious and the corn cake was yum. - Third time visiting, I got hot horchata and carrot cake. They were both nice :) - Fourth time visiting, I tried warm bowl with avocado. I didn't have to add avocado because the portion was huge! - Fifth time, I tried lentil&kale bowl with chorizo! Never disappointed with the portion and taste. It was actually a good combination with chorizo!

I love this place. Great vibes, delicious fresh food and the best guava cheese empanadas in nyc! I've been here a few times now and have not been disappointed once with my order. I've tried the eggplant sandwich (my favorite), grain salad, carrot cake, apple and guava/cheese empanada. Everything is yummy! There is seating outdoors and indoors. I've sat indoors with my laptop to work and most of the time it works out. Sometimes the place can get noisy and distracting. They always have great music- their playlists have been nostalgic, upbeat with diverse genres. The customer service has always been good. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I have come back with family and friends and recommend this gem of a place in the neighborhood. Btw- they have great drinks. I'm not a coffee drinker but friends have raved about their drinks. My teas have been refreshing! Check this place out for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

The coffee and teas are great. Vibe is good and most of the pastries are fantastic. I do not recommend ordering the empanadas, it’s just a 5$ pocket of air with a whisper of filling

The food here is consistently delicious. I truly wish they had a bigger space to accommodate more people. Sometimes I walk past wanting to go in but they’re full to the brim with customers. I’ve tried a few items from their menu and all good. I really enjoyed the pancakes with a side of eggs and bacon with this butter that they have, very hearty meal. Also the bacon was not oily. Hate when restaurants do that. I felt the portion size compared to the price of the breakfast was of good value. Another thing I love is that their menu isn’t long but then again that would lean more towards a diner which this spot is not. Definitely recommend to a friend!

Popular brunch spot on Nostrand Ave. good coffee, love the cappuccino and also regular small coffee is just $1. Brunch was alright, we tried the steak $17 and another dish with potato hash and poached eggs $14. Worth trying once.

I’ve been coming here since 2016, rotating between the three coffee shops on the street (now four). I usually stop by two or three times a week for a coffee and a sandwich, quick in and out, nothing fancy, and I don’t expect emotional labor from service workers. But this morning might have been my last visit. There’s one cashier who has always been rude and cold, and today was just too much. I simply asked about the price difference (about 20 cents) because I thought I had ordered a large coffee — and she cut me off, spoke rudely, and didn’t even say good morning. but from now on I’ll just check through the window, if she’s there, I’ll keep walking. There are plenty of other options on Nostrand between St. Johns and Bergen.

I went here to have breakfast and the cashier/ waitress was quite rude. She barely opened her mouth to greet me. She was quite dry in her tone when she spoke to me but I brushed it off as maybe she wasn’t having a good day. As I went to be seated I heard her voice so nice and pleasant to other customers who entered the establishment. Because of her poor attitude I will never return here. She shouldn’t be picky with who she decides to be respectful to. I was so annoyed I just ate my food and left. Also, this was my second time here and I really enjoyed my food the first time. The waitress/cashier was a chubby bald chick who had such a horrible energy. I will say the food is good but the service from this person was trash!
