Super yummy arepas. We enjoyed black beans made with love stuffed inside a maize pocket, almost like a polenta flavour bread. Also liked the mango, avocado and cheese arepa. The service was friendly and cafe very clean.
Friendly and welcoming staff. Kind of small space, so may not be best for working or large groups, but cozy. I ordered an Americano - the cashier said that their standard strength is 2 shots of espresso. I ordered it black and it was delicious, smooth.
Love the Arepas!! Have such cravings sometimes that I'll come all the way from San Pedro. The juice selection is wonderful too and LOVE the Latte, smooth but strong. It's a great little corner there to visit with some small Giftstores across the street always worth a visit!
i was iffy at first by the whole gentrification vibe the place gave off, but wow, this coffee is GREAT! cumbias playing in the back ground (as someone else mentioned, not too loud to concentrate), friendly and helpful staff, and coffee made with love. it has that South American Latino flare to it, o
The arepas are made to order. Two minimum per order. Very tasty! They are small so if you are a big eater order 4. Their Venezuelan soda selection is great. Where else can you say "that Colita looks pretty good!" and get away with it? I hear that their coffee in the am is pretty good.
I wish I didn't have to choose even one star because I wrote a review and it was deleted.. (I hope i am wrong.. and can find it later, for now ill keep posting) so ill keep writing my bad experiences with them so people have a more realistic idea of how this place runs... and if it is deleted again.
Fantastic little gem w/ fresh cuisine and authentic traditional arepas — old school corn bread sandwich from Caracas.
I grew up having arepas almost every day, so it always feels wrong to over spend on such a staple meal. Cafe Bolivar has amazing prices and delicious arepas. It's hard to find quality and affordable Venezuelan food. The staff is friendly and accommodating as well.
