Lindo lugar en tumbaco. Además de un muy buen café, muy ricas empanadas y un ambiente acogedor; se pueden encontrar muy buenos productos. Agroecologicos y/o orgánicos. Además constantemente organizan eventos como conciertos o exposiciones.

Acogedor y tranquilo lugar con un ambiente hogareño y sencillo. Ideal para tomarse un café, o leer calmadamente en la tarde y disfrutar de unas ricas empanadas chilenas recién horneadas.
