Cafe Buenos Aires

Swung by to nibble on some empanadas and enjoy a cafe con leche for breakfast. They were visibly short staffed the morning I strolled in, but the hustle of the staff was absolutley apparent. I placed my order online so they could continue to focus on churning out orders. Apologies were profusely offered for the impending wait for food and coffee, but I wasn't in the least bit bothered as it offered an opportunity to enjoy their space and the heavenly smells whilst reading a book. The mushroom empanada with chimi was divine and reminiscent of empanadas made for me by my Argentinian brother in law and his family. Will definitely come back to try out some different savory empanadas and hope that the apricot pastry is back in stock!!

Found this place on Caviar and was curious to try it, and it was disappointing. The ham & cheese empanada barely had any filling (see photo of what’s on Caviar and what I received) and it felt like I was eating a bunch of dough. I hope this was a genuine mistake and that they are not serving this to all customers. For $6, this has to be one of the most overpriced empanadas.

Amazing empanadas. Better than a lot of the empanadas I had in Argentina. These are much larger than Argentinian empanadas and the dough is much better than anything I could find in Buenos Aires. I highly recommend the beef and the mushroom empanadas. Chicken was good But the other two are better unless you don't eat beef or mushroom and cheese. Also you absolutely have to get the chocolate croissant they make using Mexican chocolate and a coffee with it.
