One of our favorite spots nearby for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Prices might be high, but it’s definitely worth it! I’ve had some of the best Venezuelan food and this is one of the places that absolutely kills it! You will not be disappointed, the staff is also so friendly and they leave out a little dog bowl of water which my dog loves when we walk by

This is a fantastic spot for breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon coffee and snack. Their lattes and pastries are delicious. It is the main hub of the Highlands area and always has locals hanging out. We love "The Q"! My only (minor) complaint is that they started to put a stamped logo on their paper cups last year. The ink inevitably gets on my hand no matter how much i try to avoid it. I wish they would use mugs for non-takeout orders and stop putting the stamps on takeout coffee. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options with the chia seed pudding, smoothies, etc. Breakfast and lunch main menus each have a couple vegetarian entrees that are excellent

I always stop by here when I’m visiting my son; the food is very good, but the coffee is EXCELLENT! I would put warmer color temp bulbs in the light fixtures.

Incredible food. I get the Venezuelan Benedict and a side of tostones almost every time I stop by. It never disappoints! Birria tacos are also amazing.

Have ordered from here multiple times throughout the pandemic but finally got to visit in person. Cute cafe vibe rather than a restaurant! My coffee was good. For food, I highly recommend the arepas (like with sweet plantains), cachapa con queso (which has the best cheese and sweet corn flavor like I cannot explain how freakin good it is), and yucca fries with the dip. It's a lil cramped inside and so we had to wait a bit after ordering for a regular table to clear, although they do have a bar-like seating too.

Great spot for breakfast/lunch, warm beverages, and pastries. The breakfast empanadas were delicious and my torta was spot on. The hot chocolate was a little small but very tasty. We ordered a muffin and a pastry to-go so we could enjoy more later!

Great arepas. Great dishes. The pastries are also very good. For what it is this place is super pricey. $53 for two meals and a pastry item
