- I don't understand the hype around this place
I'm going to start with the positives. This place is in a very good location. Now that's over with, I'll move onto the negatives. First of all, their prices are obscene. I understand that it's Miraflores and the rent isn't exactly low, but even compared to other small vegan businesses in the area, their prices are almost laughable. Our 3/4 of a waffle with some fruit and sauce was 27 soles, an alfajor the size of a two pound coin was 7 soles and a pot of tea 12. And for those prices, I expect great things. I've heard and read very good reviews about this place so expectations were raised even more. The food fell short of any and all expectations. The alfajor was minuscule and didn't resemble an actual alfajor in any way, shape or form. The tea was fine but it's pretty hard to go wrong with a pot of tea. What disappointed us most of all was the waffle. It came in two flavour, one that tasted like bitter orange and the other vaguely resembling chocolate. It was topped with a chocolate sauce (despite being ordered with ice cream), which wasn't sweet and tasted more like coffee than chocolate and was chalky at best. On the side we got some fruit, marmalade and miel de chancaca. Again can't go wrong with those but I'm not inclined to pay that much for a pot of fruit with some jam and syrup. Maybe the rest of the menu has better things but I won't be going back any time soon to try it out.
