Cafetería muy concurrida y muy bien ubicada, es pequeña pero el ambiente es agradable. Su menú es corto pero rico. Hay café caliente y frío. Panes, sandwich y desayunos más completos. Abajo les dejo las fotos del menú. Aunque fuí el domingo no me tocó esperar, tomaron la orden y sirvieron en tiempo. El sabor del café es rico y el de los alimentos también. Al personal le hace falta ser más amable y sonriente. Definitivamente lo recomiendo.

Es un lugar muy bonito, la comida es muy buena, la atención excelente... el menú tiene variedad y en sus comidas se incluyen platillos ideales para personas que están haciendo dieta... el lugar es un poco pequeño y tiene mucha demanda...

Un lugar excelente para disfrutar del mejor café cultivado en las montañas medias del nor- este de Esquipulas; con sabor, cuerpo y aroma único cada mes del año

La mejor cafetería de esquipulas, ubicada frente al parque plaza de la marimba, ofrece un excelente café, tiene diferentes métodos para los paladares más exigentes. Tuestan su café ahí mismo lo que hace la experiencia mas inmersa en el mundo del café. Mi única observación sería que los vasos de café para llevar cambiaron, antes eran más " dobles" y no quemaba al agarrar el vaso.

Cute little place in a quiet and relaxing area of Esquipulas. Affordable prices, excelent service and nice decor (old houses construction) with a nice view. They even have roasted macadamia nuts . Thanks for the information of the places to visit in Esquipulas and the surrounding area of the coffee shop Don Nicolas.
