The best hot chocolate I have ever tasted with 65% cacao. Also incredible coffee in a business that takes care of every step from bean to cup. We had wonderful service from Augustino who knew all the details and showed so much care. Thoroughly recommend this coffee shop, it's coffee beans, hot chocolate and it's service.

Small space with tasty coffee! Ordered a regular black coffee to-go which was delicious. The person who served me was also very nice.

Amazing LOCAL coffee. Cafe Guayasamín is the epitome of what an amazing coffee experience should be. Not like the other Coffee shop on the corner which I won’t name. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES.

A hole in the wall that exceeds all your expectations. Never thought it would be so awesome. The chocolate they use is delicious and the attention and speed of service is one of the best. While they may have only one table outside, you will never go to a Sweet & Coffee or a Juan Valdez ever again! Thank you for the wonderful experience. Tip: Try the Frappe Mocha if you like coffee and chocolate blended to perfection wit the exact proportion of ice! <3 <3
