Café Del Zaguan is praised for its excellent, strong coffee and delicious desserts, creating a cozy atmosphere with friendly service. While many enjoy the food and ambiance, some reviews mention inconsistent operating hours and the absence of alcoholic beverages. The recent expansion of the dining area has been well-received.
"The food, the atmosphere and the service are excellent with the exception of an employee named Nicole, on the day that the restaurant lost power she told me that they were only serving coffee and cake but when I proceeded inside I came across the owner and he He said that we could order anything on the menu with the exception of the morlaco breakfast. Other than that they have the delicious food and the best ambiance in Cuenca! and the owner Adrian, is super nice and kind. If you are looking for a cozy spot with great coffee and food you have to try this coffee shop.. Its amazing!👍👍😊😊"
