The guava-cheese pastelito is the reason to come. Buttery, flaky, and filled with enough sweetness to make a croissant feel like it's trying too hard. Pair one with a café con soy (fair-trade single-origin espresso, steamed soy) and a pressed cubano, and what started as a quick coffee stop turns into ninety minutes on the dog-friendly patio.
