"La Alacena is the type of café you wish you had in your neighborhood. The sunny corner spot with adjacent bakery probably has such a positive energy due to the 'buena onda' of its owners Julieta Oriolo and Mariana Bauzá, who also happen to be best friends. Whether you're looking for a quick coffee and pastry, a hearty pasta lunch, a go-to brunch spot, or to crush into decadent desserts, La Alacena checks all the boxes." - Allie Lazar
