Jedyna cafe w miejscowości. Kawa dobra ale w papierowo-plastikowym kubeczku. Pyszne ciasto, pokrojone przez właściciela. Super właściciel, uprzejmy i kontaktowy. Pozdrowienia!

Proste, ale pyszne jedzenie (świeże kanapki i emoanady) . Właściciel przesympatyczny. W takich miejscach z klimatem miło przebywać. Polecam na lunch po Piedras Rojas i Lagunas

If you are on your way to Piedras Rojas or the Lagunas Altiplanica (Laguna Miscanti) and stop at the mandatory Check in point in Socaire, this little café and shop is your last chance to grab a coffee, a bottle of water, a sandwich or a snack or even sunscreen. The problem is: they know it full well, so they price everything accordingly (i.e. very expensive) because of demand and supply. Still, an expensive snack is better than no snack and your day in the wonderful nature of the places you'll discover will make you completely forget about the price you've paid.
