A friend invite me to try out this hidden Argentinan gem. The ambiance is welcoming, there is indoor and outdoor seating. I tried the chocolate coconut alfajores, it's like a gourmet cookie with chocolate coating and coconut sprinkles, rich and fulfilling. Lavazza coffee was fresh and delicious. I'd come back to try there other items. There desserts looks heavenly.

Not only the food great, but the service was also phenomenal It was so good that I brought my mom to try their food. She loved it! We had the Chicken Pesto Avocado Pennie with an iced drink. For desert we had tres leche cake and cheesecake, this was delicious. Oraydes will definitely be our go to spot in Alexandria.

It's back! Delicious alfajores and other desserts, sandwiches, good coffee and mate. Unfortunately they are still using disposable dinnerware even if you eat in. That's the only reason i gave it 4 stars. We need to take care of our planet, Reduce waste. Great service.

Found this place by accident and it didn't disappoint! We had lunch there and unfortunately didn't save room for the delicious looking desserts, but the food was tremendous. We had all 3 empanadas they offer; beef, chicken (not on the menu), and humita (veggie). They were all delicious but I was most impressed by the humita, definitely the one I would get again. Son had the pizza and it was also good. Wife had the 4 cheese pasta, that was excellent as well. Overall, enjoyed this hidden gem

Katherine was wonderful! She greets you as soon as you walk in. Since I was new, she explained every item I asked about. The CGB breakfast sandwich is delicious. The ricotta tart was so good and had a mild lemon flavor. I really liked the passion coco drink. It's not on the menu, so ask for it. It's a refreshing tropical drink. I'll go back next time I'm in the area!

Wonderful little cafe. It may be easy to drive by or oversee, but the food as well as coffee tastes great, and you can tell they put a lot of effort into their work. Empanadas were best I ever had. (Beef front) (corn back).

This quickly became my family's new favorite spot. Friendly, laid back and very clean little spot. We have tried few hot and cold drinks and loved all of them, also loved their paninis... But my kids favorite items were, to my surprise, the tuna melt and a tres leche sweet (don't remember what it was called, looked like a cannoli) Highly recommend it
