Del Ray, FL. This place is a dream come true for coffee lovers and the family that created it: Great vibe, great proprietary coffee, great pastries, and they support other small businesses by selling pastries from bakeries nearby. They import Colombian coffee beans and roast them, and sell bags of their proprietary blends in the shop, said Mariana.
Mariana made me an excellent cappuccino, while chatting and multitasking. They said the shop has been open about six months and every month their foot traffic grows.
It is super hard to find! Obey Siri. Siri will direct you down a side alley and dump you out, it seems, in front of a different restaurant. But continue down that narrow alley Siri had you on and you’ll find Cumbres. And you’ll be happy you did.
By the way, as I sat there in coffee bliss, a bakery owner came in to replenish some of the pastries, including some amazing gluten-free pistachio cookies. They tasted so much better than the gluten-free cookies I got for my friend’s birthday recently. The bakery is Pistachioli, owned by chef Robert Bellini.
Highly recommended.
