This is hands down my favorite breakfast spot in Ridgewood or really anywhere. The food is incredible. Everything is made with love and care. The people who work here are so kind. I have to go here at least once a week. I often find myself craving this food. Everything I have tried has been delicious. Great spot for vegans. I usually get the vegan tacos or the Guatemalan traditional. If you are feeling super indulgent, try the grilled cheese French toast.

Clean, friendly, creative menu, VERY healthy and lots of seating considering it's a neighborhood coffee spot. Professional baristas, decent coffee roast, & fast service during rush hours. I've eaten there a lot & it's always been consistently clean , delicious and served at appropriate temperatures. Eg: coffee still piping hot, not tepid. Everything on their menu is good, my personal favorite is the Aguate Toast, it comes with avocado & a healthy garnishing of sesame seeds, alfalfa etc Highly recommend

I order from C. Lo every morning - the food is delicious and I never grow tired of it! I occasionally go in person, and it’s such a cozy spot with really lovely people working there! It’s also dog friendly, which is a huge plus :) I highly recommend the Guatemalan Traditional for breakfast, such a healthy and tasty treat 3

Went there today and honestly, the place exceeded my expectations. The brisket sandwich is really good 10/10. The coffee was great and i really liked that that have non-dairy substitutes. The staff is friendly. Something that I also take into consideration when leaving this review is the fact that the staff is bilingual (spanish) so that’s always a plus. Overall it was a great meal and a good experience.

I'm such a fan of this place. The staff is amazing, the coffee is fantastic, and you have to try their BEC sandwich! Best coffee shop in Ridgewood!

Really good experience and decent prices. Fast service. One thing I will comment on is that is not the best study spot since the chairs are not comfortable, and the music is loud. They do have wifi, so it was useful in a pinch.

The people here are so nice and friendly. I got an iced matcha latte with coconut milk. It was a little too sweet for my taste personally, but well made (and I bet they could adjust the sugar if you ask). I can't wait to come back and try the traditional Guatemalan breakfast!
