Warm Up Cocktail bar
Amazing cocktail bar. Small intimate vibe, good music, personalized service, and, legitimately, some of the best cocktails I’ve had anywhere in the world. I gave the bartender some general tasting notes and preferred spirits and received two completely different, complex, and delicious cocktails. All the staff were extremely friendly (I was solo) and also offered recommendations for where else to visit in the city. Great experience!

I don’t often leave reviews but I feel I must because the level of petty negativity in recent reviews is outrageous and has tanked this awesome little cafe from a 4.2 to a 3.8 in a matter of weeks. Give this place a shot!
This is an extremely cute rooftop cafe and bakery with ample and varied seating allowing for either a cafe, patio restaurant, or lounge vibe depending on your preference. It’s spectacularly shaded both by umbrellas on the exterior and by a massive awning along the interior. The entire patio gets a great crossbreeze and I sat outside for two hours mid-afternoon and was pleasantly cool. There is upbeat but low volume music playing in the afternoon which created a chilled atmosphere. I could happily bring a laptop and work from here for hours.
I had the cardamom latte and found it to be pleasantly spiced without being sweet, but nor was it bitter. I usually add sugar and did not need to. It’s milky and perhaps more in the style of a north american latte than some commenters would like, but this is my preference and I loved it. The pain au chocolat, served warm, was also excellent and the chocolate had a complexity that was unique and made me wonder whether there is a hint of liqueur used or if it’s just an exceptionally high quality local chocolate. As I walked upstairs I caught a glimpse of their team busily preparing new batches of pastries in the back kitchen, so they are clearly all made fresh in-house.
I walked in the wrong entrance initially and the two women at the front counter happily said hello to me through the breezeway which alerted me to come around and order through them at the front counter. They then promptly brought my order up to the table I chose on the roof, and I paid them on my way down when I was ready. They were extremely patient with my limited and clumsy Spanish and I felt welcome from the moment I walked in until the moment I left.
