    Very peaceful area where you don’t get mothered as much by local beggars. You need to try the croissant with ham and cheese. It’s amazing. Friendly service, and fair prices. The salmon finger plate was very small, so order something else if you are very hungry. The German chocolate cake was very good. I wasn’t impressed with the lasagna. There are two fruit mix drinks on the menu and I tried them both. The strawberry one was a bit boring and the mango one tasted like it had spices in it. They both had pulp, which I didn’t like.

    Super relaxing and beautiful decor/theme, food was amazing, including the desserts. Service was unbelievable! Super friendly, considerate and helpful staff, very just prices for quality / quantity. Would recommend making a reservation to ensure your spot. They DO accept credit/debit cards (including Amex)

    My favorite go to while in Medellin. Loved everything about this restaurant. The owners were engaging and Luis was kind enough to find me a seat on a very busy Mother's Day morning. Servers were most gracious and attentive. And the food was excellent! Always fresh. Great presentation. During my eight day stay in Medellin, I went to Cambria four times. Twice for breakfast and twice for a late night sweet tooth snack. I also recommended Cambria to a gentleman from Israel. He went two nights in a row. French toast is awesome. German chocolate cakes was to die for. Carrot cake was excellent. I can't say enough about Cambria.....my favorite restaurant during my visit to Medellin. Until we meet again. Hasta Luego!!

    For a place like this, I definitely expected so much more. But let’s start with the good part. The coffee and the cake I tried was no doubt very delicious and I don’t mind paying what I paid for it. Sometimes I like treating myself to good food and a great ambience. It started out okay when I entered. The man who seemed to be the owner or at least the manager attended to me with respect. However, when the staff took over, there was a quick shift in the air. She had rudeness written all over her. I paid not much attention to it because it was “strike 1”. Strike 2 came when she talked to me rudely about wearing a mask. I understand that we have to but sometimes we forget to put it back on once we’ve already taken it off while seated. I made three steps just to ask what cake was there. She honestly could have asked nicely like anywhere else. Strike 3 was the worst of it all. When she served my cake, she barely stood next to my table and then practically threw my plate on the table. She slammed my plate of cake in front of me. Look at this picture. Beautiful cake but thrown at me. What the actual f***. She shouldn’t work in a place like this with that attitude. What, does she think she’s better than everyone? Psshh. What a shame as this place would have been a great escape to have coffee and cake alone or with friends. EDIT: I went back a second time and service was definitely better. Maybe my initial review helped bring light to this. I hope the quality of service continues! For now, I will upgrade my review from a 1 star to a 3 star ⭐️

    Service was a ten! Staff happy to serve the highest quality food with pride. Very impressed by the egg muffin sandwich. The cappuccino with almond milk was large and delicious. The shashuka was also delicious. Great atmosphere and chill vibe inside.

    Really enjoyable & quaint dining experience. I went during a Monday afternoon & ample seats were available. The staff was friendly & patient as I don’t speak much Spanish. The menu was dynamic & exciting.

    great place, had been trying to go for weeks but it’s usually really busy, so better if you make a reservation. the place is cozy, well located, with some french music and it gets to be a bit romantic even. the service was really good and food was really nice as well with even better coffee.

    One of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. The Shakshuka Eggs was an unreal dish. Fresh and an amazing blend of herbs and spices. I’m not a fan of bread, but their bread on the side is a must - so fresh and a great compliment with the sauce of the dish. Also, while eating, locals delivered fresh tomatoes and produce. Truly a farm to table experience.

  • 5/5 Ben W. 10 months ago on Google
    Delicious! Some of the best Shakshouka I’ve had. Rich, spicy, flavorful. Great cinnamon roll too - moist with a delicious cream topping. French cafe vibes - lots of pastry options that all looked delicious in the case.

    Super cool cafe. Great food. Great Service. Fun outdoor seatings on the patio. Chicken, Spinach, Asparagus Tunrover - 4/5 Chicken, Ham, and cheese sandwich - 4/5 The turnovers are tasty. Crispy, flaky pastry dough. Very filling. The sandwich was good as well. The bread is super fresh and delicious. Service is great. Everyone is super friendly. Definitely have to come back and try more of their baked goods. They have a huge selection of savory and sweet options.

    The food here is very good, bistro/cafe style, freshly made and an excellent coffee also. Not cheap but not unreasonable for the portion sizes and quality.

  • 5/5 Alan G. 6 months ago on Google
    It's so good we went twice in two days. The atmosphere is an amazing escape, and the food is fantastic, especially if you're ready to try something less Colombian.

  • 5/5 Asdghik M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food and service here are absolutely amazing! It's a small spot, so I recommend reserving. Highly recommend it for brunch or lunch. All the food I tried here was exceptional. The menu is quite big with lots of choices. They also have delicious dessert and pastries.

  • 5/5 Oana A. 1 year ago on Google
    This was the best breakfast place in entire Colombia. Their menu looked like you can easily choose to have lunch or dinner here too. The atmosphere was super nice, really good music, coffee and the lady managing the place absolutely adorable. Their french toast was the best I’ve ever had.

  • 5/5 Cody M. 2 years ago on Google
    The service and food here was amazing! I really appreciated them working on English with me. We had a pitcher of sangria and the bread basket to start. I was way too much bread for two people but I'm not complaining. It was great. For our main course we had the salmon and the garden crepes. Although the salmon was good... The crepes were amazing. Wish I had found this place sooner, would loved to have tried breakfast. Definitely recommend.

    Amazing place. Great service. The coffee is brilliant. The quiches were to die for. We had the Florida wrap- highly recommend this. Would go back !

    This is a great place to have breakfast in Medellin. Everything was wonderful. Fresh-baked croissants worthy of Paris. And the omelette was superb with the freshest ingredients. The chef/owner, along with his staff, were warm and welcoming. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Barney C. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food packed with flavor. The presentation matches the pictures on social media and the portions are good. Sangria was fresh and refreshing. Friendly, top notch service. 12 out of 10. Would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Kevin G. 2 years ago on Google
    Super great dinner spot in Poblado. The steak was cooked quite nicely, and the cafe brought bread and other nice touches to the table. I loved the service of the staff, which were super friendly and helped me get a table even when they were packed. Don’t miss out on the homemade desserts, which are really good!

  • 5/5 Esteban D. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious Brunch. French toast, spinach and cheese croissant, and pecan cherry pie.

  • 5/5 The Royal P. 2 years ago on Google
    Cambria hands down has the best food in Medellin - from the exquisite croissants (which is incredibly hard to find) the coffee and to literally anything on the menu, is mouthwatering. The ambiance, music and menu is Mediterranean & European infused. Try the Middle Eastern delight “Shakshuka Eggs”

  • 5/5 Ling R. 2 years ago on Google
    A hidden gem in el poblado. Absolutely love this place. Plenty varieties of cakes. Pecan pies and lemon tarts are super delicious. Highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Unni M. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely spectacular! The decor, ambiance, service, and the food (not to mention the fantastic bakery) were all on point! The owner is a wonderful man, and the staff are very attentive and kind. I could go on, but rather, you should go in! Cannot recommend this place enough!

😠 We ordered a mixed ceviche and it was very acidic, you couldn't eat it, the presentation was terrible in a plastic cup. We paid 28,900 each and it was just onion, a small fish bite and 3 shrimp.
