Great vibes and very friendly, communal, upbeat atmosphere and staff. Literally stumbled upon Gotan and was so glad we went inside. Had the Gotan breakfast which was excellent and was so thoughtfully put together. It was recommended by the person who took our order and they were spot on. So good. Definitely a great spot.

My review is gonna be interesting.. But anyway great spot for light meals and some treats. Enough seats with restroom but no wifi. Tea cake was surprisingly delicious..! Flavorful with moist cake texture. Not too sweet and went well with a drink. Green split pea soup was good and healthy. The funny thing is that it came out different from my expectations.. and had everything I hate inside (pea, carrot, parsley, celery....) but I finished. Which yes, they made it well so that I got to eat it. Golden latte was creamy, the ginger taste was strong. Pistachio crinkle was rich. The texture was chewy with crunchy edges. A good option for ppl who want cookies but not chocolate chip that day!

perfecto spot for working on your laptop, so make sure you get a table with outlet I got the Acai bowl and was so good for something on the lighter side.

Definitely worth visiting - a true neighborhood gem with an amazing coffee and a great healthy options menu. The portions are large enough to keep you energetic from the morning till the evening. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We've loved the atmosphere as well - you can grab your drink and choose where you sit, and you will be served by a staff member when the order is ready. Will visit again for sure

Another great find in my never ending journey to sample coffee shops around the city. I love that this menu features food options that are bright & colorful with fresh greens and fruit. My breakfast choice was the avocado toast with egg added and a PB&J toast which was a delicious play on a childhood favorite! The iced black coffee was good enough to stand on its own with no sugar or milk needed. Definitely recommending this spot. I can’t wait to come back and sample more dishes alongside coffee.
