For a touch of sweetness, don’t miss the Quimbolito, a fluffy and sweet treat available for only US$1.80. The Humita Especial, featuring a rich filling of cheese, is a must-try for cheese lovers and is available for US$2.30.

For those who appreciate the heartiness of traditional fare, the Ayaca (US$2.45) and both the Tamal De Mote and Tamal De Quinua, also priced at US$2.45, are essential dishes that will transport you to the vibrant markets of Ecuador. Pair any of these with their excellent coffee—try the signature Café Vélez to elevate your experience.

And let’s not forget the desserts—the Torta De Chocolate (US$2.80) and Torta De Naranja (US$2.75) are both light, fluffy, and the perfect end to your meal. Each bite will remind you of home, as many patrons rave about the recipes reflecting the love and care reminiscent of Grandma’s kitchen.

The atomsphere at Cafetería Amazonas is just as pleasing as the menu; the renovated premises provide a cozy spot perfect for a leisurely breakfast or an afternoon coffee break.
