I really enjoyed the café! The food was delicious, and the quality was excellent. However, I think the menu could be a bit clearer by explicitly specifying charges for extras. Additionally, while everything tasted great, the portion sizes could be improved. For example, the nachos were $26 but noticeably smaller compared to many other places, especially considering the relatively low cost of making them.

This is a cozy cafe just out of Samford. Their food and coffee is great. Atmosphere is just so chilled as well.

Great coffee, great food, and a lovely spot. It's nice to have something different for breakfast rather than the usual suspects every place e serves up.

We had been looking for a good Latin food spot for a while and were delighted to come across this beautiful café in the Samford Valley this morning. We tried the vegetarian empanadas, and they were absolutely delicious — generous portions and a filling that was clearly made with care and passion. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the customer service made the experience even better. We highly recommend this hidden gem and are excited to make it our go-to place for Colombian and Mexican food in the future.

My wife wanted this for Mothers Day as she had heard good reports from her riding club. Everything was pretty good and whilst there was a regular turn over of customers it was still easy to get a table. Parking was easy out front.

Fabulous atmosphere and friendly staff. Such different choices on the menu as well as the regular suspects. We had a lovely breakfast in the winter sunshine.

I ordered açai bowl in a Latin speciality cafe, my bad! Their Latin food is probably a lot better than the açai bowl. Was just not giving

Today my husband and I wanted to drink something warm in the middle of the winter and we decided to go to Latin Shark Cafe to have a hot chocolate and coffee. The atmosphere of this place is beautiful, service is excellent, the drinks were really good and we could not resist to order some empanadas, absolutely delicious. We loved this picturesque place.
