Está cafetería fue un grato descubrimiento en el centro comercial, tuve la oportunidad de ir hace unos días y conocí a la dueña, que me comentó que su esposo es el Barista y que el café que ofrecen es de alta calidad. Como aficionado al buen café, puedo decir con total seguridad que si son productos de calidad y de diferentes regiones de Guatemala. Ofrecen desayunos, almuerzos y refacciones, aparte de las bebidas a base de café con opciones en la variedad y región de procedencia. También pude notar que ofrecen diferentes métodos manuales como Chemex, V60, aeropress y moca italiana. Los precios son bastante accesibles desde Q25.00 por persona.

I've been looking for a coffee shop to study, and comparing to other coffee shops in San Cristobal this one is the best. Surprisingly, this place is not loud, nor crowded, and another plus; they don't blast trap music. It is clean and well managed since the owner stops by often to check on the services they provide. Their coffee I can tell is extracted from freshly grinded coffee and you can taste this high quality coffee which I'd recommend to order iced americano/ aka iced coffee. For people who want the short version of my review here it is: PROS: - there is no parking fee, plus paiz is nearby so convenient to visit and buy groceries - the place is quiet and does not blast hard music - the owner is there to ensure quality service - the tables are cleaned compared to other shops such as,, sadly to say the franchise: Barista and Starbucks - also for anyone who enjoys korean products they sell korean ice cream and refreshers CONS: - inconsistent music genre... mostly spanish songs on radio with commercials In summary: for someone who was very accustomed to only visiting franchise; I'd say give this cafe tan a try.

Recomiendo ampliamente Café Tan, la comida del lugar es muy buena, el plato del día sale a Q.49.00 lo cual es una opción accesible y es comida casera, muy rica. El lugar mantiene un ambiente agradable, con buena iluminación y ventilación. La atención del personal es muy buena, son amables y el lugar es bastante limpio. Si quieren probar una opción diferente en comidas rápidas para las personas que se mantienen en ruta sin lugar a duda este es un lugar que deben visitar. Punto de mejora: el servicio puede ser un poco tardado porque cocinan en el momento, por lo que, recomiendo venir con tiempo.

Considero que es uno de los lugares mas ricos en comida de casa del centro comercial, también tiene un excelente ambiente para tomar un café, comer y hasta para trabajar o tener pequeñas reuniones familiares ó de trabajo. Con deliciosa comida y económica, junto con un servicio muy bueno por la chicas que atienden el lugar. Tiene bebidas muy especiales tanto en café como en otras extravagantes. La comida Coriana es excelente pues los dueños son Corianos entonces tienen la receta original y tienen muchos snaks y bebidas de su país. Recomiendo que prueben todo.
