Tienda Latina

Nice place! A lot of cool things, and a selection of beer (if you’re into self harm) is available too.

Sandwiched between sushi favorite Yokohama and pizza place Big Johns, this corner Ecuadorian market and café is not to be missed! I’ve been coming here for years for the freshest cilantro, ripe avocados, and imported, hard-​to-​find Latin sauces and spices (my bf is Peruvian).
But the star attraction is the café! Wether you order takeout or stay for a Cuban, it’s all freshly prepared and oh so delicious! And take a chance on the baked goods — they’re made in house. My favorite is the Latin version of Pain au Chocolat — so good with my cup of morning Joe!
Only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because the café seating, while spacious, is not inviting. Having said that, it’s clean, and bonus! you get to see the activity at the mini-​buffet, a great way to check out what the local Latino community is ordering. I’ll have what they’re having!
