Today was my first time dining at this establishment, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The atmosphere has a contemporary design, which was very appealing. The wait staff were friendly and also efficient. My order, which consisted of a sandwich, empanadas and coffee, was served faster than expected - especially considering how busy they were. The sauce paired with the empanadas was delightfully tasty, with just the right elements of pesto, vinegar and spices. The coffee selection includes espressos, lattes, cappuccinos (around $3) and even French pressed coffee ($7). The quality of the coffee is above Starbucks standards and you get more for your buck. Overall, the best thing about my experience was seeing Mr. Martinez there. While not only managing the restaurant, he was also helping the staff members as it was busy. The best part was Mr. Martinez was convivial and hospitable, going around to each customer and inquiring how everything was. I would highly recommend friends to eat at this establishment as it has excellent customer service, good food and a robust coffee selection.

Argentinian coffee shop and bakery that has me hooked! Its refreshing to see a coffee menu with some Argentinian flair and not Starbucks. I had to try the iced coffee, and submarino which is hot chocolate! It was pleasing to the eye and to the tummy. I also tried the Argentinian popular cookie, the Alfajores and it was ok haha. Nothing that stood out. I had grilled cheese with peppers and goat cheese and it was good. They have a limited lunch menu which composed of sandwiches and salads. There was a bakery of different types of pastries that all looked very enticing. I had a good experience here, the staff were nice, and the whole place had an overall satisfying coffee cafe vibe that did not seem cramp and crowded. I will go back to try more of their coffee menu and pastries.

Attention to detail, good coffee and foods, and a beautiful place would make of these coffeeshop one of your favorites in town. Having been in another Cafe Martinez in the past I knew I would like this one, and they do not disappoint. The place is really nice and clean, and they have several coffee options, so you wont have a problem going here. I only wish they roasted their own coffee, or used Browns as a local source (Best roaster in town, hands down). Photo included in my review is frombtheir speciality coffee list, a Dulce de Leche coffee. A nice mix between flavors, but probably too much Dulce de Leche for most people. The whipped cream was really tasty (I dont know if they make their own).

What a cute little gem, hidden within the medical center! Im always a fan of supporting smaller more quaint establishments and Café Martinez did NOT disappoint. From the moment I stepped in to the moment I left I felt like this is a place I want to support. The ambiance, the exceptional customer service, the coffee and the food were enough to make me want to tell all of my friends about it. If you are looking for a place to study, visit with friends, read a book, explore the internet or just relax this is the place for you. It really makes me happy shop owners are starting to recognize this area and are bringing their businesses - its about time!

Very friendly and helpful staff that can make recommendations. The barista was very skilled and made a beautiful cappuccino. Cant speak to the meals, but I had a croissant and it was also delicious. Additionally, the inside is decorated in a way that makes you feel warm and comfortable, but still very stylish as you would expect from a coffee shop. Plenty of seating for making yourself at home to study or catch up with friends! One thing I would say is that the espresso itself isnt particularly flavorful and was a little on the watery side, but it is certainly prepared well in the store and is much better than the average place.

I loved the layout of this cafe. It was very open and had plenty of casual chat seating, tables for eating, and tables for studying. It is a fairly large area and has plenty of room to hide in a quite corner. The menu had a great variety of coffee and food items. We tried the blended iced coffee, dulce de leche and vanilla. Both were delicious. They also serve beer, making it a great place to chat and have a few drinks without dealing with loud crowds. The baristas were very friendly and helpful with our special order. We will definitely be back to try more drinks.

This is a great little coffee shop owned and operated by the Martinez Family in the same area in which they live. The coffee is very good, well-brewed, and full-bodied. And, the menu is no-nonsense, offering good coffee and tea options without gimmicks or frills. (They also have a good selection of craft beers available.) The atmosphere of the shop is very modern and appealing. +

I had the La Boca wrap with organic wheat tortilla and fresh fruit cup. The La Boca was so delicious. A unquie blend of mustard seeds and bacon. They serve it with kettle potato chips. Hand delivered to your seating location. A quiet venue to study or work. They have free wi-fi too. I liked coming here.

My first time here and I was immediately impressed by how friendly the staff is. Great cafe style food options, the spicy grilled cheese was especially satisfying. High ceilings and loft style ambience; and of course a really great latte. Using a La Cimbali espresso machine.

Great armosphere, friendly staff, great coffee and delicious pastries. Their offerings go beyond most coffee shops and include import alcohol and other drinks. The prices are reasonable for the coffee but a little expensive for the cakes, though they are local specialties.

Great place! I had a delicious coffee, while waiting for my empanadas with spicy chimichurri. I order 1 chicken and 1 beef, theyre very tasty! The chimichurri made that dish POP! I also ordered a Nicoise salad it was, AMAZING! I will definitely be going back for more!!!

We had a hot dulce de leche cappuccino and it was delicious! However please change the bread on the media noche. Its not the same with just regular toast/bread. Love the different pastry options. The beer options are different but good.

Awesome coffee. The place is super clean and modern at the same time. The employees are super friendly and helpful. The only issue I have is that their food menu is very limited and that everything is super pricey.
