This small and open-air café serves deliciously rich coffee, made from 100% organic Ecuadorian beans.  In addition to buying coffee, take-home bags of coffee beans can be bought for a reasonable $5.50.  Food is basic, with a small selection of breakfast, sandwiches and cake.  Still, you’re here for the genuinely rich coffee, which is hard to come by in Quito.  For a quiet escape, head up to the second-floor balcony, which offers people-watching views of the street below.  There's a second location in La Ronda.
