"Diamond in the Rough"


Blintz Cafe is our "Diamond in the Rough!" We regularly visit this cafe for coffees and crepes because it actually serves espresso beverages and has a few vegetarian items on the menu. We are getting quite friendly with the owner and her daughter, joking with them often and have even taught them how to make delicious iced americanos! The crepa natural is a favorite choice and very good value because for only Q10 ($1.50) you get a huge crepe with syrup. The atmosphere is so clean and tranquil, and the service is remarkable for Guatemala. And, much to our surprise and delight the owner offered to let us leave a stack of our fliers advertising English classes at Enlace Quiché!

Very few of our blog followers have been to Santa Cruz del Quich
é , but those who have understand how this cafe is a rare find. If you want to envision us here in Guatemala...sitting outside Blintz Cafe sipping cappuccinos is a great scene. Also, if any of you come to visit us, this will be a prime destination!
