Karnaval 2.0 ( the relaunch) seemed promising. They advertised a smaller menu with exciting drinks. The space is still cute. Colorful and lots to look at. The drinks menu was extensive. They are operating their coffee orders using an at home espresso machine so it does take quite a while to get coffee based drinks. We got the Strawberry matcha. It did not taste like matcha and it only tasted like milk. We also tried one of their “must try” drinks- Bliss Late. It was so sugary and it didn’t even taste like dragon fruit. The space is super small so if more than 5 people are in there at a time it can feel really crowded. Overall I would not return. I understand it’s a new restaurant so you can tell they’re trying to find their footing ( fruit being rinsed on the spot and food being prepared without gloves and no handwashing in between orders ) but I think they would benefit from finding their niche one that goes beyond their decoration.

I'll be back for more chilaquiles they were soooo good! The folks that work there are super friendly and I can't wait to try some other stuff. I'm always around during the day but I bet this is the place to be at night after the movies before the bar... I went back and tried there smoothies which are amazing! And they use protein powder which is perfect cuz Monday was leg day😁

Stopped for coffee and had a delicious cinnamon coffee creation and fresh flavorful empanada. The decorations are so fun! The vibe is super mellow. Definitely fun to go to this small business as opposed to big biz across the street. **thx for having compostable containers**
