Acostumbré mucho a visitar esta cadena de cafetería.. y sin duda puedo decir que este es uno de los locales más prolijos qué he visitado.. todo súper limpio bien organizado todas las mesas impecables listas para usar completas. La atención muy buena. Se nota el esmero que le ponen al local.. volveré a esta sucursal sin dudar .. lo único que las medialunas de manteca podrían mejorar un poco.. el resto me encantó todoooo

Local bien calefaccionado y ambientado. Las chicas son amables. Exquisito el rol de canela y la cockie de chocolate (calentitos) para acompañar ricos cafés *****

I really enjoyed the experience. It’s a cozy little spot that feels inviting from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed—perfect for taking a break in the middle of the city. I ordered a coffee and a few small bites, and everything was delicious. Their coffee has that rich Argentine flavor that goes perfectly with their famous alfajores, which are honestly a must-try if you’ve never had them before. The pastries looked fresh and beautifully presented, and it was hard not to order more. The staff were friendly and attentive without rushing anyone, which made the whole experience even nicer. You can tell they take pride in keeping the place clean and welcoming. It’s also a great spot to people-watch or catch up on messages while enjoying something sweet. Prices are reasonable for the quality, and the location is convenient if you’re exploring the Monserrat area or heading toward Plaza de Mayo. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing pause, whether for a quick espresso or a slow afternoon coffee. A classic Buenos Aires stop that never disappoints.

Este Havanna en particular cuenta con una atención personalizada qué marca la diferencia., Melanie qué atiene en mesas es cálida, muy amable y respetuosa en lo personal hace que me sienta muy cómoda con ganas de quedarme más tiempo! Alejándome del ruido y bullicio del centro. El resto del personal es muy amable lo recomiendo para pasar un rato tranquilo y tomar un respiro

Loja da franquia Havanna completa. Atendentes educados. Espaço legal para um café e para compras de alfajores da marca. Não é abarrotada de gente, embora se localize muito perto da casa rosada, bem na esquina da Avenida de Mayo. Local bonito e decorado internamente. Os preços são tabelados nas lojas argentinas da marca e não são muito baratos, por isso uma estrela a menos.
