Review by Cordie Raynor

Cafecito is a delightful surprise tucked away in the Gold Coast! 🌟 I popped in for lunch, and the chivito sandwich was an absolute standout - packed with steak, bacon, and a fried egg that brought it all together. The caldo gallego soup was rich and comforting, even for a bean skeptic like me!

The vibe is cozy yet trendy, and the staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring all my dietary needs were met. Don't leave without trying their café con leche - it's like a warm hug for your taste buds. Can't wait to come back! ☕️🍽️
