El ambiente un 10. La comida un 10. El servicio un 10. La atencion un 10. Me quede muy sorprendido por el sitio, la cefeteria Las Candelas me sorprendio muchisimo para bien por muchos motivos, el principal y el mas destacado, el servicio y la atencion, el señor es super encantador, muy educado y simpatico. La comida muy muy buena, y sobre todo el detalle que tiene cada vez que pides un café, te trae o acompaña dicho cafe con un dulce. ¡¡Ese gesto es fantástico!! El ambiente es perfecto, cuida hasta el mas minimo detalle, da gusto llegar a tomar algo a esa cafeteria.
