Like the original, it serves Latin American food and drinks, like coquito, Venezuelan pastries and Cuban cortoditos, but the new location also has a liquor license.
, at 4059 Tejon Street in Sunnyside, has been owned and operated by Simon Lagos since 2015. Though it has opened additional locations before, those outposts closed in 2019. Now, after joining forces with longtime customer Charlie Bibilos, Lagos and his team are giving expansion another go, this time in the Golden Triangle, with, which opened inside the former Amethyst space at 1111 Broadway on December 9.
The two hope to re-create that familiar, welcoming feeling in the new space, which they took over from Amethyst owners Elle Jensen and Breezy Sanchez last month following that cafe's closure on October 31. “We’re trying to go for that same spirit — a little bit like Cheers,” says Bibilos. That moment turned into an ongoing friendship, with Jensen biking to the shop on occasion, offering encouragement and supporting the business. He was saddened to learn that Amethyst would be closing, and since he and Bibilos were on the lookout for a new cafe, he decided to reach out. The timing lined up, and it was"one of the most amicable transactions ever," Bibilos notes.
Sometimes referred to as Puerto Rican eggnog, coquito is available on the menu at both cafes and available by the bottle.One thing the Golden Triangle outlet has that Sunnyside doesn't is a liquor license, which it is utilizing by offering boozy versions of popular drinks such as coquito, a seasonal Puerto Rican beverage made with vanilla, coconut milk, coconut cream and spices, traditionally spiked with rum.
