    I love this small cafe! Its a quiet place to go study & the staff are very friendly. Come by and try out their belgian waffles, they're absolutely heavenly!

    Good coffee and really friendly baristas. Good quiet space after the morning rush (which I can appreciate). Wifi is not that strong but is serviceable for emails. Good location!

    Not only a fine purveyor of coffee, cortona serves authentic Belgian waffles. In fact all staff are required to have at least 1/4 Belgian blood to work in this authentic flemish cafe. Eet smakelijk!

    The empanadas are yummy. The space is cozy. The password is cortona25. There is ample street parking. My only complaint is that they play good music with words and it is distracting.

    Visit Cortona by bike (there are two convenient bike racks) to enjoy great local art, wine, empanadas and free wifi!

    Great coffee, atmosphere and service. Love the small intimate atmosphere. Haven't had a chance to eat the food but it all looks and smells great.
