Crema's Take
“Tucked into Hot Springs, this espresso-focused café captures an undeniably charming atmosphere with thoughtful music and a polished space, though service can feel inconsistent depending on the day. The standout here is their Argentinian pastry selection—particularly their legendary cheese and pepper empanadas served with chimichurri salsa—which justify a visit even if the main food portions lean small for the price. It's best approached as a destination for specialty coffee and those exceptional empanadas rather than a full meal spot, and it sounds like their peak experience may have shifted over time.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Slow-sit spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Cool atmosphere & music. Staff friendly. Overpriced for the portion size. Sampler omelets were mostly cheese. I had to move the cheese to see if any egg or vegetable was in it because I wasn't convinced. I would guess only 1 scrambled egg was in entire omelet with 1/4 c potatoes…
We had been here two years prior and enjoyed our experience much more. In 2019, they offered the water massages and made their own in-house Bloody Mary mix that my husband loved. Things have changed. We were disappointed in the breakfast board… instead of strawberries,…
The Argentinian was an interesting little restaurant. Food tasted good. Gentleman at the counter was polite and professional. Building was clean and nicely decorated. It was a good choice for a quick solo lunch within walking distance of the Arlington Hotel. I ordered a club…
