Cafe Nena'i

I was excited to stumble upon this cute little cafe on Montopolis, and will definitely be back. Their coffee machine was broken during our visit so unfortunately we were unable to try their coffee, but we did order empanadas. We tried the pollo, jamon y queso, and espinacha y queso empanadas. Our order came out a bit wrong - we received two chicken empanadas instead of the ham & cheese - but they were still delicious. Although small, the seating area in the cafe is cute and cozy. The lady who helped us was kind. I would visit again just for another empanada, and can't wait to return to try their coffee too.

I stopped by and got a beef empanada, which is the most recommended menu item here. It was okay but did not seem to be anything special. I wouldn't by any means avoid this cafe, but I would hesitate to make a special stop.

Cafe Nenai is a quaint coffee shop created and owned by a latina mother and daughter pair situated in the heart of Montopolis. The cafe is tiny with a few seats and drink tables. I would describe Cafe Nenai as the perfect little gem to catch up and drink coffee with a friend, but not ideal for lunch or a work from anywhere situation. Cafe Nenai offers light bites, both savory and sweet. What really makes Cafe Nenai stand out is their combination of offering classics, such as the Ham & Cheese Melt, but also showcasing their culture with empanadas and arepas. I will never say "no" to a good empanada, especially one that is baked instead of fried! Without any hesitation, I had to try all three empanada options: Carne, Pollo, and Jamon y Queso. The Carne is a classic and was easily my favorite. The Pollo was a bit dry.

The pastries were interesting and delightfully different. The service was good. The cafe is small, but intimate. Definitely could be a cute first date idea. A few options of coffee, tea, pastries and meat empanadas. The guava cream cheese pastry was light and flavorful. The loaf bread slice was made with mandarins which made it zesty. I also tried the guava tart which reminded my mom of a classy pop tart. This small business, woman-owned cafe is definitely worth visiting in order to sample a piece of Paraguay.

I am crazy for Cortadito! And I am cray cray for Cafe Nena'i!!Cafe Nena'i has been my regular go-to for the past few months, and I can't say enough about how great it's been. I went for the Cuban Coffee - never had it before - but now I can officially say I am addicted! I love coffee, but I really love good coffee, so I'm always looking for that unique cup of joe. I've read and heard a lot about cuban coffee and after scouring Yelp I ran into Cafe Nena'i and they looked really appealing. A nice instagram too, lots of positive compliments about their coffee and pastries, I finally made the trip down by Montopolis to check them out. You have to order on the website, their doors are closed for COVID precautions. I started w/ the Cordata but asked for half sweet. It's kinda like a cappuccino with sugar mixed in. Wow - I was floored! It was so strong yet so smooth, I've never had such an awesome cup of coffee! It hits me after the first sip and I'm ready to go. My next trip I wanted to try something new - so went for the Cortadito which is the cuban coffee with milk and sugar whipped in. I ask for Oatmilk option and went with the regular sugar portion, and WOW! I can't tell you how awesome this was! No joke, it was so good I had to order another one - she just laughed at me. My typical order now is 2 Cortaditos with Oat Milk, half sugar, and that is just perfect! Hits the spot and what a smooth kick! I've tried a few of their pastries too. I did the spinach and cheese empanada, the tangerine cake, guava tart, pastafrola, and alfajor. Everything tastes so great here, exceptional quality, the deserts are not too sweet. The tangerine cake and alfajor surprised me - never had these before and they were so delightful. The customer service here is always so friendly and nice. During these times they have the dining area inside closed off, but you can sit outside, and you order through the q-code on your phone, and she comes right out with your stuff in a jiffy - always with a smile and a nice hello. My new favorite place and some of the best darn coffee I've ever had.

This I a delightful little cafe with modern yet comfy furnishings. I ordered a cafe con leche, Empanada de Espinaca Y Queso, and a Chipa. Delicious. The owner also filed our hearts with her kind words and smiles. I look forward to returning and bringing my wife!

Coffee and carne were really good! Service is friendly and ambiance is cozy Gets busy around 10 am, we went on a Sunday morning, and the owner does her best to accommodate the line of customers building up as swiftly as she can.If we happen to be in the area, we will visit again for sure!

The empanadas were really good, the chicken/pollo was a little dry. I'd give 5 stars if it wasn't so overpriced but I'm sure it's helping this local cafe afloat. Got the cortadito with oat milk and half sugar! Highly recommend this to start off your morning

Small quiet location. Food is incredibly presented and heated to perfection per order! Quickly made and served at the counter.

Got a mixto caliente and it was so good!!!! The ambience was beautiful, felt like home for me. Service was amazing as well, she let me know the sandwich took a bit to heat up. Can't wait to come back and try some coffee and the pastries
