Aaron and George's Film Cafe

I was excited to see the classic Chinese film, Zhang Yimou's Raise the Red Lantern tonight with some new friends I met recently. Not sure if they're going to be friends after this because that was a pretty traumatic movie, about women backstabbing one another. LolBut I have a feeling we'll be back again because the little cafe where we went to screen the movie is so cute. They have been open for approximately 18 weeks and are planning on getting their alcohol license so they could have more events there. I won't lie. Parking is tough but there are free open lots and street meter parking available if you search, especially at the city hall lot after 6 pm. It's a quirky little deli and it's run by a native El Pasoan and New York transplant. There's history here as my friend kept comparing it to the theater that closed down, Fellini Film Café.The food was housemade and delicious, the Cafe De Olla was delicious on its own without cream or sugar, the egg cream soda was legit and the service was outstanding. Best of all they have a lot of vegan options, so I can take some good friends and they wouldn't feel left out. The egg cream soda can be subbed with coconut cream and the vegan chocolate chip cookie was just as decadent as the real deal. They'll be hosting a lot more events like poetry slams, kids' movies, book club movie screenings, and even a music video premiere for a famous local band! Stop by and check them out, we need more cozy spots that offer food and entertainment without having to dress up as you can see, I looked crazy since I'm trying to adjust back from HST to MST.

This place is great ! Me personally I like the laid back coffee shops with many accessories to complement the place. Great service and their Cafe de Olla excellent. The owner mentioned movie nights so I might come and try that out one of these days.

My first visit! LOVED IT! Great atmosphere and the most courteous staff. We were offered samples of the cafe de olla and hot chocolate (like grandma makes). Delish! I ordered one of each. Food was good and fresh--I had a frittata on croissant and my buddy had the most beautiful fresh salad. Will definitely be back--maybe towards the evening this time.
