La Caffetteria di Lonato

It sits at Av. Santa Cruz 1296, on the Miraflores stretch running up toward Óvalo Gutiérrez, and takes its name from the café that operates under the main grandstand of the Lonato kart track in Italy; the house sums up its pitch as food at any hour of the day in a racing-themed setting. The menu covers breakfasts, pastas, pizzas and salads, and the items Google flags as popular are the hot chocolate and the Nutella cheesecake. Our read: this is a neighbourhood café-restaurant rather than a specialty coffee bar, and its real edge is the schedule — 7am to 11pm every day, so it works equally for breakfast, a working stint or dinner with no planning. It has free wifi, allows dogs, offers high chairs and a kids' menu, and Google credits it with free on-site parking with enough space, which is rare in that part of Miraflores. Curation note: the menu published on the website carries no prices, so the menu is pending a second pass.
