"So so good! I have eaten a few times now and will continue to go back. The empanadas are the best I’ve ever had especially with their homemade sauces. Coffee drinks are delicious! Today I had the caramel apple macchiato and it was so perfect. Everything is just so tasty and it’s a perfect unique Place to eat in Dubuque! The Arepas are also a favorite! YUM. I love the quaint atmosphere. Everything is done with quality!"

"Great for breakfast OR lunch! Arepitas, mini donuts, pandebono, pastel gloria (delicious pastry!), and really anything on the menu alongside a coffee drink makes an awesome breakfast. Empanadas, arepitas, perro caliente, and again, anything on the menu with any of their limeades or drinks makes for a great and cheap lunch! Lunch doesn’t need to be sandwiches when you go to Papi’s!"

"Stopped by Papi’s Cafe after an event at the library and was completely blown away. The environment is so friendly and welcoming, and the food was incredible. I brought home empanaditas for my three very picky kids and they devoured them—always the ultimate test! Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back."

"I haven’t had a chance to try the food yet, but if it’s anything like their drinks, I can’t wait. The golden latte is perfectly smooth and well balance. And the limeade is super refreshing and bright. I always make sure to stop here while I'm on a brain break/walk from work. The cafe itself is quaint and inviting, the kind of place that makes you want to stick around. The staff is genuinely kind, and you can tell they work well together, always stepping in to help one another and making the atmosphere feel warm and welcoming. Dubuque is really lucky to have this little gem. I’m already looking forward to my next visit."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow, this place is easily the best I’ve found in the Dubuque area. I’ve been to Colombia many times, so it was such a great surprise to come across a spot with truly authentic Colombian food, amazing coffee, and delicious sweets. Everything tastes just right and at the right prices. The people here are incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. It’s the kind of place that just feels good to be in. Since discovering it last week, I’ve already been back four times 😅 It’s definitely a must-visit if you’re in Dubuque the orange juice, arepas and empanadas are a must! Also, super convenient that they sell colectivo coffee beans so no more trips to Madison needed 🥳"
