This place is so beautiful and relaxing, the staff so warm and kind, and the Guatemalan baleada with beef so delicious. And with such great prices, to boot, I will definitely be coming back!

Our first visit to Jurniors cafe was prompted by my brother's enthusiastic recommendations, and we were delighted by the warm hospitality extended by our waitress, Prisles. Nevertheless, the true standout aspects of our dining experience were the delectable creations crafted by the chef and kitchen staff. The special salmon dish was truly exceptional, and my parents were equally impressed by the soup of res, which closely resembled traditional Guatemalan cuisine. Furthermore, the tacos, empanadas, and sweet rellenitos were all expertly prepared. Our sole suggestion for enhancement would be to augment the menu with a more extensive selection of Guatemalan dishes, as the current offerings are somewhat limited. Overall, we highly recommend Jurniors cafe.

My sister and I stumbled upon this amazing Guatemalan restaurant, and we’re so glad we did! First off, the place was spotless—super clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. It has such an intimate vibe that makes it perfect whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner—or even if you just want a quiet spot to work. The young lady who served us was absolutely wonderful—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. This was our first time trying Guatemalan food, and every bite was packed with flavor. We loved it! I’ll definitely be coming back again soon.

Nothing but good things to say. My boyfriend & I came here for lunch and were pleased by how clean the cafe was. The vibes were 10/10. The papusas here were definitely my favorite item along with the tamale. Best I’ve had in a while. Everything was fresh and steaming. We also got friend plantains with guac. Pretty good. Chicken cheesesteak was al 9/10. Drinks we got the horchata coffee & raspberry iced tea. Pleasantly surprised by both. Cannot stop recommending this place. My new fav go to spot.
