CCS Coffee ShopB-Worth Trying
Bernardo de Irigoyen 356, C1072AAH Cdad. Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina

Delivery · Takeout
Lively Venezuelan-leaning cafe known for empanadas, avocado toast, and warm staff, but with recurring service and billing issues; good value snacks if you are patient and verify the check.
Why it gets a B- for overall quality
CCS Coffee Shop delivers reliable quality for a casual neighborhood cafe, with strong food quality in Venezuelan pastries and empanadas and reasonable pricing that appeal to both tourists and regulars. However, inconsistent execution between morning and evening shifts and uneven service attentiveness prevent higher marks—some diners praise named staff warmly while others report delays and billing issues. Best experienced during daytime hours when quality and service align most reliably.
Restaurant Summary
In a central stretch near 9 de Julio, CCS Coffee Shop feels warm and bustling with a counter-first flow, pastry cases, and a steady hum of travelers and locals. Reviewers rave about friendly staff by name, noting, "They made ordering easy even with my basic Spanish," while others report slow counter service and occasional confusion at checkout. The cooking leans Venezuelan comfort with empanadas, tequeños, and golfeados, plus cafe staples like avocado toast and classic breakfasts. Expect straightforward flavors rather than high-wire creativity; when fresh, the bakes shine, though a few diners mention reheated items at busy times. It is a solid pick for a simple, satisfying snack or casual breakfast. Families should find it manageable: kids often go for tequeños and cookies, while picky eaters can default to croissants, burgers, or plain empanadas. There is no explicit kids menu, but the menu has many familiar items; just be mindful that service may be slower at peak times and check the bill carefully.
