Havanna

As a dedicated fan of Havanna alfajores for nearly five years, I was eager to try their Mar de Plata variety. However, my experience left much to be desired. While the Super Dulce de Leche remains a masterpiece, the Mar de Plata fell short of expectations. The advertised "creamy" filling proved to be a far cry from the luscious caramel or toffee consistency depicted in promotional materials. Instead, it resembled a lackluster, highly processed "cream" that failed to deliver on flavor and texture. To add to the disappointment, the pricing structure seemed unjustifiable. It was perplexing to discover that purchasing a box of eight Mar de Plata alfajores was more expensive than buying them individually. This pricing strategy, common among Argentine companies, left me questioning the integrity of the brand. Moreover, considering the premium price tag attached to these alfajores, one would expect top-quality ingredients. However, the reality fell short, suggesting a marketing ploy aimed at exploiting uninformed customers. Additionally, interacting with Havanna's indifferent, unengaged staff at some locations contributes to the overall dissatisfaction and less than enjoyable experience. In conclusion, while Havanna's Super Dulce de Leche remains a standout, the Mar de Plata special edition fails to live up to expectations. Disappointing both in quality and pricing. It appears to be a textbook case of style over substance wrapped in a lousy marketing ploy to deliver a subpar product.

Coffees are undrinkable. I ordered an iced coffee that wasn’t cold and watery. I could not taste the coffee. Chocolate milk same story, no flavor. And then they sold me a box of alfajores that were expired. Terrible experience.

A perfect café network. Even though it's a famous quality brand here, their prices are fair; much better than Starbucks!

Very very busy coffee shop at the time we were there.
