Cafe y Bar La Julieta

The Oriente


Macas' only proper cafe, La Julieta serves great coffees (including an interesting maple coffee), cheesecakes and brownies, salads and sandwiches with influences from both the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The space is modern, and on a pedestrian street (no honking buses or taxis).
