Café Cliché

Cute, comfortable, funky, atmosphere delicious food. I think the croissant was the best I’ve ever had. I had the full meal and everything was delicious. And very affordable. And the people were very nice. I will be back.

Nice and peaceful. Came here after work for a relax, it’s quiet and a great atmosphere. Had the coconut lemonade which was lovely and the poutine which was okay, not enough cheese for me

Remote Office Review for Work / Study
🔗 wifi/internet —kind of weak but there were a few people on the internet (I wonder if it was because we were outside in the back patio)
🔌 outlets — couldn’t see any
🍵coffee — food was absolutely delicious!!!
🖼setting — FRENCH — the indoors is pretty dark library vibes but the back patio is spacious and dog friendly

Met with a friend for lunch, we had the executive lunch which is different every day. It was very good. Definitely will be back for more.

Amazing place. Very delicious food, we had lasagna and tapas, also summer wine. The prices are good and a great service

I loved the beet based veggie burger so much. Ordered it with the tartar sauce. My boyfriend got the menu of the day with an amazing carrot soup, trout, salad and fried yuca. They also had a vegetarian menu of the day option and you can get the veggie burger vegan! Everything was so good!

My absolute favorite cafe and place to hang out in Laureles! Such a cool vibe, great coffee, and fast and friendly service. I'd be happy to spend a day here working. They have a menu del dia that varies by month and also options for charcuterie platters.

I like this spot for an after dinner drink. Their chai tea is the best. Cozy spot. Cash or bank transfer only.

Beautiful. Amazing ambiance. Totally unique. Everything is delicious.

Let's see how many cliches we can fit into one review:

Cafe Cliche is a hipster French cafe/restaurant in Laureles. It is simple yet elegant (1), with a funky, cozy interior (2).

The menus del dia Kim and I had there were to die for (3). Offering vegetarian and meat options both for 14,000 COP, there’s something for everyone (4).

We had both soups and they were delectable (5). The cream of spinach was silky smooth (7) and the chickpea, pork fat, white and green onion soup was pure nom! (8)

My beef was cooked to perfection (9) and the fried potatoes were carb-tastic (10). Kim had the vegetarian option, which was a cornucopia (11) of flavors and colors.

And we washed it all down (12) with a pineapple-berry mixed juice.

While it’s not part of the lunch special, you might want to save room for (13) one of their decadent desserts (14) like the the volcan au chocolat. It quite simply melts in your mouth (15).

[That’s 15 cliches. And I mean every one]

Final Score: 9 (8 Value, 10 Quality)

I feel very comfortable in this place. Whether to work remotely or to enjoy with my friends.

I love the crème brûlée and the service is very warm from the staff.

Amazing place, good music, good menu, delicious French taste.

A great cafe in a beautiful part of Medellín. The Mediflette is delicious. I recommend sitting on the back patio, which is covered and cool.

Super nice vibes in their back garden-like area. Chill and attentive service. And the food was really good. Delicious giant Limonada de Coco hit the spot right! I was bummed I didn’t get to try breakfast here since they closed down for the holidays the next day but hope to come back at some point. Just one downside was they excepted cash only so be mindful of that.

This is a place you don't want to leave! Great ambient, food, prices, staff. I'd definitely come back!

Went there just for coffee and sweet treat today. They seemed to have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options, so going to get dinner there too. The people who served me were super friendly and helpful. Thanks :)

Nice restaurant. The Boeuf Bourguignon was tasty!

Great place to have lunch, dinner and grab a delicious dessert. They serve tapas and baked potatoes.

Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. The desert was all delicious, mouth-watering, break-your-diet treats (I was part of a group, so yes, I tried one of each). For dinner, I had a chicken curry crepe, and I savored each bite! For lunch the next day, I had a very flavorful soup with pumpkin! Yum!

Delicious and a total treat for cheap! My friend and i were ecstatic to find proper cheese and cold cuts. So I recommend the cheese and meat platters. The owner is French, so you can trust he knows his cheese and charcuterie. Drink wise I’m sure everything is great, but i recommend the house red and the G&Ts.
