AMAZING!! empanadas are great, coffee is wonderful, owner and staff are fantastic. Love this place!
We split four empanadas: the spinach & cheese, the Mediterranean, the chicken & mushrooms, and the traditional Peruvian. They were all great, but between two people, you'll wanna plan to order more. Would be nice if they offered some side dishes too, and apparently they don't have plates.
They’re open early. It’s clean and the staff are always swift and pleasant. The empanadas are fantastic and they have a variety (some savory, some sweet; great breakfast selections). The coffee is good too. This place is excellent.
Empanandas are always a treat for us ( hearty breakfast or lunch). The selection is good and includes a Mediterranean.
I stop by, there's always a good selection. The wait is a few minutes while they are warmed, but you can take them cold and heat at home.
Also has a good expresso drinks.
A casual place in a strip mall serving very tasty and a variety of empanadas. I tried their breakfast sausage empanadas and two of their sweet empanadas. Very tasty and filling. Their drip coffee and barista made coffee are also great. Warm and friendly service. Highly recommend BigE cafe.

I ordered a chicken empanada and a steak empanada. The chicken empanada was big in size, had great taste, and was filling. They're definitely was more meat than crust which was a surprise for me. As for the steak empanada, the taste was not what I expected. There is green olives, raisins, and onions with the steak. In my opinion the raisins and the olives were an off-putting taste for me but that is me. Again this empanada was filled with plenty of steak and on both of the empanadas the crust was very tasty and slightly buttery. Of course I only had the two for the savory empanadas but the dessert apple cranberry was an absolute must have again. The apples were largely diced, the filling was smooth but not too sugary, and once again it was the right amount of filling for the amount of crust. I do want to go back and try some other ones because the empanadas overall were very savory and filling. Big e Cafe has the feeling of a small coffee house but surprisingly has very filling foods. Definitely going to try again!
Very delicious Empanadas. Tried the 2 traditional ones. Full of flavor and not too heavy.
The staff are very friendly.
Easy to park.
Great service! Went in for an empanada for breakfast and ended up taking 3. Deliciouss goin
Empanadas are delicious but I think Milohas down the street is what I would recommend. I guess it depends on what your taste buds prefer. Otherwise I see lots of customers and pretty tempting empanadas. I ordered the Thai and gyro ones, they were okay 👌.
I love empanadas. The cafe has great selections, tasty flavors, the prices are reasonable, the dough and filling ratio is perfect, and the empanadas size is large. I highly recommend this cafe.
