El Café de Acá
An all-day café in a garden house in Villa Morra, a good place to try mbeyú cassava pancakes and chipa, with caramelized mate tea.
The flagship opened in 2009 in Villa Morra, at the corner of Tte. Héctor Vera and Dr. Morra streets, in a garden house. It serves breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea. Specialties are Paraguayan snacks: mbeyú cassava-starch pancakes, various chipas, chipa guasú and sopa chipa, served with caramelized roasted mate tea (cocido quemado) or iced tereré, plus international light meals. Prices are affordable, and it's a good spot to experience a Paraguayan afternoon tea. The city also has branches in Jara and Los Laureles.
