Highlights

• Delicious Food & Beautiful Ambiance: Excellent pizza, beautiful courtyard patio with a covered sunroof so it’s dry in rain. The café features music supplied by random karaoke on TV and a lovely fountain.
• Incredible Coffee & Wholesome Menu: What an amazing find in this wonderful city! The coffee is incredible black or creamy. They have the most beautiful bread and pastries we have found. Also, the pizza in the courtyard is a very special dinner.
• Warm & Homey Atmosphere: What a cute little café on Calle Galle Moreno! Crusty baguette sandwiches and delish desserts and coffee. A lovely lady runs it and her sweet daughter sat doing her homework on one of the tables. It was such a comfortable & homey ambience. Loved it and highly recommend it!
• Culinary Delight & Cultural Experience: Crustum was one of the highlights of our trip to Quito. Delicious fresh bread, bakery products, coffee, refreshing drinks, and traditional Ecuadorian cuisine highlighted by a master chef. A special experience in a classical room upstairs within the same building. Highly recommended for bakery, coffee, lunch, or private dining. 5 stars!
