I am biased because my friends own & operate this cafe, but I can remember the 1st time I met them. They have a knack for making a shy Japanese artist feel comfortable. And when you think about it, after all the coffee and cakes you ate, it's the vibe of a place that makes you want to come back tomorrow. Congrats Jose & Norine!!!

Jose, the owner, has a soothing personality. He makes everyone feel at home. The special events they do around cultural and political issues provide an opportunity to get a sense of community. The art is unique and representative of the struggle of others we are detached from. I go to Cafe Bolivar on days when I need a spiritual boost and it never fails. I call it my therapy.

The atmosphere (eclectic), the food (exotic) and the service (top notch!) Add funky music, great coffee and a dash of who's-that-over-there? Love the art!!

I recommend CB to simply everyone. The Latte's are incredible. Staff is excellent on all levels! The art work is exciting and challenges individuals to think...a novel idea. Truly a local cafe with an international flavor.
