Reviews
"Always friendly and fast service. The food is fantastic and there are plenty of options to try, from meals to snacks. Everything tastes super fresh and coffee is also fantastic!! Try as many empanadas as you can~~"
"There are hundreds of places in Canberra that claim to have “the best coffee in town”, but there is only one place that I know of that claims to have the “second best coffee in town”! Nestled near the light rail stop in Gungahlin is a amazingly awesome empanada joint that has me reminiscing of grandma’s cooking with every bite of their food. The food is locally made and fresh (few places can claim that nowadays), with a huge range of empanadas including vegetarian and vegan. I have yet to meet an empanada I didn’t like, and I’ve nearly tried them all! They have a regular menu as well with quite possibly the best waffles in town from a choice of sweet to savory. They have an all day menu as well, but if you’re fortunate enough to come on a weekend you’re treated to a special on the menu that hails from somewhere in Latin America that is absolutely delicious. Andre, the owner, is very welcoming and engaging and will happily help anyone out who is trying out empanadas for the first time. La Empanada has a great family feel, and even though their title for Second Best Coffee is undisputed, I personally feel they’re a contender for the best in Canberra."
"Delicious South American food. The empanadas are fresh and very tasty. I had the vegan burger (Fable mushroom meat) and the sweet potato lentil, both delicious. Coffee is also good. Friendly and helpful staff, fast service. Will definitely come to back."
"OMG the hugest cup of coffee I have ever seen. Colombia supermo beans, was very nice. Delicious empanadas in a amazing variety of flavours. Cheese burger was good plain beer was better. The scrambled eggs were light and fluffy. Small amount of seating indoors and out. Happy friendly staff."
"It’s so nice to be able to taste some of the South American specialties in a friendly place. This one is clean and has a variety of empanadas and they are all delicious. Service was quick but not without personality and the smiles definitely added to the experience. It’s clear that they care. Desserts are must try too. On-site coffee was as good as the rest. Recommended."
