Goza Espresso Bar

Dropped in again recently, everything was as good as I remembered!!
‐--------

Stopped in for a coffee, decided on a latte and chocolate croissant. The latte was good, though not as hot as one would expect. However, it was delicious. The croissant had dark chocolate drizzled on top and the inside had warm liquid chocolate, pure deliciousness ❤. My one regret was that I couldn't lick the plate 😁. Excellent service, will definitely be back!

Between three of us visiting we ordered 10 different mixed drinks and 8 were amazing… so much so we returned a couple of days later…. Great place to sit down and relax, to have some nice drinks while people watching is deff a plus!! :) will return!

Do yourself a favor and treat yourself with the Pancetta!!! The pork belly with the sweet sauce tasted delicious. It was expensive but certainly worth it. It has a security guard so you can feel quite safe there.

I have been here 5 times and every time the attention has been superb. The food has come out tasty as well as the teas, coffees and juices. Recommended

Lovely patio dining out of the rain or in the sun. Great vegetarian Huevos Benedict and delicious sandwiches. Once I was offered (and accepted) a beer tasting from a new brewery. Great and friendly staff. Sometimes too many smokers.

We came to this place late evening just to grab a quick dinner after our long drive from Guayaquil. Service and food was great! Thé panini we ordered were one of the best I’ve tried. I usually don’t order them (especially in the US) but these ones were excellent! I would come back to this place one more time!

Located on the Historical Center, this great restaurant has a lot to offer; the food is delicious and the environment a plus!!!

Stopped for a cappuccino and Baileys on our walk about town yesterday, the vibe was top notch and busy, the bathroom was very nice and the cappuccino was very good, would go back for a meal as it always seems busy.

This is a great place to have some coffee, located right in front of the museum.

I had a great capuccino and i combined with a great apple dessert. This was the waitress’ recommendation and this was a great deal.

They also offer drinks and some menu options. I definetly recommend you this place if you are in cuenca.

The place has some tvs too and soft music

This here's a pretty lovely little cafe, mijo. We first visited Goza one chili evening, seeking refuge and warmth beneath the patio heat lamps. It's a very nice outside sitting area, not just for the heat lamps but for the spacious view of the street corner there. It's a great place to sit and sip and chat and stuff, which is doubtless why you always see so many people out there doing just that. My dear companion and I ordered one white chocolate mocha and one dark chocolate mocha so as to pay homage to the duality of things and the cosmic battle between good and evil, light and dark. We also ordered a dark chocolate cake, though, perhaps a manifestation of the historical and cosmological fact that there is more darkness than light and the darkness is winning the battle. However, we did our part to consume all of that darkness, a selfless, sacrificial act that betrays our good natures. The coffees were superb, especially the dark chocolate one—evil always tastes better. As for that chocolate torta, holy mackerel was that thing good. It was perfectly moist and delicious, and it sure paired nicely with the orange sorbet, the little blackberry mora, the crumbly crumbles, and the little purple flower petals. That chocolate cake was one of our best desserts in Cuenca. Now, we were a little late to take advantage of this special, and it was reasonably priced anyway, but hear ye hear ye: free coffee with postre between 2PM & 6PM!

Goza left such a great taste in our mouths that we returned a few days later to try some of their foodstuffs. It was high brunchtime at that time, so I went for a breakfast and my dear companion opted for a lunch. She got a 3-cheese pasta with added mushrooms and dried tomatoes, and she was mighty happy with her meal. I ordered the Shakshuka Middle Eastern style breakfast—poached eggs on a bed of "spicy" tomato and vegetable sauce—but despite the little chili icon on the menu indicating “spicy,” the dish was not even remotely spicy. In fact, it wasn't even temperature-hot. Additionally, despite the menu stating this dish entitled me to a free tea, it turned out only two teas were open to me: chamomile or peppermint, not the orange mint tea I desired. Thus was I cajoled into the peppermint tea, against my intuition. The tea was okay, but the best part of my meal was the side of bread and tahini sauce. However, aside from that Shakshuka breakfast I did not care for, Goza rocked our alpaca socks off, so, you know, just don't get the Shakshuka and you'll probably be happy. I still think Goza is good to go, so go ahead and go to Goza.

The atmosphere really fun and super cute... I went for dinner and it was a bit cold but its normal for cuenca and the restaurant had outdoor heat warmers which made a big difference... the food was awesome..very delicious and the canelazo drink was on point.. loved it...

It's a really beautiful corner in downtown. I strongly suggest going to this place. Staying outside is a very nice experience. You can take a break and relax while enjoying a coffee, a beer or a lemonade.

Perfect, relaxing coffee interlude. My mochaccino was wonderful. They also have food of all kinds, veggie or meat. Great place to people-watch and very nice wait staff. Can't wait to go back for lunch.

This was the last place I was in Cuenca before catching a flight back. Excellent coffee and drinks, perfect ambiance, and well-managed. Great place to start and end a day or a vacation.

If you looking go out and get a drink and have some food indoors or outdoors this is the spot. Great food the Argetinian steak is delicious and for the cool nights a Canelazo is your best choice. The staff is friendly and the place is very nice parking is a little bit complicated but overall great place to go with friends and family.

Nice cafe that serves coffee, tea, alcohol, food and deserts. Indoor and outdoor seating with heaters. Excellent service. We had the spinach crepes which was great.

Easily the best place to get a late evening drink/coffee/dessert or snack in the central Cuenca area. Excellent ambience, combined with great service and an impressive menu makes this a must visit cafe/bar in the city. Expect to pay the extra $ for the "enhanced experience".

Hot chocolate with a view of the square - perfect for a rainy Cuenca afternoon. The wifi is strong, the staff friendly and the drinks only slightly overpriced for what is an excellent venue. The food menu is varied and looked great - though we were only in for drinks. I definitely recommend this place.

Súper amazing place. We loved the cocktails pinata colada y chachai. We love Cuenca, we love Goza!

My husband and I have been here a handful of times in the last couple weeks. We've had mostly great service and the food and coffee (above average for Cuenca) is consistently good. Some of the staff does a better job of staying attentive during busier times; we were pretty much neglected during an exceptionally busy time when we sat upstairs.

I recommend the Panini Vegetariano (extremely flavorful with pesto, fresh veggies, olives and cheese) and the cheeseburger (nothing special, but the meat is seasoned well, fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion on a decent bun- good french fries). The limonada imperial (carbonated lemonade) is very refreshing and not too sweet. I found the Tres leches chocolate and strawberry milkshake to be a little ... mediocre.

Also, the bathroom has consistently been clean and stocked with soap, toilet paper, and paper towels ... often overlooked at local establishments :)
