Interesting drinks and entrees and artifacts to look at while you're eating.
It may be an exaggeration to say that this place alone is worth the trip to Jachal but it is great. The cafe has been operating since 1928 and clearly has not had a single fixture added or removed since that date. Even the staff and customers might have been there since then.
The coffee is good but do try the patay which is a traditional food made by the African slaves.
Really a bar but serves a good pizza if you are looking to eat before the restaurants on the other side of the plaza open. There is a pleasant eating area out the back.

Has an attractive exterior and foyer but very popular and often sold out
