La mejor cafetería que he conocido en Chiloé; café de grano, calidad en tortas y en el pan, la atención excelente y el ambiente muy grato y ameno. Cada vez que ando por Chonchi visito este lugar y siempre me voy muy agradecida. Lo recomiendo a ojos cerrados. Pdt: el azúcar disponible es marca Iansa, la auténtica

Fuimos ayer con mi esposo y mi hijo de un año, nos atendieron muy bien, el lugar es precioso! El café exquisito y probamos la torta de higos, uffff un sueño! Me quería llevar una torta entera para la casa! Además era la hora de almuerzo de nuestro hijo y nos ofrecieron la crema de zapallo natural, sin aliños y en un platito pequeño para él, así que más que agradecidos por la consideración. Fue nuestra primera visita a Chonchi y ya queremos volver.

Great place! Service was awesome! Very good and tasty coffee... But you should be a big fan of country music and John Denver to stay more than 30 minutes!

The Café and Museum "La Tetería" is a jewel found in Chonchi (Chiloé island). If you find yourself in this place, the visit is a must. Incredible ambient, and very tasty food. The attention of María was remarkable. Very recommended place. The only comment is that not all the menu alternatives were available. But the available were very good.

Cafeteria museo en donde podrás encontrar cafecito, kuchen, quesos y varias cositas como "de regalo". Atención rápida y cordial, al parecer sus helados son deliciosos porque mucha gente llegaba preguntando por ellos. La cafetería no posee carta pues no todos los días posee los mismos productos por lo que deberas preguntar. Algo que no me gustó fue el detalle de la cuenta, pues al momento de pagar solo te entregan el monto a cancelar, por lo que si te gusta la transparencia en precios es mejor pedir el detalle de la boleta. Recomiendo mucho el kuchen pues estaba delicioso

Agradable lugar para disfrutar de un rico te/cafe dado que además de tener vista despejada, la decoración del lugar es atractiva y entretenida. Cuenta con terraza exterior (parte trasera) y 2 piso ( no pude verlo porque estaba cerrado). La atención es ágil. Me pedí una tetera y un chescase y rico y fresco. Valores moderados.
