Cafe La Fe recently debuted at 70 E. First St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.
Owner Yarissa Suarez was born and raised on the Lower East Side (Orchard Street) and lives on Norfolk Street.
On the menu, the empanadas, with various fillings, are the main draw here... along with an assortment of coffee drinks (via La Colombe) and juices. 
In this family-owned business, Yarissa will receive part-time assistance from her son Yaslir, who would like to be billed as "entertainer, cleaner and sous chef."
Cafe La Fe is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, with a 9 a.m. start on Saturday and Sunday.
The storefront was previously home to Pinky's Space.
