Tulum is one of the most exotic places in the city of Barquisimeto. It is located in the financial area of the city and stands out for having an attractive concept. Coincidentally, I thought it was a place only to enjoy a good meal; however, in this place they have an area dedicated to enjoying a good coffee according to them on the second floor (actually, it would be floor one, since the previous floor would be floor 0).
Another aspect, important, is that my younger brother worked in the old place that was located here. It was previously called Chilanga.
I hadn't been out for a month or so to have a good coffee somewhere in the city. The crazy thing is that work was taking a lot of things away, but evidently I had to go out to be able to recreate myself a little and enjoy my only vice: coffee.
I don't drink a lot of alcohol; I won't deny that I love whiskey and cocktails, and I smoked a little when I was in law school (I quit; it's not productive at all and even less good for my health). I mention this because my passion for coffee goes beyond anything else. To recap, I went with my uncle and my brother to Tulum.

The corridor at the entrance of Tulum is notable for having an attractive face protruding from the wall; it is also next to the stairs. I did not detail exactly if it was made of clay. Also, as you go up the stairs, you can see at the top a moon molded into the wall, very attractive.
The area of Tulum, dedicated to coffee, stands out not only for highlighting this part, but it also has an area of art galleries. The concept is really attractive. Tulum is specifically located between Araguaney Street and Concordia Avenue in the Urbanization of the East of Barquisimeto (on a corner, on the side of the Sambil shopping mall).
As you enter the cafeteria part of the place, you are enveloped by the concept of the place. Near the stairs, there is a wall with several doors. Each of these doors has a characteristic artwork that invites you to open it to perceive what is behind them.

What is behind is an art gallery. Where each customer can write or paint whatever they want on the walls. Likewise, each client can buy a canvas and start painting there. Canvases cost 10, 20 and 30 USD or HBD. They are not canvases with wooden backing; it is purely the frame. I used to paint in oil, acrylic, watercolor and graphite. I know a little about the subject.
The interior of Tulum stands out for having a harmony with the elements. The pastel color of the walls gives calm and generates a remarkable relationship with every detail that was used for decoration. The cushioned furniture is comfortable; however, the chairs are very uncomfortable. I do not recommend sitting in them.

Initially, we did this and had to move to the furniture at the end of the cafeteria. Important aspect: the pictures from there come out perfect due to the fact that they are not affected by the light.
At the initial table where we sat, the waiter placed the menu that should be displayed when scanning the QR code. If not, you should ask the waiter. The waiter was very friendly and cordial. I tried to take screenshots of the menu and the layout of the page where it was posted and could not. The page had a block that did not allow this option on my phone.
On the menu, there was no coffee that my brother and I ordered: frappuccino. I asked the waiter if they sold cold coffees, and the frappuccino was the only one offered. My uncle ordered, on this occasion, an espresso. The menu had several desserts that caught my eye. In my case, I wanted a carrot cake, but the waiter told me they didn't have any.
He quickly apologized and told me that he would go to the bar to ask what desserts they had available. When she returned, she indicated that they only had three desserts available: a) Strawberry Cheesecake, b) Ovomaltine Cheesecake and c) Triple Chocolate Cake. There were no other options available because the pastry chef was ill. That's what the waiter who served us told me.

I decided to order a Triple Chocolate cake, which was priced at 8 USD or HBD (a bit pricey, but it was big enough for three people). Our order took about 8 minutes. It was really fast.
The first thing they placed on the table were the two frappuccino (I forgot to mention that each one is priced at 6 USD or HBD). Then they placed my uncle's espresso coffee and the cake. I must emphasize that the taste of the frappuccino was very nice, the decoration was amazing, and it highlighted the elegance and dedication in making it.
I really liked the presentation detail of the frappuccino. Its flavor was very well-balanced; a cold coffee is always good! In the case of the cake, it was the perfect combination, as it was made with three types of chocolate, and the one in the center was the most delicious. The taste of the cake with the frappuccino had a good harmony.

In the case of my uncle's espresso, he told me it was good. He always orders these coffees that are neutral and do not have high amounts of sugar or liquid milk.
The bill came to a total of 23 USD or HBD, but I left some tip, so I spent 26 USD or HBD. I paid in Venezuelan legal tender. Tulum is a cozy place that surprises with its interior design, diverse mix of elements, and enveloping quality service. It is a perfect place to enjoy a good coffee and chat. I hope you can visit it and feel its exotic touch.

SPANISH VERSION (click here!)
Tulum es uno de los lugares más exóticos de la ciudad de Barquisimeto. Se encuentra en la zona financiera de la ciudad y destaca por tener un concepto atrayente. Casualmente, pensé que era un lugar únicamente para disfrutar una buena comida; sin embargo, en éste lugar tienen un área dedicada para disfrutar un buen café según ellos en el segundo piso (en realidad sería el primer piso, ya que lo anterior sería la planta baja o piso 0. Cosas de arquitectura).
Otro aspecto, importante, es que mi hermano menor trabajó en el antiguo local que se encontraba aquí. Anteriormente se llamaba Chilanga.
Tenía casi un mes aproximadamente que no salía a tomarme un buen café en algún lugar de la ciudad. Lo más descabellado es que el trabajo estaba mermando muchas cosas; pero evidentemente debía salir para poder recrearme un poco y disfrutar de mi único vicio: El café.
Yo no soy de tomar mucho alcohol, no les negaré que me encanta el whiskey, los cocteles, y fumé un poco cuando estaba en la facultad de derecho (esto lo dejé, no es nada productivo y menos bueno para la salud). Comento esto debido a que mi pasión por el café va más allá de cualquier cosa. Recapitulo, fui acompañado a Tulum con mi tío, y mi hermano.
El corredor de la entrada de Tulum destaca por tener una cara atractiva que sobresale de la pared; además ésta junto a las escaleras. No detallé exactamente si estaba hecha de arcilla. Igualmente, al subir las escaleras puede notarse en la parte superior una Luna moldeada en la pared. Muy atractivo.
El área de Tulum, dedicada al café, destaca no sólo por resaltar ésta parte; sino que posee además un área de galerías de arte. El concepto es realmente atractivo. Tulum se encuentra específicamente ubicado entre la calle Araguaney y la Avenida Concordia de la Urbanización del Este de Barquisimeto (en una esquina, lateralmente del centro comercial Sambil).
Al entrar a la parte de la cafetería te envuelve el concepto del lugar. Cerca de las escaleras hay una pared con varias puertas. Cada una de éstas puertas posee un arte característico que te invita a abrirla para percibir lo que hay detrás de ellas.
Lo que está posteriormente es una galería de arte. Donde cada cliente puede escribir o pintar lo que quiera en las paredes. Igualmente, cada cliente puede comprar un lienzo y comenzar a pintar allí. Los lienzos cuestan 10, 20 y 30 USD o HBD. No son lienzos con respaldo de madera; es puramente el bastidor. Yo solía pintar en óleo, acrílico, acuarela y grafito. Sé un poco del tema.
El interior de Tulum destaca por tener una armonía con los elementos. El color pastel de las paredes da calma y genera una relación notable con cada detalle que se utilizó para la decoración. Los muebles acolchados son cómodos; sin embargo, las sillas son muy incómodas. No recomiendo sentarse en ellas.
Inicialmente, lo hicimos y tuvimos que cambiarnos a los muebles de la parte final de la cafetería. Aspecto importante, las fotografías desde allí salen perfectas debido a que no se ven afectadas por la luz.
En la mesa inicial donde nos sentamos, el mesero colocó el menú que debe visualizarse al escanear el código QR. En caso de no hacerlo, debe preguntárselo al mesero. El mesero fue muy amable y cordial. Intenté hacer capturas de pantallas al menú y del diseño de la página donde estaba colgado y no pude. La página tenía un bloqueo que no permitía ésta opción a mi teléfono.
En el menú no se encontraba el café que ordenamos mi hermano y yo. Éste era un frappuccino. Pregunté al mesero si vendían cafés fríos y el frappuccino fue el único que me ofrecieron. Mi tío ordenó, en esta ocasión, un café espresso. El menú tenía varios postres que llamaban la atención. En mi caso quería un pastel de zanahoria; pero el mesero me indicó que no tenían disponible.
Rápidamente, me pidió disculpas y me dijo que se dirigiría a la barra para preguntar qué postres tenían disponibles. Al regresar me indicó que solamente tenían tres postres disponibles: a) Cheesecake de Fresas, b) Cheesecake de Ovomaltina y c) Pastel de Triple Chocolate. No había otras opciones disponibles debido a que el repostero se encontraba enfermo. Eso me comentó el mesero que nos atendió.
Decidí pedir un pastel de Triple Chocolate que tenía un precio de 8 USD o HBD (algo caro, pero era lo suficiente grande para tres personas). Nuestro pedido tardó aproximadamente unos 8 minutos. Fue realmente rápido.
Lo primero que colocaron en la mesa fue los dos frappuccino (se me olvido comentar que cada uno tiene el precio de 6 USD o HBD). Posterior colocaron el café espresso de mi tío y el pastel. Debo destacar que el sabor del frappuccino era muy agradable, la decoración era increíble, resaltaba la elegancia y dedicación al elaborarlo.
Me gustó mucho el detalle de presentación del frappuccino. Su sabor estaba muy bien equilibrado. ¡Un café frío siempre es bueno! En el caso del pastel, fue la combinación perfecta, ya que estaba hecho con tres tipos de chocolate y el del centro era el más delicioso. El sabor del pastel con el frappuccino tenía una buena armonía.
En el caso del espresso de mi tío, me comentó que estaba bueno. Él siempre ordena de tomar estos cafés neutros y que no tienen altas cantidades de azúcar o leche líquida.
La cuenta dio un total de 23 USD o HBD; pero dejé algo de propina, así que gasté 26 USD o HBD, pagué en moneda de curso legal venezolana. Tulum es un lugar acogedor que sorprende por su interiorismo, mezcla diversa de elementos y un servicio de calidad envolvente. Es un lugar perfecto para disfrutar de un buen café y conversar. Espero que lo puedas visitar y sentir su toque exótico.

Hey @neruel you are welcome.
Thanks for using @worldmappin 😘
For me a marvel! 😍
❤️❤️
I reckon caffeine isn't such a bad guilty pleasure, but maybe I'm biased! :D Especially in such a pretty place :)
hahahahahaha we are biased. In that respect, I can't object. The place is charming. And the coffee is tasty, perfect for relaxing.
Thanks to you; it is always a pleasure to be able to write and share every experience.
I am a coffee lover but I have always drunk it hot. I would like to try it cold
I hope you can go and enjoy
The restaurant vibe looks very cozy, coffee and cake are the perfect combo
The place is very pleasant. The decoration and each element combines very well. I liked
Todo luce lindisimo y delicioso!!!😍
Indeed, it is
What captivating art and decor! I particularly like the piece in the doorway (Or is the canvas just made to look like a filled doorway, hmm...) it reminds me of my days being a waitress haha!
In general this space is just gorgeous, and the offerings look incredible as well! Thanks for sharing your outing, I hope you are able to go out and enjoy coffee again before too long... It is difficult when work keeps us from the things we enjoy the most.
It is a place with many expressions. Perfect to enjoy something unique, and connect with you. I didn't fully notice. But the remarkable thing is the artistic and elegant.
Totally, it's a place worth visiting for a good coffee. It's hard, this month is going to be a bit difficult, as there will be a lot of work. I'll make room, I'll try hahahahahaha. Glad you liked the post and the place.
