"I came at 6:30 pm on my first day in Ibague to Sonata Cafe … the atmosphere was stunning … despite being on a corner of two streets but the adjacent souvenir shops and trees with landscape on another side contributes to memorable time. People (especially young men and women) keep coming. I ordered the cafe latte and it was perfect. The only suggestion is to increase number of waiters … there was only one … he is great but he cannot catch up with all these guests."

"Muy bien ubicado, junto a la concha acústica. Logra ser tranquilo y a la vez hace parte del movimiento cultural de la ciudad musical de Colombia. Música variada, personas interesantes a la vista. Es decir, cada mesa parece tener una historia maravillosa. La atención es muy esmerada y formal. La variedad del menú es variada al rededor de café y licores."
