CITY SEARCH SAYS: In keeping with its Columbian roots, this charming cafe's takeout menu translates the word Greenpoint into its Spanish equivalent, Puntaverde. Bright yellow walls, local artwork and couches set a festive scene for consuming iced cafe con leche and sampling the arepas--the Alimbar packs ham, queso blanco and guava, while the Medellin appeases vegetarians with cranberry beans and green plantains. Seven kinds of salads and sandwiches made with Petrossian bread provide further fuel for bopping along to DJ-provided beats.
Comments
The place has been renovated and now looks great and very gay-welcoming! I spoke to one of the owners and he say he's proud that his place is the ONLY Colombian tapas and wine bar in the entire city of NY (cool...right here in my 'hood) They now have EXTENDED HOURS to MIDNITE. I tried the shrimp Calena and caviar Millonaria tapas and they ROCK! My date tried the Tolima (pork) and Puntaverde (tofu) and he loved'em. The South American wine selection is excellent too... Thumbs up for the new Cafecito Bogota!!

This place started out at 0 and worked its way to a 9/10 in my eyes. Good food, improved seating- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
