Mejor lugar de la UAI. Tiene como plus que las ganancias se utilizarán para becas de l@s estudiantes, administrada por la federación. Muy buen proyecto, muchas estrellitas.

Muy bueno, el ambiente es muy chill. La musica y la amabilidad de la gente que atiende solo lo hace mejor. Excelente lugar para relajarse, juntarse o estudiar GG.

En la Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez no existía ningún lugar donde comer comida de calidad y a precios razonables, pero todo esto cambió con la llegada de La Aldea. El único lugar donde hacen café "de verdad" y preparado por gente calificada para que quede perfecto. Pero sin duda mi recomendación son los sándwich de queso crema y salame, no hay nada mejor en esta vida.
