Taking inspiration from small New York theatres like Spectacle and El Paso’s own Fellini Film Café, Aaron and George’s aims to provide an inviting space for film lovers to enjoy offbeat, classic and independent films.

Aaron and George’s Film Cafe will serve a variety of sandwiches, salads and fountain-style beverages. The gem of their drink menu is the Egg Cream, an iconic New York City beverage that is getting an El Paso twist. Stop by to try this refreshing beverage made of U-Bet Chocolate syrup, milk and Topo Chico!

Aaron and George's Film Cafe is dedicated to the memory of their grandfather's, Aaron Schwartz.

And George Haims.

Both worked in the restaurant business and shared their love of food and family with owners Douglas and Rebecca. Family inspired and owned businesses are the heart and soul of El Paso!
