Desayunamos muy a gusto tortilla, bollería y café en la terraza (5 mesas, 3 de la cuales en una plaza con columpios). Buena relación calidad/ precio y atención. Para repetir sin duda.

Cafetería de 10. El café estaba buenísimo, y los pasteles de calidad. Desayuné fuera con el perro, y la atención por parte de la dueña muy cercana. Volveré seguro.

Es una degustaccion, muy agradable, limpieza un 10 y un trato personal estupendo. Vamos, casi, todos los días a excepción de los martes, ya qué es su día de descanso semanal. Lo recomiendo, totalmente.

Trato exquisito!!! Las pastas, pasteles súper ricos pero las palmeras de coco se salen!!! Recomendable 100% para el cafecito en la terraza o un pote con la Kuadri!!
