My friend ordered a Calamari Sandwich, and a Turkey Sandwich with a coffee. The sandwiches were super good as well as the drinks. Overall nice location, it was not very busy. Our food came out very fast and they were very nice."

The prices are completely accesible and the restaurant is in a great location. You really need to try “Huevos rotos con bacon” and “Croissant Mixto”"

My husband got a ham and cheese sandwich, and he's had better before, but it was just okay! But the desserts are great, and I would recommend getting the desserts here mainly. Food is still good but nothing exceptional!"
