Muy buen bar, con instalaciones acogedoras y un servicio atento. Café... igual que en muchos lados. Tiene todo para convertirse en un excelente Coffee Shop donde servir café de especialidad, es decir, un café cultivado, seleccionado y preparado con altos estándares de calidad, respetando su origen y perfil de sabor. En muchos países, y cada vez más en España, los cafés de especialidad se distinguen por su trazabilidad, métodos de extracción precisos y el uso de granos con altas puntuaciones en catas profesionales.

Gran sitio para comer o desayunar, han debido de cambiar el dueño y el camarero y el trato es exquisito, la calidad de la comida es muy buena y por un precio muy asequible, se nota que son expertos en cafés (el mejor que he tomado en mucho tiempo). 100% recomendable
