Amé este café!! La relación precio calidad es insuperable. Los desayunos son abundantes y buenísimos. Preparados en el momento por la misma mujer que atiende. Éramos dos y pedimos dos café con leche, unas tostadas con aguacate y salmón, y un bowl de yogur con de todo. Un lugar con las tres b como pocos quedan: bueno, bonito y barato.
