Great place to stop for a pastry and a cola. Maybe an aperol Spritz but it was early.

No issues at all so not sure about other reviews. Had savoury breakfast and was perfect! Friendly service and fair prices, cards accepted but cash is king!

We came early for breakfast with our little one, great food, friendly staff, and by far the best atmosphere among the options nearby, with comfy sofas and air conditioning inside.
