What people say
"A great far tucked in an intimate plaza in the Gotic district. They have great breakfasts/brunch offerings. From healthy to indulgent. I’ve been coming already for a few years and the islote and service is always great. This time I had an Açaí Bowl with peanut butter and an espresso tonic. You can seat inside or outside, it’s great for meeting friends or working on your laptop."
