What people say
"The café is small and has a really charming atmosphere, but the prices are more on the touristy side—about €3.5 for an allongé and €4 for a noisette. I personally don’t enjoy acidic coffee, and unfortunately, the coffee here was too sour for my taste. The place seems quite touristy now, and perhaps because of that, the staff felt a bit distant and not very friendly. Still, if you want to experience the vibe of an old cobbler’s shop, it might be worth paying the price for a cup. But if you’re looking for truly good coffee, I’d recommend trying somewhere else."
