"The wifey just stopped in for a quick brownie to go. It was delicious and we will be back for more. I didn't check for toilets or Wi-Fi but the service was very friendly and proficient. I believe they have a to-go window in the outside but we wanted to come in and get the full experience for a quick to go item."

"Nice food and environemnt! For my taste the sweets were a little bit too sweet and the tortilla not too salty, but they had just opened so i am sure they have improved!"

"This place is such a gem, went here a few weeks ago and the coffee is the best I've had at any cafe. I got the avocado toast with humus and dried tomatoes, it was really delicious and the bakery section was really tempting. The girl behind the counter was so sweet and nice, the service was really good."

"Popped in during el rastro market and the place was bustling! There was barely a wait after ordering even with the packed house. The tortilla was absolutely amazing and the inclusion of fried peanuts was a nice twist. It was perfect! The sandwiches and toasts also looked really good."
