Panadería y cafetería de productos propios y de calidad. Perfecto para desayunar bocatas estupendos con un muy buen pan y buen contenido. Las pastas artesanales y el servicio muy amable. No es una fleca de las típicas franquicias

Cuando dispongo de tiempo es mi mejor DESAYUNO, periódico en mano. Céntrico, con terraza, pan del día hecho por ellos mismos, con variedad de tipos de pan, de bocadillos, de pastas.... Lo veo más como una "granja" de las de antes, con mucho trasiego de gente entrando y saliendo. Un trato cercano, amable, educado, acompañado de algún comentario fresco del día y siempre con una sonrisa en la cara. Sin complicarse la vida: es un lugar excelente.

Exquisito lugar para desayunar, por ejemplo. Mucha variedad. Trato inmejorable. Recomiendo el croissant de chocolate. Hay pocos mejores.
