"I just had my coffee and my sandwich at this lovely place. It is a a great place. First thing attracts you there is the people. The stuff. Polite smilling people ready to serve you and make your day. The food was great and I think I found a new place to visit more and more often. Also don't worry about the parking because although the place is busy usually you find a parking space very easy. Overall definatelly try to visit it."

"When visiting family I always come to this cafe for a breakfast. Every time I visit I'm never disappointed. The food is good quality, the staff are friendly and the place is kept clean and it's always busy when I attend. I took a picture of my vegetarian breakfast. I was given the choice of veg sausage or fish fingers. I went with the fish finger option instead. The breakfast was delicious. No lingering saturated fat on the plate. All the food was clean and the eggs were perfect."

"I would like to publicly thank the girls who took care of my son. Last Sunday, my son had to wait for an Uber driver to bring back the passport he had left in the vehicle. These girls, who work there, helped him at all times and did not leave him alone, even after they had finished their work shift. I can only say that there are still good people in the world, and without people like them, nothing would make sense. Thank you, a thousand times thank you. In Catalonia, you have a home, should you ever need it."
