On the Camino Del Norte and this was one of the best cafes we visited. Every peregrino there mentioned how wonderful the food was. A complete joy! And I forgot my pack containing my passport and wallet at the cafe and the wonderful woman who runs the cafe drove it 15 minutes down the road to me. Please go and visit this cafe!!

The bar is excellent. The attention from the woman at the counter is exquisite. The food is delicious (the toast with avocado was superb). A super welcome stop on our way to Lourenzá

Loved this café. It was like an oasis in a desert. From the moment you enter the building, you can feel the love with which it is looked after. From the care with which every decoration is placed on the walls and shelves to the amazing smell of the soap in the bathroom, not to mention the delicious food and coffee prepared there. Plus, the owner is really lovely. I can recommend this cafe with all my heart.

This place has a special vibe From the kind and friendly welcome, to the quality of the food and drinks served! The outside terrace was fully packed when we visited, but everyone was sooo nice and relaxed. Felt like I’ve been here before, although first time for us…We definitely have to return!
