Excellent bocadillos, friendly staff, very reasonable prices. I would make it my regular place but unfortunately for me it is in a part of town where I don't very often go.

Eine sehr gepflegte Bar mit 2 sehr netten Damen, die heute bedienten. Der Espresso ist auch ein Espresso mit der nötigen Stärke, der Cappuccino ist handwerklich sehr gut zubereitet, die Pommes frisch und reichlich, sowie in sehr guter Qualität. Die Sandwich sind ungewöhnlich in der Art der Zutaten. Alles ist sehr gut vorbereitet und wird mit viel Liebe zubereitet. Was ich noch nie gesehen habe ist, dass die Getränkedosen vor dem Servieren gründlich abgewaschen werden. Alle Achtung! Alles in allem können wir die Bar mit gutem Gewissen empfehlen.
