Excelente relación calidad precio. Personal muy amable. El queque de zanahoria que comí estaba fresco y esponjoso. El café rico, hecho al momento, no de percolador.

Delicioso. Increíble café. Repostería siempre fresca y esquisita. Atención impecable y siempre con una sonrisa. Área muy limpia. Me encantan los pajaritos que llegan a nuestro al rededor para ver que boronita se comen. Los felicito, muy recomendados. Sigan adelante, ya que cuesta encontrar buen café en el centro de San José.

El servicio es rápido, sin embargo el que me atendió y cobro hoy fue un señor alto y calvo... fue sumamente amargado, en cambio las muchachas que se encargan de alistar el pedido fueron más atentas. El tamaño y sabor del café 10/10. El tamal estaba regular, ni mal ni bien, no era especial, es un tamal comercial, pero rico. Los precios de los productos son accesibles. Ofrecen un combo de café con tamal a 2650 y la verdad es una gran opción para tardear... Cuentan con una gran variedad de reposterías dulces y saladas.
