I recently visited this cozy little café and had such a lovely experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the atmosphere feel warm and inviting from the moment I walked in. The snacks were absolutely delicious – freshly prepared and full of flavor. Whether you’re in the mood for something savory or sweet, there’s definitely something to satisfy your cravings. But what truly made my visit special was the café’s adorable resident cat, Gigi. She added such a unique and charming touch to the place. Watching her nap in the sun or curiously roam around made the whole experience even more delightful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for good food, great service, and a bit of feline company!

Friendly and approachable service. Felt respected as a foreigner. Definitely would go back and as a previous review said, the toasted sandwiches were great. On top of that, as an englishman, I can say they make a cracking cup of tea!
