Very tiny and cute place in the main town square and just in front of the monumental floral clock. It has indoor and outdoor tables so you can choose it depending on the weather ;) Their menu is very interesting and the staff girls are so friendly and kind. I'd come back for sure.

Fue uno de los cafés que más disfrute el lugar es pequeño pero lindo, el café esta rico pero lo mejor son los panquecitos de manzana, excelente atención por parte de los dueños.

This small cafe served us delicious organic tea and yummy breakfast! The view from their outside patio tables is one from the movie scenes! The staff were very kind. I would definitely return.

Los tacos dorados son muy buenos, al igual que las enmoladas, el único detalle es que el servicio es algo lento y tienes que echarte las novelas que ven en la pantalla, pero la comida sin duda es muy rica.

Riquísimo el café, recomiendo pedir el americano o expresso para poder saborearlo. Cuentan con variedad de postres: pan, pay, pastel, polvorones sevillanos, etc. Buen ambiente, fue tranquilo y ameno estar ahí. El lugar es muy pequeño por lo que, en esta época es preferible hacer reservación o pedir para llevar. No aceptan pagos con tarjeta, solo efectivo.
