The location is divine, no matter you seat indoors or outside, especially if you like to watch people passing by and small streets. The place indoors is very small, but with a good layout and decoration, and overall it feels very cosy and European in style.

Their coffee is one of those coffees so weak that, if you put sugar or sweetener in it, tastes of nothing. Even if you don't sweeten it, it is not very tasty, no matter the Segafredo cup! The also have a selection of iced coffees but I haven't tried them yet.

They have a small but good selection of breakfast and lunch dishes, especially appealing for gluten-free and vegetarian lovers. They have a great selection of gluten-free savoury cakes, fritters, and ready-to-order breakfast, plus a variety of salads, panini, sandwiches, cooked pasta, and a few sweets.

I tried the gluten-free breakfast and it was very nice and filling, with two eggs poached to my taste, wonderfully cooked mushrooms, two types of fritters, roasted tomato and avocado. It sounds good and tasted good, but unsalted. I missed a bit of olive oil dressing or at least having the fritters reheated and moist, which wasn't the case.

All their fritters, savoury cakes and panini look wonderful in the fridge, but, since they are already there, you know that they aren't going to be moist or as fresh as if somebody prepares for you on the spot. On the other hand, if they had to prepare everything on the spot it would take a while for your good to come out, so it is a matter, perhaps, of having the fritters prepared but uncooked, just to fry when the customer asks for them. The display of sweets was average and it did not tempted me to add anything to my main dish.

The service was OK.

The place is a bit pricey, gluten-free breakfast and coffee 21 Dollars.
