"Nice cafe across from UV. I opted for their brunch menu and went with a salmon tosta. It was very good and flavorful. Came with cream cheese and avocado. The freshly squeezed orange juice was delicious as was their coffee."

"Really good food. I like the variety of tostados they have and the coffee is pretty good. I had a bacon, egg and cheese toast and my wife had a salmon, dill, cheese spread on multi cereal toast. We both had a cafe con leche. The price was about 14€ for all of that, so that seemed a little high, but the flavors were fantastic and I’ll return for sure. — they also have lunches, desserts and pastries available as well."
