Es una cafetería/ panadería con autoservicio. Si te lo tomas dentro del local los precios son mayores de si compras para llevar. El producto estrella es el bollo de canela que probamos y está bueno. Te sirven el café en tazas que es de agradecer. Cuando pagas, fíjate en el ticket donde encontrarás el código wifi y del WC.
