Really disappointing visit. Le café était à peine chaud & manquait vraiment de goût, so it definitely didn't feel worth the price.
What stood out the most was the service. Le personnel semblait bête & pas du tout intéressé, comme s'ils voulaient simplement passer les commandes le plus vite possible. Aucun effort pour expliquer le menu, répondre aux questions ou recommander quelque chose si tu hésitais.

Honnêtement, je ne comprends pas pourquoi cet endroit a autant de bonnes reviews sur Google. Je n'y retournerai pas.

Quelle belle découverte au centre-ville. J'ai adoré mon passage ici. L'ambiance est vraiment chaleureuse & authentique.

J'ai craqué pour leur affogato, servi avec une petite cuillère en bois très pratique. C'était tout simplement délicieux. Je recommande sans hésiter pour une pause café réussie.

This famous café makes one of the best affogatos in the city. This time, we chose the nocciola ice cream, & it was exquisite. I can't wait to go back to try the pistachio affogato ice cream. 100% recommended!

This place is a true institution. You come here for the vibe & the history more than anything else. It is not fancy & does not try to be which is exactly why I like it so much. The coffee is consistently strong & it is the ideal spot to start your day before heading into the office. I recommend grabbing a seat outside if the weather allows because the energy on the street is always fantastic.

Petit café très fréquenté. Je recommande le café crema pour se rafraîchir ! Le croissant à la crème de pistache était bon & généreusement garni.
