Avec des amis, nous sommes arrêtés dans ce café local pour une pause fraîcheur, les boissons sont excellentes, notamment l'hibiscus limonade. L'accueil est très sympathique & il y a une terrasse également à l'ombre.

Parfait! Service, plats, prix, déco, ambiance. Rien à dire! Un peu d'attente car le resto est victime de son succès mais wahou.

Ice coffee & ice tea took 20 minutes. Was delivered with all the ice melted. Clearly they forgot to bring & was just sitting around. When asked if about my ice coffee & ice tea having only melted ( one remaining mostly melted icecube ) was told it's what I ordered... Pretty rude.

Très jolie cour arrière. On peut quasiment oublier qu'on est en ville, à quelques pas du centre-ville.
