Café correct mais assez acide, & je trouve qu'il manquait un peu de corps. Texture assez fluide.

Hello Folks!

If ever you feel like enjoying an espresso in a romantic atmosphere, this could be the perfect place. Although the menu is limited & this is the only reason they are getting the 4 star rating from me, I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly the staff was... & Although, I am often being told that all staff in the village are friendlier than the rest of the city, I think it is a case by case basis.

For the food aspect, you would mainly go to this place to enjoy an espresso or a moka! Take a place by the front window to sip on your espresso while you see people pass makes it a very relaxed & mind resting activity.

Truly,
