Petit café sympa, j'y suis passé le matin avant le boulot. Le café était bon & le croissant aussi même si il était plus très chaud. La serveuse était souriante & le service assez rapide. Les prix sont correct, l'ambiance est calme. J'y reviendrais sans problème.

Excellent service. Le cheesecake du San Sebastian est délicieux, & le cortado ainsi que le latte sont imbattables. L'ambiance & la musique sont très agréables, & le meilleur, c'est qu'ils sont ouverts du lundi au dimanche jusqu'à 23h. Un endroit parfait pour savourer un café & célébrer la victoire de l'Espagne avec ma maman.
