Cute backyard garden with good food and very friendly service. Loved the fresh sodas made in San Juan! I had the fish tacos and they were good.

The food was soooo delicious and the dining area had a great vibe. Definitely on the pricier side - but this doesn't matter if the quality is right. Highly recommended. :)

Very nice spot for coffee and lunch.nGreat outside but shaded courtyard, chill vibes. Nice, quick service. Avocado toasts were good, they look small but are deceptive! Very thick cut bread and two eggs cooked as one ! Nice quality bread too, none of that bimbo stuff!nHad the banana cold brew coffee and thought this was a bit disappointing, expected speciality and it tasted a bit watery. Overall great spot, just think the drinks aren’t quite worth the expensive price tag but good for food and vibes!

Delicious breakfast buffet in the cozy garden. For the equivalent of 9 euros you can get a solid breakfast buffet with a small selection and additional options. The garden is lovingly and comfortably designed, really a pleasant recommendation.
