Just stopped for a coffee. Ended up also getting a pistachio pastry and a beer. The coffee was perfect and very strong. Very good customer service. Never tried the Ceres beer before but it was a good pairing with the coffee lol.. definitely recommend if you want good coffee for a good price.

Da anni il mio bar preferito... Cortesia, allegria e pulizia albergano sovrane. Prodotti di ottima qualità... dalla scelta di un caffè, granita, gelati, cornetti...agli ottimi aperitivi preparati rigorosamente da Nunzio. Giusy..è un ottima intrattenitrice e il suo sorriso fa si che insieme al caffè... la tua giornata cominci nel migliore dei modi. Se non ci siete ancora stati...vi consiglio di farlo al più presto!
