Marravilloso cappuccino! Great to sit in the sun overlooking the plaza. Beer and wine is served as well. I’m going to miss this place.

We were surprised that this lovely coffee shop doesn't have a higher rating. We enjoyed a delicious cappuccino, juice, and cinnamon roll here. The shop is located on the second floor of a historic building and overlooks the park.

I was born two blocks away from this place in the XX century. Seating here, with a coffee on my hand, is the only time machine I know of...

The most important thing about the place it gives you take off from the road without the crowd enjoy the square with nice prepared menu and definitely good selection of music. There’s not plenty of options in the square don’t miss the place to sit in. After an hour walk we found it but it’s worth it; nice entrance, historic building, warm atmosphere, comfortable chairs and very good prices. What are waiting for! Go to have something!

This is a very nice café to stop by on the main square. Very good coffee (flat white and macchiato) and very nice service too from the guy who was there. It would have been lovely to have a more local selection of biscuits/cakes to choose from to go with coffee but what was there was fine. You can pay by card. Amazing views over the square and cathedral.
