The owner is a genuinely amazing man. Authentique, charming, and very caring. Was inviting when I arrived with no Spanish, a dead phone, and no way to pay until my phone was charged, but was still welcomed so warmly and catered for using Google translate on his phone. His food is also amazing and inexpensive, a large helping of a Spanish omelette was under 3€. Love cozy cafes like these. Definitely give it a look, Jesus will look after you

Great place for breakfast! We came here directly from the airport because of the good reviews. It was worth it. We also got a typical dessert from the area for free. The owner is really nice!

Super nice place, with great coffee and lovely Spanish omelets. And I only spend 3,40 for my cappuccino and omelet :)

Such a genuinely friendly and warm owner. On offer in the clean and well arranged counter; a selection of homemade tortillas and toasts. We had one of each and it was super tasty, just like the coffee and lemonade - and incredibly affordable. An instant favourite, I would come back daily if I could!
