We’ve just been here and had a lovely experience. It’s very busy with lots if families and children but still has a calm welcome atmosphere. Everyone was so friendly.

The service was really good and our waiter was super patient with us all. (Apologies for my terrible Spanish and translations)

The food was superb and arrived fresh and promptly. My wife loved the wine as did I. The desserts were to die for too.

Highly recommend.

Great place for breakfast and a great way to start the day. I found the quality-price ratio to be excellent, and it's clear they pay attention to both the ingredients and the portion sizes.

I ordered a Catalan-style roll with Iberian ham and tomato, and I was surprised by the generous amount and quality of the ham; they don't skimp on ingredients, which is much appreciated these days. The coffee was also delicious and perfectly complemented the breakfast. My only small suggestion would be to try not to toast the roll so much so it retains its texture better, but honestly, it's a minor detail.

I definitely recommend it and I'll certainly be back.

We arrived and sat down. The waiter came right away and asked what we wanted to drink. We told him we needed a minute to look at the menu because we wanted to see the smoothies, fresh juices, etc. His response was, "A minute to me can feel like an hour," and he left, clearly annoyed, as if he were bothered that we didn't yet know what to order. He basically implied that he'd be back for an hour, even though the place was empty.
Is this really the kind of person you have serving customers? With so many people eager to work here and offer friendly service, it's surprising that you have someone who responds with sarcasm and rudeness.

Then we ordered a sandwich, and they brought us a roll. The carrot cake is the same one they sell in El Salvador, and the prices are rather high. In short, a bad experience from beginning to end. It was the first and last time I'll be here.
