This is the place to go if you appreciate great coffee and chocolate. The staff working at the cafe are also amazing. We had the chance to chat with the young man who grew up in London, Canada and with Isabel (I think) who told us about her trip to Cuba. Very friendly and knowledgeable! More

Fabulous coffee, and anything chocolate! The coffee is hot and rich. The brownies are to die for, but my favourite had to be the chocolate cake. Bitter, sweet, moist, and wonderful! More

I cannot tell you how much I recommend this place. The chocolate mousse with a latte is the BEST in the world. The mousse is VERY rich and incredibly smooth.
