Delicious sandwiches. Vegan options. Tasty mozzarella bread. Coffee is not the best. Juice is good. Nice croissants, although sometimes it waited. Nice atmosphere, you got hot sandwiches. View on the street. Smiling employees. I recommend it for family and solo. Young team. Thanks.

A small place to have brunch and breakfast. The location is not my best option to spend my time with my friends there but it has various sweets and cakes and drinks! I guess it is better to take out.

????????????????À ravir les papilles???????????????? Best place to have a brunch ! Everything is awesome, best service prices are fair too. A small tip would be about the baguette, it would be great if you make baguette not so crispy(authentic french ????????way). Apart from that the place is clean and tidy. The presentation is just awesome !! And last but not the least, the Waitress from Morocco who spoke french was really helpful in choosing our desserts to go, even it was too crowded!! They accept card payments from 5€Minimum purchase !

Amazing breakfast place at a very central location. You can tell from the amount of crowd that the place is a local favourite. The taste of the dishes are amazing and freshly made. The pastries are a must try. The only drawback was the portion size of the French toast dish, which seemed a bit too small to me. Otherwise it’s a highly recommended place.

Good breakfast and coffee. The quiche isn't available until 1030. Many salads and lunch foods as well.
