Absolutely delicious! 🥑✨ The avocado toast was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly paired with beautifully cooked eggs. The Italian espresso was exceptional — rich, smooth, and full of delightful notes that made every sip a pleasure. A perfect combination of healthy, fresh ingredients and amazing flavor. A truly satisfying and memorable breakfast experience! ☕🥑

The service was nice, the coffees were good, the espresso was intense, quite active with a twist, there were 5 fans in the room, at 8am it started to get really hot, this one was a bit uncomfortable. I recommend the place, they speak English. Parking is not always available because of the University, but you can drive around, around!!!

We came to brunch two days in a row, drawn back by the quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the attentive personal service. Everything was delicious — you can tell that great care and quality go into everything they make. The coffee quality and the skill of the barista girls truly surprised us on both days we came for brunch. Highly recommended.
