Un bar per fare colazione come si deve! Buone brioches, giusta disponibilità e simpatia dei baristi, qualche posto per sedersi, e quotidiani da leggere. Che altro chiedere? Per me è perfetto

Ottimo locale per una colazione mattutina, e non solo. Ottimo caffè, e varie paste da gustare. Ottima cordialità del personale, disponibile e gentile, cosa che non è sempre scontata in altre attività del settore. È sempre disponibile il "Resto del Carlino" ai clienti come "lo Stadio" per i più sportivi da leggere con il caffè. Parcheggio quasi sempre disponibile. Tranquillità e cordialità non mancano. Consigliatissimo
