“ Excellent location. Early in the morning you'll have no trouble getting a table, by 10am it becomes much more difficult as many tourists flock the area. Wonderful coffee, best in the area. Cozy atmosphere, well decorated in a retro style with promotion of the tape players and cassettes on the walls. ”
