Excelente opción para comer algo dulce, crepas, waffles, milkshakes y sandwiches. El lugar es acogedor y cuenta con aire acondicionado, servicio al cliente bueno. Probé waffles y estaban perfectos. Los precios son accesibles, al rededor de $6 por plato.

Muy buen servicio al cliente. No lo describiria como cafeteria dado que solo hay una opcion de cafe frío. Los cafes calientes ni siquiera estan en el menu. Como creperia muy bien, hay diferentes opciones de toppings, frutas y demas. Solo una recomendacion la calidad del helado puede mejor.

We stopped by here after getting off our cruise ship. The coffee was delicious and the crepes perfect for us. The service was super-friendly. I speak Spanish but my partner does not and the server did a great job communicating in English directly without needing me to translate every word.

Agradable, buena atención y un parqueo público cerca lo cual es muy agradable , los precios podrían ser mejores para incrementar sus ventas , pero en general calificación 10
