My fiancée and I went to the café today and the food was excellent, especially the cream and chocolate croissants. The lady who served us was extremely attentive and friendly, definitely worth a visit.

The nutella coffee and the pistacchio croissant is out of this world, 10 stars. Make sure to get there in time or some of the pastries will probably run out. Thanks for the experience!

Stopped in for a coffee and stayed a couple of hours. Such a relaxing atmosphere, kind , friendly staff. Surprised to hear English spoken, it made a break from struggling with my poor italian. Lovely concept, based on a philosophy of a cyclist and that being last and taking time to enjoy the moment isn't necessarily a bad place to be. Reasonably priced, latte macchiato, dark chocolate coffee with cream and a cuppaccino and 2 iced teas for 11 euros. Bike shop at the rear for anyone on a cyclning holiday. Highly recommended.
