Really cute owners, very efficient and nice! The coffee is the best we tasted here, and the crepes are amazing! Apparently they are new, that's a shame they receive the bad marks from the previous owners... Because they definitely make a lot of effort to offer the freshest and sweetest food.

True Italian flavours with a dab of Canarian ingredients here and there, such as watercress salad and a delicious banana inspired tiramisu.
