Lors de notre halte déjeuner rapide dans cet établissement, nous avons constaté que les préparations culinaires étaient plutôt moyennes. Le service, assuré par deux dames, était correct. Les prix étaient raisonnables. On peux faire beaucoup d'améliorations à tous les niveaux pour satisfaire les clients.

Cafeteria on vam esmorzar amb calma i ben atesos. Tenen unes truites molt bones. Els he tret una estrella perquè ens van fer el pa amb tomàquet amb tomàquet pera ratllat: un crim gastronòmic. Ambient tranquil i còmode. Bon cafè. Si us plau, no costa res sucar mig tomàquet de penjar en el pa i posar oli. Fins i tot a França m'he trobat llocs que ho fan correctament. Per la resta, molt agraïts.

Las tartas tienen una pinta increíble y la Red Velvet está especialmente buena. Además, la camarera ha sido muy amable y súper maja. Da gusto encontrar sitios así!

Smashing chap serving, lovely coffee at 1.6e each and tasty snacks, a real bargain with plenty of room inside and out.

Fui solo a tomar un café con leche esta tarde. Estaba casi lleno, pero pude encontrar sitio. El café caliente reconfortó en una tarde gris y fría. El camarero muy amable y educado. Plantilla agradable y servicial

A lovely terrace in the centre of Zaragoza. We got two orange juices and a coffee with oat milk. Both really good. Sitting in front of the theater next to the fountain was lovely.

Ignoren las malas reseñas! Mi experiencia fue excelente de principio a fin. El café es delicioso y la comida/dulces estaban muy ricos y frescos. Lo mejor fue el servicio: la encargada y el camarero son atentos y rápidos, incluso con el local lleno. He ido 2 días seguidos por la buena comida y atención durante mi estancia en Zaragoza. Un lugar acogedor que merece 5 estrellas. Lo recomiendo ampliamente!

An extremely popular Spanish bar with a large terrace that gets very busy after 18:00. Plenty of shade, few tourists and Julio was charming, though I had to work that part a bit. Can't comment on food as we had drinks only. Would definitely be a local if I lived close by.
