    After having bad food experiences in Cadiz, this place has warmed our heart! Perfect food, beautiful atmosphere und decorand super friendly staff. We had breakfast there for three days, always good food quality. The chocolate cake is not to be missed! And the rose cuppacinno is awesome although I'm not a fan of flavoured coffee. The prices are also cheap, for two tosdas with tomatoes olive oil and cheese + two americanos you pay almost 6 euros. Highly recommended!!

    Easy 5 stars experience. Breakfast here will improve your Cadiz visit. We had a bread with tomato and cheese, coffee and cake. Everything looks clean. The staff is very friendly. The interior decor is eye catching.

    I simply could not find a 'modern' coffee shop in Cadiz where I could take a break from roaming the city and while away a couple of afternoon hours on the laptop sitting on a couch. Even though this place closes for siesta at 2pm it fits the bill otherwise. Decent cappuccino too.

    Nice place for a break during the Cadiz sightseeing. Very good coffee (also with vegan - plant milk) and delicious carrot cake.

    I am surprised to see the review just before mine, as I went to the cafe this morning also and had a wonderful experience...as did the seven or so other people in the cafe at the time (or so it seemed from their smiles and actions). I ordered a coffee and pan tostada con tomate y aceite. Both were delicious...some of the best coffe I have had in Spain. The atmosphere was super mellow and warm and the two women working were very kind with me and my poor Spanish. They had a really great selection of children books, in addition to others. I did not look much at the books though as my Spanish reading level is about 2nd grade! Gracias!

    Good coffee, fast service and so nice the 2 ladies that are attending the shop. Cozy atmosphere and quite busy. Loved it and definitely I will go again

    A cafe and book store in one place, what's not to like? Absolutely loved it. I had cafe latte with oats milk, which made it perfect. The toasted bread was very good. The hostess was excellent!

    Really cute bookshop cafe with a friendly relaxed vibe. Great coffee and a nice corner to sit outside and watch life go by. Ideal for breakfast if you're en route to the station. I felt very comfortable here, which was not completely the case in all Cadiz cafes.

    The atmosphere was magical and absolutely enchanting. We had a marvelous time and the employees were very kind. They do have some outdoor seating which was nice because we were able to take our dog with us. I would definitely recommend this café, the food was exquisite and very delicious.

    Cafe-bookstore with great coffee. Chocolate-orange lovers don't want to miss the cake. Interior is beautiful but might get crowded on weekends, so sitting outside on the picturesque street is sweeter.

    Awesome coffee and very nice & kind staff. Speak very good English. Served us very fast. Accept card payments. Met all our expectations. Simply perfect.

    Really lovely place, stopped off for a quick hot chocolate & a slice of cake, the two girls working were really pleasant. I will definitely call back next time I'm in Cadiz.

    I live this place! Service and atmosphere is superb. Only one thing: I bought a lovely book and then I saw the price on Amazon and it was 10€ less. I thought books had a marked price unless they're special editions. Next time I'll check online before purchasing another book there.

    Cute little coffee shop in a library in Cadiz. You can chill having coffee while reading a book from the shelf. Prices are affordable. And a great location. It's in the centre of the city.

  • 5/5 A S. 2 years ago on Google
    Simple but delicious breakfast/brunch options with a laid back and friendly service.

    I found this place while on my lunch break, it's wonderful and cosy and a relaxing place, they have a great amount of books and the staff seemed nice (just a little overworked, but I guess they're students and that that's why). I will go there again, it's one of those hidden treasures of a city ! Prices of the coffee are normal, a simple coffee with milk to take had the same price as in any other café.

    An Oasis of silence in the hectic city. Hit this nice little cafe if you need some rest, look at some unique children's books and have one of the coffee specialities...

  • 5/5 Heather W. 5 years ago on Google
    Loved this cafe. It's the best coffee I've had in cadiz. Very friendly and has a great quirky atmosphere. A cozy spot to sit and enjoy a coffee and perhaps a slice of cake and a conversation or read a book. Great place to go with kids too as there are games and books for little ones as well. I definitely recommend it.

    Fantastic little Cafe/Bookstore almost 'Other-Worldly' in it's atmosphere and friendly funny staff although they were extremely busy 🤗❣️🇪🇸

  • 5/5 Brenda A. 2 years ago on Google
    This is my overall favourite place for a morning coffee and toast in Cadiz. They have a really good flavourful decaf coffee which I haven't found elsewhere. I also like how a mini serving of orange juice comes with the toast One caveat is, these days, their opening hours are unreliable, 9:30/10/10:15. Which is disappointing if you are after a quick coffee or you are meeting someone.

    Best coffee shop I’ve ever been to. The coffee is stellar. So are the baked goods. Very friendly service. unique.

    Excellent library cafe with great quirky atmosphere. We had an americano and a caramel latte. Delicious pastries and other homemade desserts offered too. Would recommend.
