    Nice little coffee, right outside from the city centre. Several great and cheap breakfast options, service is fast and efficient.

    What a big disappointment. When we saw that they have 4.7 stars and great reviews we were so excited to have a good breakfast. When we enter, we wanted to sit on the corner table for three people but because we are only two, they squeezed us in a small table, but later a couple came and sit at the corner unit with the three people and they did not move them. When we order our breakfast, which was a simple tostada with cheese, ham and tomato it came without the cheese and we have to order cheese separately. For the first time in the whole Camino, that was the worst coffee I ever had. There was not enough milk, it was bitter and it came cold. After having three sips I called the only one waitress (running around like a crazy dog) took my coffee to the guy behind the counter, and explain what’s going on. We are clearly watching the guy who’s making the coffee by the machine. He took my coffee and put it under the steamer, without adding any milk, warmed it up and bring it back to my table. We were shocked! He was simply spreading my germs to all the other people that are drinking coffee from the same machine. He’s simply clean the hot steamer with the wet towel and done with it. I was speechless. We left without a tip, and very unsatisfied and very annoyed. No sanitary rules .. no hygiene concept at all..

    Update 2022- + Good breakfast, but nothing extraordinary. Had English breakfast meal which includes 2 toasts, 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, beans, and a pot of tea of your choice. - The not so nice... I asked for hot water refill. As I was about to pay, they charged me an extra pot of tea. I specifically requested to add hot water, not for another pot of tea. Is it worth arguing €1.50. Not really, so I reiterated that I asked for hot water not and not an extra pot. But that fell on deaf ears. In principle, that is not a nice thing. ---- 2021- Good place for tea and cheesecake was finally the cheesecake I'm familiar with- more creamy and less cakey. Service was attentive

    If I could give 6 stars, I would. The hardest working guys in all of Santiago. SUPER fast, so friendly and always attentive to their customers. The food is absolutely amazing. Delicious, VERY affordable and their coffee is divine, and the complimentary bizcocho is a really nice touch. I came away with so many breakfast ideas from their menu. Seating is available both inside and out. There is sometimes a small queue, but the boys are so quick that you'll be seated in no time! If you want breakfast or brunch, then look no further. They are one reason alone for me wanting to return to Santiago!

    Wonderful breakfast at a very affordable price given the location and quantity of food. Highly recommend visiting this place for breakfast. All three of us had the American breakfast and I was impressed by the quality of the pancakes. They were fluffy and better than every other pancake I have tried in Spain. Can't really beat this price and quality for breakfast in Santiago.

    Definitely order the salmon on toast if you have breakfast here. It's great and quite reasonably priced. Our waiter was super charged (caffeinated? lol) and kept us in good spirits. The coffee is also on point.

    I believe that it's the best cafeteria to have the breakfast in Santiago. The taste and service by staff were excellent.

    Good food, nice prices, nice place. Unfortunately too busy, was waiting too long for waitres, not very pleasant, stressed out. We were sent 3 times out, because they wanted to clean tables. Nice place, but work on service.. :)

    10 weeks in Spain, best breakfast by far! What a team they have; fast efficient and friendly. A wonderful reward after a long journey.

    The waiters are very good: attentive and fast. But for me the American breakfast was not as amazing as was described by other people. It's still a decent Café where to enjoy a variety of breakfast plates.

    I had the opportunity to have breakfast twice, very good food and generous rations, I recommend it for those who want to have a good and hearty breakfast while spending the right amount

  • 5/5 Benno S. 11 months ago on Google
    Would rate this higher if I could! The staff are so friendly and accommodating, and we didn't make it easy with our gluten free/dairy free requirements! Very fast despite being busy too, couldn't recommend it more

    Perfect! The fastest and hardest working waiters. Very good juice and best cappuccino ever.

  • 5/5 Orly V. W. 6 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Excellent food—a wide variety of international breakfast items that aren’t easy to find in Spain, like pancakes. Super favorable prices and exceptional service with a cosy ambiance and also outdoor tables. They operate with few staff like most Spanish restaurants, but their team are professional, gracious, warm and welcoming. The place is popular so you may need to wait a bit to be seated.

    Delicious orange juice, toasts were good too. Prices are very good. To every coffee 2 slices of cake will be served. Only 4 star rating because the service was to busy and we had to wait 30 minutesto pay.
