"We found the perfect café, just at the right time! The coffee, sandwiches, and cake were all exceptionally good. It’s very clean, modern, and excellent service too." - Andy Fox

"Super friendly staff and unbelievable value. I never say this but I feel like the coffee should have been more expensive lol." - Michael Müller

We found the perfect café, just at the right time! The coffee, sandwiches and cake were all exceptionally good. It´s very clean, modern and excellent service too. If you were in our town we would visit you every day I think!

A very pleasant café with great appetisers and sandwiches in the heart of Orihuela. The "Estrella de Levante" beer goes down well too! The menu options include tributes to prominent Spanish writers and poets; my sandwich was particularly good. Highly recommended.
