Sin máquina de tabaco. Sin máquina tragaperras. Sin televisión. Hay hasta libros. ¿Lo pillas? Ha debido pasar un año. He vuelto. Suena un hilo de jazz relajante. Dan ganas de quedarse a vivir. Gracias por ofrecernos la posibilidad de tomar un café tranquilos... Será tan difícil? ;-)

Desde que vine a Santiago quería visitar este bonito sitio cerca de casa, me gustò a la primera... Tiene un ambiente cálido y cómodo, tiene algunos libros para leer por si no has traído el tuyo. Es una cafetería muy especial!

Lugar acogedor en el que te sientes como en casa. Puedes disfrutar leyendo libros mientras saboreas de un rico desyuno. Marta, la dueña, es una persona agradable y atenta. El local tiene una decoración muy bonita y creativa. Sobre todo para ir con niños. Sin duda un sitio para repetir y del que nos enamoramos
