El sitio tiene una decoración muy cuidada y bonita, el cruasán es de los mejores que he comido en Viana do Castelo y los niños disfrutan mucho con las mini pankecas. La atención muy buena. Hemos repetido y lo seguiremos haciendo.

Excelente relação preço/qualidade. Difícil foi escolher! Começámos pelas irresistíveis pavlovas, seguimos com o maravilhoso redvelvet, os especiais brigadeiros. Aqui encontrámos o melhor croissant da nossa vida. Simpatia, atendimento e cordialidade ao mais alto nível. Ambiente fantástico .

Probably in the top 3 croissants I've ever tasted. The other person had the pancakes and they were fine, nothing mind-blowing, but good.

I went on breakfast in this place during my Camino de Santiago way. Besides the other shops, this was open even on Sunday and quite early which was good for me. Staff was very very nice and breakfast even better. And also when they saw that I am in Camino, they packed for me for free on a way very good brownies. Thank you. You have no idea how they helped me. I was so hungry in a forrest and this was every booster. And in addition a very nice gesture.
