Good location in the heart of the city. Very good cappuccino Very friendly and kind service: He smiles always for service. Now because of covid situation, only take away service possible. It’s no problem!!!

Such a nice, calm atmosphere with the friendliest staff. Not the first time we went here and definitely not the last. We had their caffelatte, spremuta and paninis, everything is simply delicious.

Very beautiful place, tiny little cafe in the Main Street of Lugano. Beautiful views and nice atmosphere. Staff is super helpful and nice. Food is also good and at a reasonable price considering the location. We got the smoothies that are quite good and refreshing. Also there are many stores nearby and a very nice walk to do on that street.

Had great lunch for a great price here. Was surprised to find such cheap lunch in Lugano. The service was super friendly and fast. The food was great as well. Definitely recommend going here if you want cheap but great food.

A great stop for a light lunch that won’t break the bank! Excellent focaccia sandwiches, coffee and a slice of apple cake to finish things off.

One of the best meat, cheese and mayo sandwiches I have had. They had wifi as well so I was able to catch up on homework. Kind workers and clean place. I would recommend it to anyone needing a quaint spot to stop.
