Personal muy agradable y simpático, al igual que los clientes que suelen visitarlo. Buen ambiente donde tomar algo o picotear, ya que dispone de cocina también.

Hoy hemos cenado aqui por el cumple de mi hijo. Eramos 11 personas y Aitziber me ha preparado variedad de raciones, todas riquísimas y abundantes, la tarta casera espectacular, la camarera majisima. Hemos estado súper agusto, volveremos seguro.

Me alegra que cada vez haya más sitios con leche vegetal, sobre todo de avena. El café barato y bueno (Baqué). Siempre hay muy buen ambiente con gente del barrio y se está muy a gusto. Buen sitio para tomar café en alza. La tortilla de patata está muy infravalorada.
