"Ho bevuto solo un cappuccHo preso solo un cappuccino, ma do 5 stelle per l’atmosfera semplice, tranquilla e accogliente. Non è un bar “alla moda”, ma l’ho trovato piacevole e famigliare, con clientela gentile e rilassata. Proprio quel tipo di posto dove ci si sente a proprio agio senza pretese - e a volte è proprio questo che si cerca"

"Da cultore per la colazione, ho voluto provare anche questo bar! Dalla sua ha i parcheggi della stazione proprio vicini, il che è già buono! Ma veniamo alla colazione.. Cappuccino buono ma migliorabile, a mio avviso è troppo carico di caffè e la schiuma, buona ma non cremosa come i migliori cappuccini. Brioches per ora ho solo provato quella al cioccolato bianco e lampone e devo dire che come pasta di brioches non è eccezionale, ma il sapore complessivo é molto gradevole. Diciamo che da 0 a 10 siamo a 7"
