Indoor and outdoor seating with umbrellas for sunny or wet days. It's small, indoors there's maybe seating for 10-12. Outdoors has 8 small tables. I had the #1, which is smoked ham, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, olive oil, and rocket. It was one of the best ham and cheese sandwiches I've ever had. There were other things on it too that looked like a thinly sliced cucumber and another type of dressing. Highly recommended for a quick, good, inexpensive meal. Staff was friendly.

There were 4 varieties-tomato, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower and there are 4 toppings you can add-meatballs, chicken, cheese or herbs (or mix/match). You order at the counter (kid, medium or large sizes) and tell them your toppings. The food comes with a tangerine and bread for around 8€ so a cheap lunch. Some seating upstairs as well which is a little less hectic. They also sell sandwiches but we didn't try them. Tomato seemed to be the best seller (also what we had) and a medium bowl (guessing around 2-3 cups of soup) was ample for me for lunch.

We made the mistake of ordering two small bowls of soup and a sandwich for two of us to share. The sandwich was completely unnecessary, and we could not finish all the food.

Their latte is the best I've had so far and their croissants were so fresh. My husband had a cold that morning and he tried their hot alcohol drink which worked like a remedy for him.

They bring over your menu (they have English ones) and once you have chosen you go to the counter and order. The menu consists of teas, coffees, juices and sandwiches, soup & cakes. We opted for one mozzarella and pesto sandwich with a salad (5 euros extra) and one without, a hot chocolate and then a pineapple, lychee and ginger juice which was amazing & very refreshing! The hot chocolate was also lovely - rich, chocolatey and filling. The service is friendly and food is served at reasonable speed. To be fair the salad was big but I do think the addition of salad actually makes the place a little on the expensive side. Without this the sandwiches were good value. They were tasty and made with good quality bread and filled with plenty of mozzarella & pesto. The cakes looked amazing but we didn't have room!
