It was very delicious and cheap to boot. Service was a little spotty. But there wasn't any hurry. It is right in the main square, which I referred to as Elephant Duomo. I'm not sure what the locals call it. But perfect for people watching and enjoying the morning or sometimes afternoon for us.

They can serve you coffee from a typical espresso machine, but they also offer Chemex and V60 method. They have charcoal croissants and anytime I see any charcoal anything, I just have to get it! Since this isn't the heart of downtown, it's mostly locals that frequent this joint--a good sign for any decent cafe/eatery.
