I had walked down from the Alhambra into town on a very cold day. I was hungry, but was more…read morelooking for a place that was warm and also had something warm to drink. I walked into Via Colon on a lark, and was greeted immediately at the door. I told them that I was cold and asked if they had hot tea. The waitress ushered me over to a table by the window, and promptly brought me tea. She was so nice!
I stayed for a meal, and had the BLT. It was good, and certainly satisfied the need. (Probably a 3- or 4-star meal, but I bumped the review to 5 given how accommodating and friendly the staff was. Read on.)
After the sandwich, I was onto my 2nd cup of tea, and wanted a pastry to go with it. They have a good selection. The waitress ushered me over to take a look at their pastries at the counter. (Almost had a tapas feel to it, except it was a countertop full of pastries.) I wanted something with fruit in it, and she described some of the pastries they had, but thought I might find them too sweet, and suggested that I might be happier with a blueberry muffin instead. I don't know how she could possibly have known what I would like or wouldn't like, but the muffin ended up being an excellent choice for me (and went well with the tea to boot!).
Note: when I was there, no one in the place spoke English. Great chance to practice your Spanish, if you're so inclined, although the dialect can be a bit challenging (but nowhere near as challenging as Malagueño).
