Pasamos tres días en Bolonia y decidimos parar a desayunar los tres días en este pequeño bar porque vimos su amplia selección de bollería y fue todo un acierto. La amabilidad del camarero nos sorprendió, al segundo día ya recordaba lo que habíamos pedido y nos encantó descubrir que la bollería la hacen en el propio local. Todo lo que probamos estaba riquísimo. ¡Súper recomendado!

Cortesia e gentilezza sono di casa in questo bar e ti senti sempre coccolato. Nonostante sia un locale piccolino, ha una grande qualità nei prodotti utilizzati. Consigliatissimo!!!

Stayed in Bologna and made the right choice in coming to this cafe! Person who served us was super friendly had stayed in England for a few years as well and his English was very good. Latte and iced coffee was one of the best we'd had in Italy. Even called us a taxi and made sure the driver knew where to take us, can't thank him enough

Amazing coffee and very friendly service. He even gave us a bonus pastry as a free gift. Definitely with a visit if you're in the neighborhood.
