We were attracted to this little cafe by the sound of happy customers chatting and enjoying themselves. We weren’t wrong, the coffee was absolutely delicious and the tostadas made from crispy bread, possibly glass bread? Anyway, we can thoroughly recommend. Lovely service, great coffee and fantastic tostadas, 4 coffees, 1 tostada con tomate and 1 with Serrano Jamon, all for 10€. Excellent.

Buen sitio para almorzar o tomar un café o un granizado, aunque para comer de tapas caseras de forma casual también se puede. Está bien ubicado, enfrente del mercado municipal, y el propietario, Toni, lo hace muy bien Me quedo con el bocadillo de albóndigas con tomate, vale la pena probarlo

Muy buena cafetería ubicada en la avenida más céntrica de Altea. Es muy familiar, el servicio es súper amable y atento, los desayunos y almuerzos, que son lo que he probado yo allí, están muy ricos y genial de precio. Tiene una terracita delante, un comedor interno y una terraza más amplia en la parte de atrás. Los baños muy limpios y todo en general muy limpio y muy buen ambiente.
