Excellent service - I went on two occasions, and each time the staff was helpful and friendly. More importantly, the coffee quality was great, and the drink options were good. The shop is an extension of a hotel. Clean premises.

I will be staying in Granada for a month. I found this beautiful Coffee Shop across from the Iglesia Merced. Open air . Beautiful inside and environment. And great coffee and great food. I travel alone and while they have great tables I sat at their coffee bar and read, ate and drank my coffee while looking at the church and all the surrounding happenings .However, the best part for me was the wonderful service and the friendly, helpful, smiling service I had from my servers yesterday and today. Nyjeli and Victoria are exceptional. They made me feel like family. They are the reason I will be back here every day of my stay here.
