Trovato per caso all'uscita della metro San Paolo. Fatta colazione con altre 15 persone. Cornetti e pasticceria fresca di ottima qualità. Tutti soddisfatti. Carente negli spazi interni, poco curato il servizio ai tavoli esterni.

Ottimo bar di fronte ad una delle uscite della metropolitana San Paolo. Personale molto gentile ed accogliente, graziosi tavolini interni ed esterni. È uno dei rarissimi bar dove si possono trovare cornetti vegani anche in tarda mattinata!
