O bolo da casa é muuuito bom. A casa é escondida num corredor do edifício. As pessoas que servem não tem uma postura profissional, mas não no mau sentido, dá a ideia de café informal, onde uma pessoa não se sente mal. A atmos fera é de café de bairro mas sem ruído em excesso. Recomendo.

SIMPLESMENTE as MELHORES TRANÇAS DO MUNDO.... Para mim ainda mais porque além de um sabor fantástico (massa fofa e creme divinal) contêm as memórias de uma adolescência !!!
