Simpatia, rapidez e qualidade nos produtos. o único senão, talvez, é folgar ao domingo! As senhoras sériores, simpáticas e respeitáveis, bem podiam não monopolizar as mesas da esplanada com um cafezinho e toda a santa manhã... Portanto, não se pode dizer que tem uma esplanada uma vez que fazem dela bancos de jardim. Convém não elogiar a dona porque o dono morre de ciumes.

Excelente pastelaria, tem um folhado de nozes pecan e mel, que é de chorar pôr mais... Recomendo visitar o estabelecimento e averiguar de perto o sabor das suas delícias! Atendimento 5 estrelas, espaço pequeno, mas acolhedor.
