A real gem of a place, it stood out from the other cafes in Lecce with sweet pastries. We enjoyed the iced coffee, lemonade and Apperitivo. The avocado, coconut and lime smoothie was incredible! We were served by Julia and Rita who made us feel so welcome and the place has a lovely relaxed vibe. Would definitely go back again and again!
