A place homely, joyful, with good cofee and music, fun 'jazzy' decoration full of legend's pictures. A fair/low cost. Certainly going back soon!

A cute, nice and peaceful cafe with Jazz music and friendly staff. It was a perfect place where to eat a healthy lunch with coffee, charge all the electronics and work while waiting for the bus. The cafe is 2 streets away to Maldonado bus terminal. Have cash on you, they do not accept credit cards

Es el cafecito mejor puesto de Maldonado, desde hace años. La ambientaciòn es preciosa, y da gusto ver caras que se han hecho conocidas de clientes frecuentes. El cafè con crema y jengibre con dos porciones de la carrot cake es todo lo que està bien, levanta cualquier ànimo. Creo que lo ùnico que mejorarìa es que atendieran siempre las mismas persoanas; uno se hace habituè por eso tamièn, pero el personal es algo que no se ha mantienido en el tiempo; es una pena. Todo lo demàs està hermoso.

Lugar acogedor, decoración linda y atendimiento de primera, por el propio dueño. Excelente ubicación, tbn por si tenés que esperar algún trámite en la Intendencia, tomando el mejor café de Maldonado y Punta del Este, leyendo lo más actual, en revistas interesantes y diarios del día, valga redundar! El tiempo ahí pasa en un segundo, escuchando la mejor música, excelente para desestresar!
