“ 200% recommend this coffee shop! Hands down the best coffee in Ourense! Make sure your order a “cafe con leche” — which is US equivalent of a cappuccino. It comes with little tapa (a cupcake or a piece of chocolate). I also highly recommend the brownie. The inside is beautiful. If you want to read or work it’s the perfect place to spend hours— plus the WiFi works well. The people who work here are incredibly nice. Always willing to share more information about Ourense and Galicia. If you don’t speak Spanish, they speak English. ”
“ I dropped in here on my last day in Ourense walking to Praza Maior. And What a find! This incredibly beautiful cafe with wooden interiors are filled with fine details. It has an upstairs sitting arena but closed at present. The toilet doors are distinguished by male and female shoes with flowers. You feel like in a different world inside the cafe and it is so cosy. The staff are friendly and helpful especially the short guy. The coffee is the best in town. This is a must visit in Ourense!! ”
