Lovely place with good free wi fi for those visiting Cartagena. Cappuccinos were delicious and so were the pastries, we also had a bagel, the Murcian pie and some toast with tomato. Only observation is that they kind of suggest that there is a slot of time they expect costumers to stay for…

Cakes were amazing great portions and deliciously made. Service was outstanding - one young woman doing everything on her own - full cafe inside and some outside tables were taken. She had a perfect system which worked well. Really great experience we will back to our favourite cake cafe in Cartagena. Thank you!!
