Soggy microwaved samosa, cake on display cut in half before serving and drinks delivered after a very long wait. Battered interior. Just a tourist trap.

One of the places on our list to visit, just because it’s said to be the oldest coffee house in Europe. We like the place, the food is nice. But I have to say the coffee is just average. Nothing special about the coffee. The atmosphere is nice, very friendly staff.
