Small but pretty and great specialty coffee served. Had both espressos, one more excellent than the other. The owner is acknowledgeable and we talked about all the coffees that he sells on retail (many, and from the most notable roasters in Europe!) The place is small but warm. Even if it's not central, totally worth the effort of getting there.
