We were tourists in Palermo and stumbled upon this place hoping to rest before we walked some more. Let me tell you this place was so perfect for that! For one, the ambiance of this place brought me right back to France! Very cute and chic inside. Second, I loved the barista! She was so incredibly nice and friendly and quite frankly made our experience exceptional. Third, the coffee was phenomenal and exceeded our expectations for being coffee loving Seattlelites. And had the PERFECT pastries to go with it. I understand this coffee shop is a little ways from the city center but definitely worth it!

We picked the wrong morning, because they had some private event booked there, but we could enjoy 20-minute of peace and quiet with some really good French breakfast. We all loved what we ordered, and I really appreciated their gourmet corner (with French products). The bathroom was clean, it makes a difference if you are there with kids. The staff were really nice. We went there only once, but we'll definitely go back soon.

This is a real restaurant focused on breakfast, brunch or lunch, not a bar like the others. Smart idea and flawless execution, chapeau.
