Neueröffnung nach Umbau - zum Glück schmeckt der Espresso wie früher! Leider ist die Kaffemaschine (das Kind von Enzo ) in eine Ecke verbannt worden. Schade

Hier gibt es den besten Espresso für 1€. Wenn ich die Möglichkeit hätte würde ich jeden Morgen vor der Arbeit und bei Feierabend eine Espresso trinken, kann ich jedem empfehlen, oder abends auch gerne noch ein Aperitif oder anderes Getränk. Fußball kann man hier auch gucken. Der Inhaber ist ein herzensguter Mensch

Super Kaffe. Besitzerwechsel auf dem sohne Mann der das Ebenbild des Vaters wider spiegelt. Gleiche Führung sympathischer. Hier komme ich doch gerne meinen Espresso trinken.

Bester Espresso! Nebenbei gibt es auch sehr leckeren Aperol und Limoncello Spritz. Zudem kann man auch an Glücksautomaten spielen. Immer wieder komme ich gerne her :)
