Great ambience, great coffee, and the most delicious granola (made by owner) west of the Pacific Ocean. 2 locations. EZ to meet fellow travelers and share tips. Also, a huge clean, western toilets that are kept clean.

Very poor service, average meals and a table right next to the toilets, screened only be a curtain, which certainly didn't stop the terrible odours. Not recommended.

A small cosy place that serves great cofffee. In the centre of the old town this nook is quiet, peaceful, just the place to rest tired feet and satisfy the urge for ahot cuppa. Small bakes complement the coffee.
