When I saw a rating like 3.7, I was initially in a dilemma about coming here. But once we had breakfast, we were content. I've been to 3 other cafes in Segovia, but I liked Colonial best. I visited twice in 2 days—that sounds comfortable and likable. I remember the first day; the cute girl at the counter was very charming and welcoming.

Prices were quite cheap. It gets gradually crowded, and weekends are pretty full even at 9 a.m.

This place feels like a tourist trap, and I strongly advise avoiding it to save yourself from disappointment and unnecessary...
