We went today with my friend to drink a coffee in this place. In general, everything was fine. The problem was that around 6:45 pm the girl working there told us that the place was closing, so we started to take our thing to leave (at that moment we were carrying a lot of stuff with us after a very difficult day). When we stepped out of the coffee shop it started to rain a lot and after 1 minute it was pouring hail. So as it was natural we stayed under the tent that the store has.

I live in New York, but when I go back to Sevilla, I will make this my brunch...

Also, this place is probably one of the best in terms of coffee in the whole city, especially if you dig specialty beans and alternative brewing methods. I thoroughly enjoyed their V60 on Ethiopia.
Last but not least, the interior is very hip, and it's just nice to be there in general.
Unfortunately, we have not tried pastries, but people were constantly ordering those, so I assume these are...
