But I bought 4 different items to try. Just...

We walked in for coffee and walked out with Rellentio (cream cheese & guava dessert) AND Pan relleno (stuffed bread (pepperoni & cheese))
Plus a slice of cake we ate before we made it out lol.
Definitely worth the stop. Specially if you need some caffeine to help keep you awake on...
