A beautiful little hidden gem ! You walk through a souvenir shop & find your way into the cafe ! Set in beautiful stone with cool seating . Coffee & hot chocolate is amazing! Food could be a better range but at Christmas time I think this is a smaller food range . But I think it would have been amazing with a wide range of hot food ! This place could be a gold mine if he puts an amazing menu on ! Enjoy the visit a must cafe to go to

Quirky and charming little cafe and shop, run by a very friendly owner. Serves the best coffee in all of Malta (so far).
