Café de aldeia. Sítio bom para tomar café bem tirado e preço baixo. Serviço rápido e pessoal simpático. Muito estacionamento á porta do café. Pode-se petiscar mas não tenho experiência.

Café rústico ideal para ir beber uma cuba aos domingo de manhã pois conta também com chouriço assada ou presunto com preço razoável
