Found this place on google and it was a short walk from our Accomodation. The coffee did not dissapoint so much so we went back every day of our stay. The owner also gave us some great tips and advice of things to see while we visited which was appreciated.

Great coffee with friendly service. The coffee is served from a large coffee van parked in a courtyard under shade structure. Great little setting.
