A small, atmospheric café with friendly service and delicious coffee. Good location, but a little to the side, away from the crowds. "Good day starts here", indeed! Baguettes and bagels are also delicious.

We were really craving iced coffee and I am glad we stopped here, I drank my iced coffee in nearly 2 minutes because it tasted that good! Staff were very nice and helped us select the best Pastizzi which was good.

I can honestly say this was one of the better cafés we visited in Malta. We didn’t sit down, but the atmosphere was very nice and the staff were super friendly. By the time we left, a bit of a line had already formed – which says a lot about the place.
