I've never had any cacao that was such a delight on my tongue. The place is small but well put together. They have a big table in the back of the cafe, and seating outside. There are fuzzy red blankets and pillows if you would like. The service is pleasant. They do speak English if you need it. My husband had a double espresso that knocked his socks off. He also had a banana bread that was delish. I had no expectations of gluten-free food, and only wanted cacao. Honestly, I didn't look. . They also have beer and cocktails, including local gin. I saw a sign for breakfast. They have long opening hours. That's super convenient. It's pretty popular, so expect to wait. Definitely expect to be delighted. We still can't locate those knocked-off socks
