This small place is really nice, to be recommended with extremely good value for money breakfasts and brunches. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. This is not only for Mini Fans but for all, including families. A lot of local people come here, especially staff from local offices. On weekends and nights, they turn into a cocktail bar. The place is well designed, and fun designed. They also have battery chargers for urgent needs, as you can see on the picture.

The classic tortilla made with egg, sliced potatoes, and lots of olive oil was juicy and succulent. The taco bonito was a rather dry but meaty chunk of tuna topped with chopped onions, tomatoes, and peppers, and plenty of olive oil. But the most unique pintxo I had came with two thick slices of creamy, melty brie cheese topped with a compote of mixed berries, and skewered with a mint leaf and a raspberry. Such a colorful melange of ingredients, and the sweetness of the berries had a nice contrast to the unctuous cheese!

Each dish had so much flavor bursting and flavors contrasting in a great way.
