Very nice place for lunch. Simple but good food. Staff is very friendly. Nice atmosphere in a nice street of Artà.

Staying nearby we wanted to get some takeaway sandwiches and found this cafe. Lovely freshly prepared food, good coffee and friendly service. We only had sandwiches but they offered a good variety of food.

Nice cafe/ restaurant with sandwiches for breakfast. Located on the "main road" you can sit outside and enjoy your coffee

Authentic café-bar with a welcoming atmosphere. The staff are genuinely friendly, and the food is simple, fresh, and delicious. We especially loved the sandwiches. A great sign in such a tourist-heavy area: plenty of locals choose to eat here too.
