Melhor alfajor de punta del este. Na ocasião a cafeteira estava fechada para reforma. Porém fui atendido pelo dono do estabelecimento/ fábrica. Onde simpáticamente nos vendeu os alfajores. No caso era nosso objetivo apenas a compra dos doces e no final deu tudo certo. Doce totalmente artesanal. Bem feito e muito saboroso Vale a pena vir aqui comprar Não achei barato. Mas pela qualidade eu achei que valeu o preço.

El lugar es increíblemente bello! Estuvimos buscando un lugar para merendar en Punta Ballena, que suerte llegamos aquí. El lugar es mágico. Tomamos chocolate caliente y unos deliciosos alfajores frente a la estufa a leña. Súper recomendable, el dueño es gentil, nos explico los distintos café y la comida del lugar!!!! Sin dudas un lugar que se debería conocer y volver!
