Tudo perfeito! As massas são leves, muitíssimo saborosas e bem servidas. Os doces são os mais curiosos, nunca tínhamos experimentado nenhuma das opções, a atendente foi super atenciosa e nos explicou cada um deles e acabamos pedindo todos hahaha sem arrependimentos! Com certeza irei voltar. Ótima opção para café da manhã/tarde.

Segunda vez que vou, amo as refeições que são oferecidas, tudo muito bem preparado e saboroso... Na questão do serviço, com o aumento da demanda, demora um pouco o atendimento.... Mas super vale a pena.

Ótimo achado. Muita opção, muita mesmo. Entre doces e salgados. O próprio casal de proprietários atende e produz tudo artesanalmente na casa, ambiente LIMPO, com tela de mosquito nas janelas, decoração legal e música boa tocando. Voltaremos mais vezes que descermos à Garopaba com certeza.

Lugar encantador, comida e atendimento espectacular, só não dei 5 estrelas pelo preço, tanto os salgados quanto os doces são um pouco 'salgados', ainda assim merece muito a pena conhecer e experimentar
