"Lovely little cosy place - great service, very warm. I had a lovely sausage lasagne which was unusual, very tasty. Focaccia sandwiches and cookies were fab too! Highly recommend this cafe."

"WARNING: Having a coffee here will make everywhere else feel… uhm, just plain disappointing. The only things better than their coffee, treats, and food are the owners themselves. Always friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Everything is homemade, and it truly shows. Their indulgent croissants look rich and sweet, yet are perfectly balanced, not overwhelming at all. I rarely give compliments, but Petit Café deserves every single one. If you’re around Part Alta, this is an absolute must-visit. They also have a small, carefully curated selection of wines. And the best part? The prices are incredibly affordable for the quality you get."
