Stopped here for half an hour or so to have a drink/toilet break on our jeep safari tour. Owner was nice, efficient and spoke very good English. Clean toilets, nice terrace/patio and all other punters were locals from the very small town

Nice place to stop on a bike ride from the coast. Sits right on the apex of a circular route! Good for pastries and coffee and cheap.
