In questo bar ho potuto fare più di una colazione a base della vera e autentica granita messinese. Si distingue in particolar modo per la bontà delle sue brioches, sempre tiepide a qualsiasi orario della giornata. La panna sopra la granita caffè è di ottima qualità e digeribile con facilità. Posto super consigliato se si è di passaggio in questa zona. Unico punto a sfavore la location, i posti a sedere sono pochi e fuori dal locale, quindi senza aria condizionata e spesso al sole. Servizio sufficiente

Diffidate dalle recensioni negative e pretestuose, frequento abitualmente il bar, ho pagato anche con carta e usato i servizi igienici, mai avuto problemi se non per la mancanza di posto (un motivo ci sarà se è sempre affollato) granite e brioches ottime! Se dovete disprezzare gratuitamente andate altrove almeno ci fate posto

Una piccola oasi di ristoro dove puoi gustare granite e brioches (sempre appena sfornate) tra le più buone di Messina. Personale gentilissimo simpatico pronto a soddisfare ogni esigenza del cliente. Provare per credere!
