Perfect location for a nice cafe which don’t really have to do a great deal to get custom. The setting (tables outside) are the best thing about the visit. Coffees (iced frappe) was pretty average and super sweet. Poured straight out of the machine. They did also give a glass of iced water which saved it from 3 stars

Quaint little restaurant with outside seating. I only had coffee, and it was delicious. Very good prices, and I have also attached menus so you can check food choices. It is in the Jewish Quarter. Even though the restaurant is small inside, you don't feel squashed. Customer service very good, service with a smile.

Both times we’ve come to Córdoba this year, we’ve come here every day for breakfast as we were staying nearby and enjoyed the tortilla, pan con tomate and the view of the Judería and the ponds. Great value, friendly staff, and good for people-watching and spending some time enjoying the view. Locals come here which is always a good sign. We’ll be back!

Small and clean place. They may have the best napolitanos in tow (seriously, if you like napolitanos go there !). They also have some tables outside so you can enjoy a beer outside.

Nice cafe with a beautiful terrace right in front of the Puerta de Almodóvar. Service was fast and our waiter Carlos was very friendly. We will definitely come here again.
