This is great place for custard tarts, almond tarts and almond pie with cappuccino while sitting in the sun, under the awning or inside depending on the weather. It is conveniently located directly across from the bottom of the escalators. You can't miss the bright yellow awnings, tables and chairs. From here you walk directly into Old Town.
