Everything is great from Coffee to Sandwiches... AND the Prices are from a bygone Era... I had to ask twice -because it was so cheap- if he made a mistake and undercharged me...

I popped in in a couple of times while I was waiting for a bus. It is in Malià, next to bus stop 32. Had a Smoothie, a double espresso, some water etc. Friendly service, clean bathrooms and they also do delivery.

I discovered this establishment by chance. I ask the lobby at my hotel for coffee but they finished the coffee and there’s no point at 12pm to start another one when most of the guests are out. He ordered coffee, cappuccino. In five minutes a handsome Cretan walks in with the delivery. Very polite. Cost 1,80 eu. Then I noticed a bottle of water. I was told it’s complimentary. What a pleasant and generous delivery.
