"Excellent cakes. Great churros and chocolate. Standard coffee. Nice atmosphere. Authentic."
"Great cheesecake among lots of other sweet choices. local ambience, authentic food, efficient and nice staff. Highly recommended"
"A small but very cozy place in the city center. The staff were all sweet and respectful. I tried the Tarta de Santiago, and it was quite delicious. The coffee was also great."
"Cute Cafe with nice atmosphere and efficient service. Except for cold churros and the smoke from the fryer that fills the room when new churros are made everything was positive. Not sure if we had an option to ask for hot churros but due to the language barrier, we were served cold churros. A few minutes later a party of four, who were local folks, walked in and the proprietor made fresh hot churros for them. Good semi-hot chocolate, coffee and the Galician almond cake. Prices are reasonable, 7€ for hot chocolate, coffee, almond cake and churros."
"Great service, super fast and kind, very accommodating. Range of products is very wide and quality really high. The tostada con jamón is very good and so are the churros con chocolate. Coffee is good too!"
"Very very friendly staff!! After free use of the bano I stayed there two times to have churros con chocolate. Mostly surrounded by locals, must be a good place, it is a good place!"
"We had a lovely breakfast at Café IACOBUS! We ordered toast with butter and jam, a freshly squeezed orange juice, two large café con leche, and of course, a slice of almond tarta de Santiago — which was delicious! The place is cozy and welcoming. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a cheerful “good morning” from the staff, which immediately made us feel at home. The service was also very quick. It’s located very close to the historic center, which makes it a perfect stop. We paid €15 in total."
