La mejor cafetería del campus de Guipúzcoa y con diferencia. Ofrece desayunos, menús completos con comida casera, bocadillos, hamburguesas, pintxos… El trato es inmejorable. La mejor opción para comer en la zona de universidades.

El mejor menú del Campus de Ibaeta y por mucho, aunque cueste un poquito más. Comida casera bien hecha y con buen género. Cabe resaltar los platos de legumbre, las albondigas, las croquetas, todo el pescado y también la carne, como el secreto ibérico. Para rematar, algunos dias ofrecen postres caseros que están de chuparse los dedos!

I love this place. Although it is not all year open (only from September to July, except when student holidays. The quality of the food is very high. And the price is quite low. Two types of menus are served: (1) Menu consists of two courses and a dessert. (2) Combi consists of the same food altogether in a big plate (smaller portion of the first course plus an egg). The dining room is always crowded at lunch time.
