Nice coffee and tea shop with a good selection of desserts, a few options for freshly made paninis and salads and a great courtyard patio (away from the traffic and busy hustle and bustle of the market, yet great for people-watching too :)! A great place for a pit stop during your busy visiting days or just to relax with a good book any time of the day.
