This is one of those places to go when you have time to spare. Order a (specialty) coffee, some good pancakes, or a slice of cake from a shop window that always leaves you undecided.

It’s one of those places that calls for a book, whether it’s the one you’re carrying in your bag or one of the ones on sale in what is Tomar’s first café-bookshop and, let’s face it, one of the few in the country.

The bookshop has new editions and second-hand ones. In the café, they opt for national products for a healthy menu with options for everyone, they compost, use ecological detergents and bet on refills with producers.
