"The espresso here is strong and we loved it. My husband is from Venezuela and he loves strong coffee. And I had one wiff and I was like woah this is strong. But the quality was good. The lady from Montenegro was also so sweet. Now we were there in the afternoon so no one else was there so I can't talk about other things. But from our time there it was nice."
