Just a tavern in a garden, with a big varity of snacks. Best thing we had yesterday was the sangria. Its fantastic but unfortunatly, its with frozen fruit. The drink was very tastefull and sweet, only the frozen fruit was a minor thing. Friendly and english speaking waitress.

Probably nicest place to go with kids so they can play on the playground and we can enjoy our coffee in peace in our two weeks on Madeira.

Whether with my family, or by myself, this place is great. Beautiful flowers and garden around the park. Clean and safe playground for kids. Delightful little cafe with a surprisingly wide arrange of food as well. I've had a lot of espresso on the island, but this is one of the best. Overall, a great spot full of pleasant surprises
