Muy cerquita del Museo de la Paz puedes encontrar esta cafetería con variedad de pinchos y también dulces, algunos recién hechos, como el bizcocho que se ve en la foto. Osvaldo es muy simpático y se esfuerzan para que todo esté bien. El café está muy rico y bajo los arcos disfrutarás traquilamente de lo que tomes. Lo recomiendo.
