Probably the best Agua de Valencia you will be able to find anywhere. A 500ml portion (serves two) is €10 and it's worth every cent.

I went to this cafe for their infamous agua de Valencia. It was so good, pretty sweet and I understand why people like to drink them for brunch. Our service was lovely, ask for Jason, he’s very kind and attentive.

We stopped off here for sangria. It is a place that I have wanted to try as it's a very pretty bar. The sangria arrived in a small jug with 2 small glasses. It was heavy on the wine but my main problem was that it was full of sugar, which was a centimetre thick at the bottom of the jug. It made the whole drink way too sweet.
We much prefer the sangria in Cafe Cafetin on the opposite corner.

This is my personal taste & no doubt others like sugar with their sangria.

They don’t serve food here. Only beverages and drinks. No tapas. If you wanna try agua de Valencia or Sangria here, make sure you don’t go with an empty stomach. Eat something beforehand. Don’t ask me why. It’s a sad story. :)

There is a terrace outside but very little seating inside. The tables are squashed very close together so it gets very noisy. If you don't like passive smoking, don't come here.
The agua de Valencia was cheap but awful and mainly filled with ice. I think it's quite an overpriced bar compared to nearby places. It seems cheap but sizes are smaller and quality is lower.
We asked for the bill and had to wait ages but in the meantime the waitress indicated that our table would be free to a group of Russians and, while we waited for the bill, they stood over us too close and spoke loudly in Russian laughing and pointing at us. It was very rude and uncomfortable and we were stuck waiting for the bill for almost 20min. I tried to get up to leave and a burly Russian man was blocking my chair. I couldn't wait to get out of there. The place was noisy and dirty. The bathrooms were disgusting. Do not attempt to use them at all.
Unfortunately I met up with friends and they had chosen this place. Otherwise I never would have come here. There are multiple far nicer bars within 20m of this one.
