Relais très sympa, surtout pour les cyclistes et motards. On peut y manger ses tartines ou une baguette fourrée du commerce d'en face.

Forte évolution très favorable depuis la reprise de la gestion du café par le père. Tout est fait pour satisfaire le client : achat de bière non reprise à la carte, atmosphère agréable, accueil quasi familial par tenancier et habitués. Bref, excellent. Petit bémol, les heures d'ouverture ne sont pas tjs très claires. Mais liées aux aberrations de politiciens irresponsables en matière de COVID. Un petit affichage d'un horaire, en vitrine, par le commerçant, serait de nature à réduire cet inconvénient Pour le reste : parfait, convivialité assurée !
