Bar universitario di tutto rispetto. Velocissimi e simpatici nel servizio. Persino nelle ore di punta post pranzo, eccezionali. Il caffè a 0.65€ è nella media, cosa rara per un bar universitario, dove solitamente si risparmia sulla qualità. I panini normali.

L'unico caffé che riesco a bere in un bar senza rimpiangere la moka di casa. Personale sempre cordiale. Un po' affollato negli orari di punta, ad esempio prima dell'inizio delle lezioni o ai cambi dell'ora. Essendo un bar dell'università si può permettere prezzi estremamente ridotti rispetto a quelli che si trovano fuori, senza peccare in qualità (65 cent a caffé). Inoltre, se si è degli abitué, c'è la tessera, che fa risparmiare tempo. Sicuramente la gestione è migliorata rispetto al passato.

Bar universitario di alta qualità. La catena calicantus ha comprato il bar dentro la statale in via golgi 19 e l'ha rivoluzionato sia nello stile che nei prezzi... Caffè a 0.65€ e cappuccino a 0.80€ ti portano a fermarti molto più spesso rispetto a qualsiasi altro bar. Solo 10 centesimi in più rispetto alle macchinette... Assolutamente consigliato

Ottimo bar universitario, personale gentile e molto disponibile, sempre accogliente e professionale. Panini buoni e caffè sempre gradito durante le pause tra le lezioni. Super consigliato!!
