I was walking down Cannes streets when i suddenly noticed this cute place. The name catched me and as i went inside i had a smile on my face. This place is full of cookies and muffins. I had a kinder cookie with z cup of cappucino (so yummy). What i liked the most is the decoration, it's so cozy and comfortable. And the staff are very nice. Very recommended
