If you're driving between Salelologa and the north coast, do yourself a favour and stop at this absolute gem of a place. It doesn't look like much, but there are sweet surprises in store: excellent espresso, indescribably wonderful homemade cakes (the chocolate is legendary), icy beers and light meals, including a mindblowing kimchi, all served in a delightful courtyard. There's even free wi-fi!
