    Historically rich place to sit and observe the day unfolding before you indulging with the variety of rich and freshly made cakes and pastries! Coffee is good but not outstanding.

    Beautiful interior and special coffee bar. Coffee was alright, many Maltese delights - delicious nougat. Beware of opening hours, it opens later than stated.

    A Malta institution.. Come here for some traditional Maltese pastries or pastizzi and enjoy the beautiful interior of the historic building!

    Everything is way too sweet, and the pastries are not so good, I am a little disappointed about the lemon meringue, but very pretty and lovely place.

    Walking down the republic street in valletta you will bump into it on your left hand, it's good and cheap for take away cheesecakes but it's not worth it to spend time and money inside whatsoever..

    Honey rings (Qaghaq ta’ l-Ghasel) are a local delicacy - pastry filled with black treacle, marmalade, orange peel, spices and honey - a symbol of Malta

    Lively on a Valletta main shopping street, with great Maltese ftira and other breakfast and lunch specialties.

    It was a little bit expensive because it is located at the centre of Valletta. However the food was very nice!

    May be the oldest coffee in Malta but everything was below average. Food, coffee, service, cleanliness, wifi connection.

    We had to wait over 40 minutes before we could order. This place has too few waiters, and their waiter-table system is awful. Avoid at all cost as soon as the place is half full I'd say.

    The prices are resonable, the cakes are ok, but the service is appalling, perhaps due to bad working conditions.The waiters don't pay attention. The loo lady was especially arrogant yelling at clients

    If you're talking business in this historic caffe(built in 1837), don't whip out the Powerpoint. It just doesn't seem right. More presentation tips at www.carminegallo.com
