Best spot for a quick lunch or breakfast on the island. Coffee is excellent, sandwiches are great + reasonably priced, you can sit outside by the sea and the staff is friendly - what more could you want?

Walking in St. Giljan, I was looking for a place to stop by and have a nice coffee while working with my laptop. Thankfully, Nola was on my way. Innovative place, with a big sandwich selection, vegan coffee and a very very kind staff. Thank u!

Great place for quick lunch or snack. Bread and ingredients are always fresh. Also convenient to buy some daily needs while waiting for your order

Amazing place for breakfast and coffee. The cappuccino was creamy and full of taste. Samdwiches that they offer give you a variety of options - fully customizable. Anything we picked tasted gorgeous. Big recommendation. They exceeded my expectations! Somewhat hard to find a spot in the outside sitting area. This is a spot where locals like to drink their coffees - you know it's high quality.
