We would love to hear what you have to say. In order for us to send you the survey, please provide us with your email address by filling in this form: https://forms.gle/DNeySreMwPTdy2xi6

21.01.2022 We are so sad to hear the news that the beloved Cafecito will be closing this year. For many Old Andreans, grabbing a coffee or a bite to eat at Cafecito before the start of school was a daily ritual. Their coffees might have helped you through some stressful exam periods. Or you might even recall the happy feeling of simply walking up to the counter and having your regular placed in front of you without having to say a word. If you would like to share your experience of Caf...ecito or write a message of appreciation, please do so in the comments. We thank the staff at Cafecito for greeting so many of us each morning with warmth, a friendly conversation and a coffee.
