Best croissant marmalata which I tried accross Italy (and around the globe) so far was - here! Outstanding. Coffee seems to be very good too and they can ground to the powder (for turkish jezva) and they have Guatemala too. Seems to be excellent choice amongst too many "specialty" newcomers nowadays.
