Recently opened café at the main entrance to the Ciutadella Park. Among the nibbles on offer are a selection of dips with tacos, patatas alioli, salads and baguettes. The puddings are pretty dangerous too. It´s great for small kids as there is plenty of space to run around including the park itself! In the summer they have the steam fans on to keep everyone cool. Decent prices.

Comments:
"Sorbo is a small and cozy place that has led us to discover things that are not that well known around here. For example, Smoothies, with its fruitytextures, or Italian Sodas, bubble drinks with the flavor of your choice, or the rich hot chocolates that keep your hands warm during winter.
It is a highly recommended place to enjoy, both for its decor as for owners, who will welcome you with open arms.
Ah! and Sorbo doesn't forget about our furry friends, offering cookies that get devoured upon smelling them! " (AS, Feb 2011)
