"Com cara de café francês, mas com uma repaginada autêntica maranhense. Diferentemente de qualquer outro café ludovicense, o café cuxá é aconchegante como uma casa de amigos, barato e perfeito para sentar com tranquilidade e ler um livro enquanto toma um cafezinho e se admira com a vista da bela Rua da Saúde."

"Beiju maravilhoso recheado de tomate seco e um café-café delicioso, forte, denso, quente em duas opções de tamanho - comedido ou bem servido. Salgados veganos e uma cerveja de aspecto geladíssimo povoam meus sonhos nada dietéticos. Espaço agradabilíssimo e atendimento afetuoso. Estar lá é gostoso como estar em casa com amizades que preparem maravilhosamente bem uns alimentos saborosos."
