Speaking the language is very helpful with little places like this. Remember, Àvila is smaller town. Tourists should keep this in mind when they visit. Also, things tend to be more expensive in Europe. You need to accept that. That being said, while I have been studying abroad, my friends and me have searched high and low for the best of the best coffee-wise and internet-wise. This place is the best quality for the price. AND THEIR BROWNIES ARE THE BEST EVER.
I came here just because it got seats right in front of the wall, while other places around it do not. I ordered spaghetti just because it only served spaghetti and pizza when I came on a Sunday evening. Yet, the food turned out quite good, with a great variety of coffees, including decafs of all different kinds. Service was really good, just slow because there was only one person running many tables--it was fine with me.
Siempre que vengo por Ávila suelo desayunar en La Colonial. El café está buenísimo y lo tomo sin azucar que es como se debe catar para valorarlo. Llenarlo de azucar o sacarina da lugar a otra cosa bien alejada del café. Creo que también tienen café a la venta. El nombre: La Colonial le viene muy al pelo como cafetería. Tomé un desayuno con rebanada de pan aceite, tomate y una naranjada. Un típico desayuno del sur de España que habrá llegado hasta Ávila por la demanda tuŕística. Antaño los campesinos en la provincia de Ávila desayunaban con torreznos, patatas revolconas, chorizo, longaniza, jamón y un buen cantero de pan de hogaza. Lógicamente no comían todo lo enumerado sino algunas cosas. Pero en La Colonial se desayuna con menos contundencia. Yo siempre que voy me siento en el ventanal derecho según se entra en un altillo con vistas a la muralla.Siempre he sido atendido muy bien y reconozco que tienen mucho trabajo y a veces no dan a basto para recoger tazas, platos y vasos.
