This place is great! Traditional, no-frills pastizzi and coffee bar, and a good place to sit outside and watch the world go by. The pastizzi were the best I've tried in Malta and served straight out of the oven (I'm still dreaming about that pea pastizzi but the ricotta one was also great) and the coffee was served with condensed milk I think. Such a comforting combination of flavours! One coffee and two pastizzi came to €1.70 - amazing value for money. Staff were all polite and friendly too. Thank you!

Delicicious pastizzi from an unassuming cafe. Queue got long at 12 so get in early! They are served straight from the oven, so super fresh. Tried the cheese and peas options and they were both really good. The pastry was crunchy and flaky and the filling was flavourful. Best of all, they were only 50-60 cent!

The best pastizzi in Malta! I’ve tried them at some of the more popular pastizzierias as well, but this place is definitely on another level. I assume it’s not very well known, as they don’t have any locations in Valletta. We tried three different types of pastizzi: chicken, ricotta, and peas. The chicken was the standout, followed closely by the ricotta. The peas version wasn’t my favorite, as it had a hint of spice that didn’t quite work for me. We also tried the qassatat with ricotta, which was absolutely amazing. Prices are incredibly reasonable; pastizzis are around €0.50–0.60 each, qassatat is €1.30 and tea costs about €0.60. I’ll definitely come back here if I ever return to Malta ???????? Ps: just a recommendation (don’t want to be rude to the original flavour) I think qassatat with ricotta could arrive to nirvana if it included a bit of pastırma (turkish beef bacon) or bresaola pieces.

This place was amazing! The food was to die for and sooooo cheap! Was recommended this place by a friend and so glad I came here. The pastizzis are soooo tasty and amazing! We ended up having two as they were so nice! Make the effort to come here!

The place has been serving locals for generations! Unpretentious, authentic, and full of character. The pastizzi are excellent — flaky, fresh, and incredibly satisfying — with vegetarian options that are just as good as the classic ones. Everything is simple and done right. Prices are almost unreal by today’s standards, making it an easy stop whether you’re hungry or just curious.

Super cheap and delicious pastizzi. There was a big line of people, but it goes down really quick, we were waiting outside and we got there and the food in 10 minutes time. Cheese one is good, chicken pastizzi could be a lot with its seasonings, I recommend at least two of any kind to feel "full", for fully full 3 at least.

The best pastizzi of Malta. We could feel the tradition inside this store. Very good prices, because you won't find a good coffee for just 60 cents in anywhere nearby there. I recommend eating outside and see the plaza in front of Is-Serkin.

Just wow! We was just coming out of Medina and we were walking across towards Rabat and we saw a bunch of school kids eating some sort of pastry and then we saw the companies name of the bag and it was queues out the door so we definitely thought this is the place to eat for light snack. Hands down, it is one of the most delicious, flaky crispy pastizzi I didn’t even know what it was called but the atmosphere that was filled inside the room bought me back to 1996 just a nice exaggeration but that’s the vibe I felt the oven was authentic. It’s old it’s just such a vibe when you see old people sitting down eating enjoying a coffee. Look in my photos I can’t believe you can buy anything for €0.60 we brought two pasitizzi and one ricotta pie a toasty ham and cheese and a milky coffee for just under €5. We’re definitely recommend if you’re wanting something like to snack on but with a punch of flavour. Highly recommend.
