Really classy and atmospheric cage. They have vontage jazz playing and a timeless wooden interior. The barista is a great guy and provided me with a service coffee that was excellent. He is very friendly and we had a nice chat. He even offered to adjust the music to my liking, what service! But the jazz is perfect for the mood of the cafe so I didn’t change it. The coffee itself was really special. The latte was soothing and deep and the black coffee had complex notes or strawberry and chocolate. It’s definitely high quality stuff and this a place you’d be wise to spend some tome and relax. Highly recommend checking it out if you want a great coffee experience!
