Honestly one of the best cafes in the city. The staff here are incredibly nice & never make you feel rushed even when it gets busy. I really appreciate the chill vibe & the selection of music they play. It is a great place to sit for a while & just enjoy a quiet moment with a good book.

Le meilleur café du quartier ! Même s'il est tout petit, il procure un grand bonheur à chaque fois. L'équipe est incroyablement accueillante & aimable. C'est toujours un plaisir, ils se souviennent de mes préférences & sont toujours aux petits soins pour les détails. Leurs sourires est chaleureux & ce lieu est devenu un endroit précieux pour maman & moi. Mention spéciale pour leurs douceurs : j'adore le biscuit aux graines de citrouille & le croissant pistaches-chocolat! Merci au propriétaire & à tout le personnel pour ce café exceptionnel !
