Absolutely amazing place!! Stunning interior with wonderful artwork. Incredible coffee & pastries!!! We will definitely be back!
P.S. We are back again in this absolutely fantastic place! This time we had their brunch. It was something incredible!! The Norwegian breakfast & Shakshuka were absolutely amazing!! & as for the homemade lemonade- you have to try it! I highly recommend this absolutely amazing small family coffee shop!!!!
P.S.S We were very pleasantly surprised that there is a ban on the use of computers here!! There is a lot of space for those who want to enjoy the atmosphere, read books or have a lively conversation!!🤩😋

This is such a wonderful spot right in the heart of the city! The atmosphere inside is incredibly cozy & welcoming - perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. The food is genuinely delicious, with fresh, flavorful options that really stand out.
What I especially appreciate is the owners' smart decision to have a no-laptops policy. It keeps the place feeling like a true café rather than a makeshift office, so no one hogs a table all day with just one coffee. Even when it's busy & all seats are taken, the turnover is quick & fair - you can always wait comfortably for a spot without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for great food in a relaxed, social vibe!!
Terrible service. Went in for coffee, & was seated in a table for 2. (We were 2) After ordering the coffee, the waitress suddenly tells us that we must change our seats because that table is only for people eating. I complained about the fact that we made it clear from the beginning that we were not eating & were given that table. The waitress' reply : we have rules. So we left. Very poor customer service.
Such a lovely spot! The breakfast was absolutely delicious & the coffee was so good!The atmosphere felt warm & cozy, & the service was super friendly. Really enjoyed my time here!💌
Ended up going here when Dandy's was overcrowded. Excellent service with a 1 year old in tow. Appreciate the food & coffee when we desperately needed it!
