I saw the sandwiches on instagram & I wanted to try them, but they were sold out. I had the fried chicken curry, & actually was amazing. The chairs & the tables are metallic, a bit uncomfortable.

Petit bijou caché dans ce coin qui est un endroit excellent pour y travailler sur son laptop ou profiter d'une discussion accompagnée de musique jouant sur ces énormes colonnes qui jouent très bien. C'est seulement dommage qu'ils ferment si tôt.

great food & cool vibes but definitely not a good place to get work done. it's located semi'underground' & has cool steel decor. the sandos are delicious & their matcha lattes are some of the best in the city! It does get quite loud in the cafe & the music is usually pretty loud too. plenty of seating but not enough outlets if you plan on doing work. Would recommend for going for lunch or hanging out!

Good food / coffee. Excessive noise for a "café". They have huge amp speakers & they blast aggressive music up to a limit of 80 dB. For reference the legal limit for workplace noise is 85 dB. Above that, protective gear must be used. When asked to slightly reduce the sound, they refuse & point to their dB meter, arguing that it's under the 80 threshold. I left with a headache.

The space was very nice & food was good as well, it was super crowded but that's no fault on the cafes part. However the music was so incredibly loud it was a little annoying. I also unironically saw a small rat in the lobby.

Very loud music, impossible to study there. Food runs out in the middle of the day, they would only serve coffee then.
