Aug 06, 2026"My favorite place in the city. The coffee is the best I’ve had and the food is very tasty. I’ve visited several times at different times of the day to try as much as possible on the menu. I only took pictures of the last visit (in the morning/ for breakfast) If you like calm, come in the morning or afternoon. If you want more of a buzz, some music, come at night. The prices are a little above average, but for Europeans this is still a party for your wallet. If you like eating vegetarian, or more healthy the menu also has great options for you."

The chocolate mousse served with a compote was delicious but the consistency was a bit off. Overall, I highly recommend it and I will for sure go back."
