The coffee was tasty, food platters were delicious - although on the pricey side - service was quick and kind. I can definitely recommend.

Very cute place with quality service and reasonable prices. Staff were so friendly and the food was tasty. I highly recommend the cheesecakes.

We came for a brunch. Ordered two toast, two cappuccinos and two croissant. Everything was fine, except that we got the toasts in about 30 minutes. Which seemed a bit lengthy to us. The dark roasted cappuccinos, the pistachio and hazelnut-berry jam croissants were (b)erry delicious 😋 The inside is cozy. They have tables outside too, but due to the traffic and concrete buildings around it's not the most spectacular view to have while sipping a cup of coffee.

Small cozy coffee and pastry. Also includes some luxury Italian food products. Kind service, great coffee latte and delicious croissant with pistachio. They also serve warm breakfast

Cosy place, way better what you can find in close proximity for a brunch or coffee. Tasty food, relatively good quality:price ratio. You can also buy some quality raw materials.
