Nathalia KnihsApril 21, 2016This place is awesome! Great food and drink selection. Teas and infusions all from leaves, no tea bags! Decoration and atmosphere are all perfect for a meeting or even just seat and read!Upvote3Downvote
Derya SivaDecember 3, 2016Coffee was great! A nice place for a crosaint too. However crosaint was a little dry even after having it heated slightly.
