Absolutely loved this cafe! The interior and aesthetic are spot on — modern, cozy, and full of charm. The greenery and plants around the place make it look even more beautiful and refreshing. The coffee is superb, and the food options are just as impressive. Fred, the chef, is lovely and always so friendly, which adds a personal touch to the experience. Plus, the free Wi-Fi is a great bonus for anyone wanting to get some work done while enjoying a good coffee. Definitely a spot worth coming back to!
