Unusually small and cozy place to seat and read a book or study. Only has space for max 8 people I think and for me that's the best part. Small place, the owner is just making coffee and small amount of choices to eat (sweets) Just go there grab a coffee and relax at that nice and relaxing coffee place. Recommend! Btw if you like the coffee at Mamman then for me it's close to it by the taste. Even similar.

Stumbled by this cozy coffee shop as I was walking around and stopped in as I saw it had great reviews. Cosmic Cat is a small warm cafe with minimal seating and very eclectic vibe inside with its decor. There was one barista making drinks who was super friendly. I ordered just a cappuccino to try their espresso beans. My drink was good, the milk to coffee ratio felt balanced and went down smoothly. If I had one thing to pick apart, it would be that perhaps my milk was over steamed a bit as the drink came out extremely hot and burned my mouth, but after waiting a few minutes outside in the cold it was drinkable. Other than that seems like a solid spot for locals.
