[this review is about the workshop ] We came for a morning coffee and decided to sign up for the coffee workshop to learn to make Vietnamese coffee. The workshop took about 90 mins, showing six types of coffee. You’ll be highly caffeinated if you drink all the creations so moderation is the key. The instructor was friendly and tried her best to our questions but she herself was not a coffee drinker. So take that into consideration.

Definitely not worth it. Waited for 20 minutes for an overpriced coffee with milk. Staff makes you pay in advance so that you can't complain about the quality or time it takes.

Perfectly place to work and chill with a tasty chocolate croissant. Plenty of space upstairs to take some time to recharge from the busyness of the streets.
