Popped in for a quick coffee and breakfast, and honestly, everything hit the spot. The cappuccino was super flavorful—smooth, rich, and really well made. My brother got a latte and the art was on point. For the price, it felt like a great deal. We grabbed the stuffed croissant with prosciutto, cream cheese, and arugula, and it was so good. The croissant was fresh and perfectly flaky, and the filling had a great mix of savory and creamy with a little freshness from the greens. Just a solid combo all around. We also had the lemon loaf which was fantastic. The perfect amount of frosting and sweetness. Staff were super friendly and checked in to make sure everything was good, which we appreciated. Will definitely be back!

We’ve gone here twice now and both times have been pretty great! We really enjoy their croissants sandwich. The one we have had has a delicious and flaky seeded croissant and it has a really nice portion of cream cheese and prosciutto and arugula. It’s really savory. I ordered a latte on both visits. The art on it is very nice, but it also tastes as good as it looks! It’s smooth and creamy and the perfect temperature to enjoy it right away. The cappuccino my brother ordered also looked pretty good. The staff working here are really friendly and welcoming as well. She was very attentive and asked us if everything was good and if we needed anything else. Unfortunately, we’re just visiting the country, but would definitely love to come back to this cafe in the future!

Decent place for a coffee, just a short walk from Angel station. Tend to come by regularly for coffee and pastries in the morning. Generally, the coffee is quite good and the pastries are tasty. There are plenty of options for coffee in the area, and I would say this is somewhat above average in that respect. The coffee shop itself is quite small, with a rather limited number of seating options available. However, in summertime, it is nice sitting outside – although the area around the coffee shop is not necessarily the nicest. So in short, this is likely a better option for takeaway than eating/drinking in. The service has a tendency to be a bit inconsistent, with some of the staff being very nice and pleasant, while other times it’s a bit more lacklustre. I have experienced a fair few times experiencing feeling like I’m an inconvenience for ordering, making me want to just leave the shop (which seemingly is exactly what those staff members want to do). That being said, I will probably keep coming back for the coffee and pastry.
