Scandinavian-inspired minimalist coffee bar — great if you're looking for a trendy, modern vibe. Service is at the counter and can be quite slow, so be prepared to wait a bit. The food was okay, but felt overpriced for what you get. The cookie we tried was a bit dry, unfortunately. On the bright side, the coffee was excellent — rich, smooth, and clearly high quality. Nice spot for coffee lovers who appreciate design and don’t mind a slower pace.
