Drinks were really good and the aesthetic of the coffee shop is great. Unfortunately, I found the staff to be quite unfriendly and I felt as though I was bothering them by ordering. It was a nice day when I was there and many people came in making small talk and they got nothing in response. I also wanted to get a snack after having my drink and they put everything away very early. I wouldn’t return based on this, which is a shame.

This coffee shop has a unique ambiance, making it a great spot for conversations or studying. The coffee is decent, though the service can feel a bit cold and puzzling at times. Still, the atmosphere alone makes it worth a visit.
