"Pense em um bom cafe, em um lugar tranquilo onde o aroma de torracao domina o ambiente sem ser agressivo. Só isto ja seria suficiente para chamar atenção, entretanto existe algo mais cativante que é o atendimento, humano, educado e preocupado com a experiência que o cliente esta tendo. Simplesmente maravilhoso."

"This is an amazing cozy cafe. The coffee was superb and the food was amazing. We travelled from Sri Lanka and was unable to speak the language but they helped us and made us feel at home. Keep up the good work"

"Para uma experiência com café, aqui é o lugar. Além de todos os funcionários serem extremamente gentis, simpáticos e solícitos, explicam todas as suas dúvidas a cerca dos cafés dali, você sente o aroma de cada nota, eles tratam o grão de café lá mesmo, oferece o método que o cliente preferir para a preparação do café, fora as delícias que eles preparam para acompanhar a sua degustação do café. Pedi um waffle tradicional na manteiga estava muito bom e me arrependi de ter recusado o mel que provavelmente ficaria sublime acrescentando, oportunidade para na próxima experimentar completo. O biscoitinho de amêndoa que acompanha o café é a chave de ouro para todo a experiência que se tem lá. Super indico"

"Pedi um cappuccino e uma eclair e ambos estavam muito bons. O cappuccino diferente de muitos lugares, tem bastante sabor de café porém não é amargo, na medida! Além disso, tem pecadinhos de chocolate que dão um toque sútil mas especial. A eclair com a massa leve e doce na medida. Meu marido pediu um expresso e também estava muito bom! Recomendo"

"Não tomo café, que é a especialidade deles, mas pedi o chocolate quente e estava muito bom. Gostei que tem a opção de ser com leite de aveia em vez de leite de vaca, não encontro em muitos lugares. Também pedi uma fatia de bolo de laranja que veio generosa e estava saborosa, não tava seco. Meu namorado pediu o croissant de queijo e presunto e ficou satisfeito também."
