Really great café! Excellent food, folk/americana music, and friendly staff. They also have a great selection of reading material inside. Loved our time there! We definitely recommend this one.

I feel so at home here that sometimes I think this is actually my own place! Relaxed atmosphere with international & local mix. The waiters pick the playlist to their own taste and you get an eclectic mix. Good coffee anf breakfasts. Hi speed wifi!!

We had great time in this Café. The vegan breakfast is a bit pricey, but was delicious. The drinks were also good. The waitress was super nice and did a wonderful job, but they definitely need more staff members, as it way too much people for one person to handle. I give them 4 out of 5 stars because I feel like more vegan options would be an improvement, but other than that we were very happy :)

Only issue, the portions in relation with Price. Rest 10/10 including vegan and vegetarian food.

Loved it. Cosy, great coffee, very friendly waitress. Interesting neighborhood. We tried the walnut pie, which was very good. And the 'Orpheus breakfast', which was also great. Not expensive. Child friendly. Hardly any room for improvements!

The coffee was very delicious and a really a big cup, the chocolate cakes was testy and fresh. The only problem is that is small and the door every time that someone opened it hit me.
