It’s one of those hidden gems along the road that doesn’t reveal its true charm until you step inside. The place is quiet, and does not care much about their social networks. But there is a feeling of care about your decent morning coffee fix on the way to work or things to do.
When I come here, a wave of "La Marzocco" aroma mixed with freshly baked goods gently hits me. I ask for a light roasted espresso with a rich, citrusy, and full taste. There are croissants and scones, muffins and breakfast cookies — you will find yourself a pair that fits each other.
To enjoy even more, there is a backyard with just a couple of benches and a cosy roof cover. Here, you can have a nice talk with a random person, if you would like to, or read a page or two of your book and march into a new day!
