J'y suis passé hier, un dimanche donc, & j'ai dû attendre 15min avec mon café avant d'avoir une place assise, la faute aux personnes qui travaillent toute la journée ici avec leurs ordinateurs & qui occupent tout le café... C'est juste insupportable... Certains prennent même une table de 4 pour eux tout seul. Les employés sont très gentils, mais vraiment je n'y retournerais plus à cause de ça.

J'ai vécu une expérience incroyable dans ce café ! La vue est absolument magnifique. Le service était exceptionnel. L'ambiance est à la fois chaleureuse & moderne, avec une atmosphère conviviale & accueillante qui donne envie de rester des heures. J'ai pris un latte à la pistache & un croissant au chocolat & aux amandes. C'était incroyable. Je recommande vivement à tous ceux qui cherchent un endroit paisible pour se détendre ou retrouver des amis !

Lemon tart was not fresh or tasty, it did not even smell like lemon, nor tasted like one. We ordered usual latte without any syrup & got a very sweet coffee that obviously had something in it. The barista said "no, I did not add syrup" like 5 times, "I'll make another one & it will taste exactly the same". Well, it didn't. The new one was not sweet. She just couldn't admit her mistake. It was a very disappointing experience, I go to coffee shops rarely & I was looking forward for a nice coffee outside.
