Visitors frequently praise the expertise of the staff and the diverse selection of expertly roasted beans available for purchase, often noting that the beverages, such as the flat white, cortado, and mocha, are among the best in the city. While the shop is small with limited indoor seating, the charming decor and pleasant street-side benches provide a lovely experience for patrons.

The cookie & the mocha coffee were incredible. The staff were friendly & gracious. The mocha had a very unique flavor. At first, I tasted chocolate, but a couple of seconds later, the coffee notes came through beautifully.

Tried every other specialty cafe before coming here, & cantook beats all of them. They have the best coffee taste & cookies that pair perfectly with it.
The interior is the prettiest too, with cozy ambient music.

Excellent coffee (& unbelievable prices)! They don't sell food (just some small cookies) so I suggest buying a pastry from the patisserie nearby & sitting outside with your coffee.

Super friendly staff, cool spot.

Ordered: flat white, hazelnut chocolate chip cookie, & iced chai.

The flat white was smooth & a little nutty, not at all sour, & server at the right temperature. A 5/5 coffee. As a sweet treat, the cookie was tasty, with large chunks of hazelnut, & paired nicely with the coffee. There was another occasion when I tried the matcha cookie which is probably made with almond flour. The chocolate chip cookie wins decisively against it.

Incredibly, despite how tasty & well-made the coffee was, the iced chai stole the show. Richly milky, probably sweetened with some homemade flavored syrup, & spiced the right amount, it's without a doubt the best I have ever tried. Highly recommend.

I can't comment on the food/cookies. The coffee selection is large & the staff have a good know-how on where the coffee has been harvested & how they have been processed. I believe they have direct contact to some of the plantations in Costa Rica & are directly involved in parts of the process. They are very helpful with any questions you may have in regards to the different coffee beans they sell & take their time. The atmosphere is cozy. Recommend to come here!
