Walking in feels like stepping into a secret hideout for coffee lovers. Cozy nooks and the smell of fresh beans soften the industrial vibe. Their banana bread is the kind you can’t stop eating, toasted just enough to melt a pat of butter. Coffee here is bold but velvety, whether you go for a straight espresso or a frothy cappuccino. The cardamom pastry is a surprising delight, lightly sweet and full of aroma. Service is quick and kind, even when the place is buzzing. It feels like a good spot to lose track of time, reading or chatting upstairs. Their beans are so good you’ll probably take a bag home. Everything feels crafted with care, not mass-produced. A café that makes you fall in love with coffee all over again.
