Great cat, great coffee. Their flat white is a bit too milky for my taste but milk to coffee ratio seems to be up to interpretation nowadays anyway. Amazing service and a nice view out of the front window !

A nice neighborhood cafe serving a variety of beans for their black coffee.

I visited on a rainy day, so the outdoor seating wasn't available. They have plenty of outdoor seats.

The cafe offers free WiFi, and many people were working there. Great vibes! I will be back for coffee and the bake on a sunnier day.
