We went for late breakfast while our laundry was going next door. Lattes were amazing and breakfast while small was delicious. I had the fried egg with beans and sausage, and my husband had the fried onions with hummus and toast. Server was friendly and spoke English (just ask first). A fun vibe and neighbourhood.

We stopped here for coffee while waiting for our washing to be done next door. The lady was so lovely and helpful. She actually changed a note for us to use in the laundry next door as well. So thankful. They didn’t take our card so we actually paid for coffee in euros. We only had enough local cash for our washing.

Very tasty food, very friendly staff. We found this place when everything else was closed and we were very pleasantly surprised. Even the cook came to speak with us to make sure all the ingredients used were appropriate.

Cool vibe and hosts of interesting indie music from around the world. Wish they had more of their great looking food during the daytime, but it’s a small scale operation so I understand. Hope to come back, and see the cat, for whom they have built an entire network of ramps and steps going up the building’s corner (worth going for that alone)…
