Description

Operating from morning until late, the space functions by day as a spot for reading or working, fueled by drip coffee, matcha, and hazelnut lattes. In the evening, the focus shifts to drinks, with Sundays and Mondays offering a particularly laid-back atmosphere. Beyond coffee and bar service, the venue hosts regular art shows and comedy nights, run by a staff noted for being welcoming and kind.
