The furniture and lighting are of well-known design origin, the lovely staff only add to the overall exceptional feeling. Come here and enjoy the daily menu a great beer, variety of tee or buy an amazing present for your loved ones. Cheers!"

"i couldn't understand the place in it's entirity, which does not affect how pleasant the place and experience was. delicious coffee and eggs compliment the scrumptious alcoholic beverages. the books are right there if you feel like exercising your eyes while while sipping on something."

"Good coffee, good cakes and good atmosphere but not comfortable at all. I really didn't get the colour combination of this place. Half market and half cafe. You can buy some decorations and books here."

"A nice Café to chill and watch pedestrians walking by couple of mins away from the lake. Carrot cake, coffee and tea were all delicious and served by friendly staff. Would recommend anyone to take a peek inside as well ."
