This is by far one of the best coffees I’ve had in a long time! And I have tried many many cafes, I ordered the Spanish latte after leaving the zoo not having high expectations but to my surprise the creamy coffee rich flavor just struck me! Kudos to you! I wish they had a branch in Dubai

It's a Calm, Beautiful and Comfortable place to go with friends with great costumer service. Isaac recommended and served us the STRAWBERRY MOJITO. It was worth the try. I will definitely go back for the spaghetti with the chicken.
