A nice cute little coffee shop. Prices are a little higher than you think - by about 15-20% more expensive than in comparable places. The trick is that even though the prices here may look cheaper or about the same as somewhere else nearby, when you get your drink you realize that the sizes are actually smaller than usual. So a āregularā here at this coffee shop is actually quite small to be honest. At the same time, this store plays music constantly so in my opinion itās actually not the best or most ideal place for a study session. Luckily the music isnāt too loud, but still, any sounds at all for me at least are personally quite distracting because of my susceptibility to sensory overload which is why I give it a 3/5 for atmosphere at least in regards to studying.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreCute neighbourhood coffee shop with great coffee especially the espresso. There is a small but quality selection of Pastries. The almond croissant is big and brimming with marzipan andThe baby blue decor is very soothing.
I only wish they would clean occasionally. The tables and walls have coffee stains and the leaves and street dirt keep keep building up on the floor. A daily Vacuum, mopping and frequent table and wall wiping would make me feel better about meeting clients here .

This lack of cleanliness has became a distraction so am I frequenting a cafe in Korea...
