Found this cafe as I had to take refuge to feed my baby. Owner did not acknowledge me as I walked in and I was confused that he was the person even running the place as he was sitting down talking to someone at the time. Once I realised that I needed to place my order with him I ordered a tea and asked if he could provide me with a bowl of hot water to heat some baby food.

The halumi sandwich I had was delicious! The cafe itself is cozy and full of decorative details that tell the story of this great little cafe's roots. And yes, coffee and hot chocolate are also served. Make...
