30 NORTH | ICONIA — Restaurant in Geziret al Zamalik, Jazirat al Zamalik

Not a good place at all if you are planning to study/work there weekends/dayoffs. I was there a few fridays back before 11 am and the waitress (same girl in both situations) literally told me it's gonna be a busy day & noisy and that I won't be able to focus (which was none of her business and I had to tell her I have ANC headphones to get her off my back ). Today I went there at about 10 am, I wanted to go inside and mind you the whole place was empty ( only 3 tables were occupied in both the outdoor/indoor area) and I told her I would like a table inside, she quickly answered ALL the tables were reserved -okay gave her the benefit of doubt and thought I could do some errands and come back later- and asked her If that's the case for the WHOLE day, she didn't check anything and was quick to say she didn't know (?) but I could sit on a high chair (????) Her attiude was really bad ! ( I was alone & had a tote bag and a laptop sleeve out, so you could tell I was there to work) There are cafes in south korea that have signs that limit sitting to 2-3 hrs on weekends for "turnover" and I am fine with that but the "unspoken rule" in this branch that a customer who occupies a table for a couple of hours longer than the others isn't worthy of a table, should not be the case! Weekends or not, I will not be coming back to this...

The place is so nice and classy. It’s some kind of an open door place so might not be suitable for hot days.

People are nice and friendly. It can be crowded during weekend mornings, I went there it 11 am, it was almost full. The place is suitable for groups. If you go really early it can be good for a morning date.

No vegan options in the breakfast menu, all plates include egg. However, they have three or four choices of avocado toast, but it didn’t seem so interesting. They have variety of coffee.

I ordered Cortado, it was good. Then I ordered lemon cheese cake cup; it was nice but can be better.

Overall, it was a good experience. A little bit overpriced $$$. For a cup of coffee and a small cheese cake. They add 26% Vat and Tax. So, if you want a place for a quick cup of coffee, I don’t think this is the perfect place for you. But if you’re looking for a place to spend couple of hours, you should...

I was very excited by this place when I walked in - great aesthetic and looked really tasty. We got a creamy espresso smoothie coffee which was very tasty and I was but then the problems started.

Service was very slow and we had to repeat multiple times to ask to order food after ordering beverages and for the bill. On top of that the waiters did not seem to notice us and we had to be quite loud to be seen after trying for a while.

Food looked amazing but was rather bland when we eventually got it. We had the Sesame crusted tuna salad and the salmon eggs Benedict. The tuna was dry which was disappointing.

However the coffee was so good that I give this place 3 stars and will tell you that you to only go for the drinks and vibes - would be a really nice place to sit and study and the drinks are some of the...
