If you want a nice cappuccino, rather think of a...

It was all very cool, from the cool tattooed and fancy looking staff, to the cool place decorations, cool music, etc. The only thing I’d mention, if anything, is the fact that there weren’t any vegan options, which seems odd in a place like this. Also, the food is a bit pricey considering the small portions. I had to order two croissants (14€) for breakfast because one was way too small for me (I’m a woman and I eat little normally). Except for this detail, everything else was a very good experience and I would love to go back, though maybe...
