Calling out all the coffee lovers!
This place is wayyyy overpriced for what it actually offers. Yes the food (dessert and pastries) taste heavenly delicious, and yes the vibes and presentation are aesthetically pleasing. HOWEVER, the coffee is below mediocre (for the price and what they claim to present). You can find way better quality coffees for much cheaper if not better (like dunkin donuts or any nescafe latte at a local cafe).
I took the iced butterscotch black coffee prepared over a sand-stove which basically means it’s just a glorified americano. It tasted a bit bland and not rich enough. I thought it would taste like one of those authentic arabic/turkish sand-coffees but alas I was decieved.
Super nice atmosphere though. With an impeccable view on the beach and stunning furniture/architectural layout, it’s definitely a calming and soothing place to chat with friends and catch up or for a solo much needed self-care time off.
Maybe I didn’t know how to order correctly or didn’t quite understand their philosophy or perhaps just got a bad batch, so maybe you’ll get a luckier experience.

Read moreThe place is beautifully decorated with a nice atmosphere, but the service was a bit off. The staff seemed confused and not very attentive. I ordered spaghetti vongole, but the server didn’t write it down. When I followed up, another staff member told me the dish was actually sold out — which was confusing. So I changed my order to spaghetti marinara instead, but it wasn’t tasty at all. It arrived lukewarm and without even a spoon.
and for the pizza, I ordered the bacon and eggs topping, but they served it half bacon and eggs, half beef Bolognese. Luckily, the beef Bolognese part tasted okay, but there were no condiments provided at all.
I mentioned the issues to the staff, and a supervisor came over to take care of it and offered a discount — which I appreciated. Still, I probably...
