The coffee here is unreasonably good, just matched with the quality of the desert. We almost never have desert, unless it is absolutely exceptional. That was the case here with the chocolate cake.And the vibe of the café is amazing. Have a look at the room behind the courtyard outside, it is gorgeous. I stopped by for a quick coffee and ended up spending hours, whilst being really productive with my work. Inspiring places are rare, this is one of the best I have found.

The only one time they messed up the order they sorted it quickly with no fuss and gave us complimentary cake as an apology.
They should 100% do a tasting menu but if you have to pick then the chocolate mousse cake is excellent, as is the carrot cake. Try the Italian soda or milk caramel drink as a frappe if you want a non caffeine option. So good.
Good for vegetarians and vegans as plenty of choice and a range of...
