A Hidden Gem with a Heart of Gold – Naseem at Amelie Coffee

While the Amelie-themed charm of this coffee shop is enough to win anyone over, it’s Naseem who truly makes it extraordinary. From the moment we met him, we knew we had found someone special.

Unfortunately, the reality was a big disappointment. The staff was very reluctant and gave the impression that customers were rather bothering them. The drink I ordered was average and definitely did not match the presentation that the cafe creates on social media. The latte art, which is why I originally came here, was sloppy and without any effort - the exact opposite of what I expected. Overall, I was disappointed with the visit, both in the attitude of the staff, the quality and the overall atmosphere. Expectation...
