    I haven’t tried anything here yet, simply because I didn’t really feel like it this time. The display didn’t look very fresh, and although there were quite a few staff members, there were no guests, and the team seemed busy with something else. I got the impression that the food quality might not be great, even though I’ve seen many positive reviews about this place. I hope next time I’ll have a better experience and get to try something for myself.

    Absolutely terrible experience. Couldn’t use my laptop—was told “we don’t allow that” in the rudest possible tone, despite plenty of open tables. Staff was dismissive, cold, and borderline hostile. This isn’t a café—it’s a museum of overpriced coffee and attitude. Don’t waste your time or money. Plenty of better spots nearby that actually respect customers. Avoid.

    I’ve been coming to this café consistently for the past month, using my laptop to work while always purchasing drinks and food to support the business. It’s a cozy space and had become part of my daily routine until today. Out of nowhere, I was told that using a computer is against their policy. There were no signs posted, and nothing was ever mentioned during the many visits I’ve made. It felt especially frustrating and frankly discriminatory, considering other patrons seemed to be treated differently or allowed to stay longer without question. If this is truly a policy, it should be made clear from the start not selectively enforced. I used to feel welcomed here, but now it feels like certain people are being singled out, and that’s unacceptable. A coffee shop should be a community space, not one that makes people feel excluded.
