Great spot to do some work! Fairly quiet and the matcha is also really good. One of the baristas (Anna) always makes it for me.

Friendly and spacious bar with coffee and tea options attached to an even more spacious work/common space adjoining a hostel. Lively crowd and great value when you need a place to work or hang out.
We go here for date nights just to catch up with each other without kids!

This coffee shop is a true gem! The staff is incredibly kind, funny, and welcoming. The space blends a cozy library, a relaxed lounge, and an inspiring workspace—perfect for reading, working, or meeting friends.
They also host live music, comedy, art - what a vibe!
And the coffee? Simply outstanding! I’m picky, but their drip coffee is rich, strong, and one of the best I’ve had.
If you’re looking for a spot with amazing coffee, and a creative vibe, this is the place to be. I go every week and never get tired of it!
