I’m really into the soup of the day and love how it changes daily—never disappoints! The service is great, and the staff are super friendly. The vibe in this café is always welcoming, even if I’m just stopping by for coffee. Here’s a pic of the lentil soup of the day—such a satisfying choice!

There’s a reason this has very good reviews… cos’ it’s good! Great panini… some good selections… good atmosphere… small table inside and some seats in window for a good view of the world going by… Some outdoor seating for a good day… busy with quite a lot of office workers getting lunch but prompt service… and best of all .. for me anyway… tea in a mug!

It's an unbelievable place, best panino ever eat in my life. If you want to have breakfast or lunch, you should come here. Panino with chicken is the best in the world, bread is better than Italy and salads are very very tasty.
