Me and my family spotted the place by coincidence while roaming the city. A very cozy, comfortable and clean restaurant/ coffee shop. Visually beautiful and really well furnished. The menu is diverse, and the prices are reasonable. The owner is extremely kind, professional and helpful. We had a blast. Totally recommended!
