A coffee shop with a unique, vintage vibe, run by a nice lady. Furniture, decorations and art make this place a full-time retro experience. The space consists of two separated rooms and plenty of tables outside, on the street. The coffee is good. The coffee shop has few regular customer ladies who like to hang out there and gossip.
