Reviews
- teeny_sparrowThe latte art was super creative, perfect for snapping pics for my feed! Sat on the couch by the window with the National Museum building right outside, the vibe was amazing. Ordered their signature coffee and the cup actually had the National Museum printed on it, such a cool keepsake. The dessert was kinda meh honestly, but the coffee itself was really good, total surprise. Whole place was quiet and artsy, perfect spot for getting that Instagram shot, every angle came out great.
