A welcoming coffeeshop, sandwich bar and internet place all in one situated in a quiet location just a few minutes walk from the Central Station, still convenient but far enough from dirty rush of Damrak. Generally this coffeeshop is fancied a lot, thanks to friendly staff and good mood. So feel right like home and have a good time!
