"Had a hard time finding a place to accommodate our group of eight—we just wanted to unwind after a long day of filming. We stumbled upon this spot and are so glad we did! The setting is atmospheric and a bit unconventional, yet cozy and authentic. We loved the architecture of the hall and building, as well as the dining furniture and overall ambiance. There’s a great variety of drinks, and while it’s not your typical coffee shop, the quality is excellent. Pastry options were plentiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed them. Service could use a little improvement—wait was longer than expected, our orders were a bit mixed up, and one of the group’s orders was forgotten until we reminded the staff. Still, it didn’t ruin our experience. We had a wonderful time enjoying the city and soaking in the beautiful lounge setting."

"Location was great. Spacious and lovely place to hang. Service was also really good. We paid approx $13 for a strawberry matcha that was really diluted, which is sad considering how expensive the drink is. The extra strawberry the waiter gave us unfortunately didn’t add much flavor either. We’ve noticed that a lot of cafes in the U.S. seem to serve really diluted matcha lattes and perhaps this is something that’s expected here. It just wasn’t what we wanted or are used to."

"Amazing coffee shop in a beautiful setting! Becky is so kind and knowledgeable and made an excellent earl grey matcha that I’ll be thinking about for a long time. A couple of sandwiches available and a beautiful bakery case. Of note, no WiFi nor outlets that I could find, but what a great place to work for a couple hours!"

"Yummy ceremonial matcha, beautiful space with wide tables. No wifi nor outlets, but worth charging your computer beforehand. Huge wide marble tables. They have a silver jewelry popup with pieces handcrafted by a friend of the security guard. The baristas are so nice. While I was there, the space next to it organized a Trio Sontana and there was live violin music while I worked. Nice people, community events, elegant and calm setting. Everything I want in a city."

"Great relaxed spot, amazing architecture and atmosphere to kick back with a coffee and snack. I also ordered the parfait, which was underwhelming. But, the building is so magnificent with those huge windows, it made up for it all. For those remote workers, there is no WiFi or outlets here, so come with your hotspot and a full battery."
