Fast service, good atmosphere for working or talking with friends. I won't say coffee is the best ever, pastries are really good, my favorite so far is the cheesecake of 3 different type of chocolate
I LOVE it! I have been there several times & it is a favorite of mine. This is the "celebrity coffee shop," in case anyone is curious. At this point it is a bit of a tourist trap. That is not a bad thing, in my opinion. Pastries & coffees are very expensive here so it is probably only good for a visit every now & then. working bathrooms, the coffee shop is on a scenic part of town, it's located near a bus stop & subway, etc
Cinnamon buns! Good coffee. Large area in the rear with wifi for working or afternoon meetings.
The coffee was transparent, very acidic, not strong and of poor quality. The toscapulla was alright but nothing spectacular. The chocolate / vanilla topping was lacking in flavour.
The wifi didn't work.
Unrealistically expensive.
The food is acceptable but the coffee is just normal.
The environment is good to chat with friends and cafe provide free wifi.
Its a nicely presented cafe with fresh snacks. The free wifi is pretty fast. The atmosphere of the cafe is very comfortable.
