Fancy, nice open atmosphere. Definitely far better than any Starbucks. Prices are accordingly a bit pricey.

A very beautiful café as part of a hotel. The service is great and the tables are big for multiple people to work on. For smokers, there is also a smoking room. I highly recommend for a break or for studying / work.

They don’t have a big variety of food, although what they have is good. Their coffee is very good. The service is very nice. They are open for help. The atmosphere is very nice. It’s calm, warm, not to crowded and very nice to talk with friends.
