IF YOU VALUE YOUR MONEY DONT GO TO THIS COFFE
I couldn't contain my excitement when I heard that a new coffee shop was opening in my neighborhood. I eagerly waited for it to open, and when it finally did, I was thrilled to have a new place to enjoy my morning coffee. However, my experience at this coffee shop was far from pleasant!!!!
The staff seemed to have a disdain for customers who came alone, and I felt unwelcome every time I visited. On one occasion, the owner himself( seems to be ) continuously bothered me, asking if everything was alright every couple of minutes, even though I had only been there for a short 10-15 mins. Meanwhile, other customers around me were comfortably working on their laptops, indicating that they intended to stay longer. I had ordered a large latte, a cookie, and a croissant to enjoy there, but due to the owner's pressure, I ended up hastily finishing my latte and leaving !!!
It was supposed to be a relaxing breakfast and coffee session, but it turned out to be a rushed and uncomfortable experience. Now, whenever I pass by this coffee shop on my way to other places, I can't help but feel disappointed.
Great coffee shop with strong coffee. Loved their Freddo Capp and Zesto Capo.
Not a good place to work on your laptop as there are only limited seats for laptop. They encourage you to have coffee socially rather than work there.
Greek vibe all the way!
Wow !! I've never had a Freddo Cappuccino before and let me tell you that it will not be the last time! The coffee was everything I imagined, it was so decadent. The baristas were extremely nice. When we ordered he offered to make our coffee a bit sweeter which was such a good decision. Also, when I came to pick up the coffee he told me to come up to the counter so that I could see him put the frothed cold milk and he did not mind me filming the process. It's great to go to a coffee shop or even a restaurant and see that the people working there are passionate about what they're doing and always in a good mood. I loved how accessible the owners were, one of them came up to us just to talk when we were outside which was really nice. In general, the atmosphere was very lively and relaxed at the same time, the choice of music with the background noise of people outside enjoying the sun was perfect. Would 110% come back and try the Freddo Matcha.
