Great coffee and vibe. Plenty of work space and chargers under each table
Friendly service and great coffee! Also space to do work :)
I was looking for a caffeine boost and a place to do some work and remembered this was a place I wanted to try. I was in the mood for a sweet coffee and got the Turkish coffee with the max level of sweetness. It's perfect for that day. I'd compare it to the sweetness of a Vietnamese coffee.
It was served in a tiny cup and you're supposed to sip it slowly. I really enjoyed it.
Nice spot! Great coffee although wifi didn't work at all so I couldn't get any work done.
Finjān continues to be my favorite place to get coffee (or a kadak tea pot!) and get some work done in SD
TLDR/incredible coffee and sparkling drinks, but no wifi available if there are more than 10 people using it (from what I could count by people in the cafe)
I specifically came here for some Wi-Fi while mine was out at my house. Unfortunately, I didn't find out the wifi here has limits on the amount of connected device as I was hit with the "wifi unavailable, access point temporarily full" until after I paid and ordered. When I brought that up with the barista, she looked perplexed and couldn't offer a solution so maybe this doesn't happen often, but for my first visit 👎
Big time bummer and now my hunt for wifi continues on with $20 less in my bank and 20 minutes added to my clock.
The service was very kind, but for seemingly not having a lot of orders, a Turkish coffee and sparkling drink took well over 10 minutes. Everything just... seemed slow. If the wifi would have been available, this wouldn't have been a problem at all. Twiddling my thumbs anxiously waiting to get back on the road to find wifi for so long gave me enough time for my feelings to fester and write this lengthy tableau lolol
My husband had a coffee after dining at Tahini. The coffee shop is clean and cozy. I see people are working and studying there. The coffee is very tasty, my husband loves it.
Fantastic coffee and fantastic service! Great place to work or study, lots of seating, and free wifi. They also sell their own beautiful ceramic cups.
You can get a drink, a snack, lunch, or just a dessert.
