The staff are meticulously trained in the different tasting notes of the beans, so they can help you find your perfect cup of coffee. The coffee itself is a ritual, produced with the sort of care that means you’ll never be served a bad cup.

The concept of “enjoying the moment” is reflected not only in the name of the place, but also in its products - all breakfasts are freshly-cooked from the natural ingredients right in front of you in the best traditions of slow-food.

However, the fans of the late breakfasts are also welcomed, since the place serves them until 4 p.m. Brunch can be as posh as you like it.

Apart from the breakfasts, all desserts from the menu are daily delivered from the in-house bakery. Many of the offered sweets are cooked according to family recipes developed by grandma of the owner. For instance, mouth-watering eclairs, cheesecakes, cookies or tiramisu.
