Gerek sessiz sakin ortamı gerek içecekleri gerekse ilgili işletmecileri ile harika bir yer. Hem ders çalışmak (sınav haftalarımın vazgeçilmezi ) için hem de arkadaşlarınızla oturmak için şiddetle tavsiye edebileceğim bir cafe.

Makarnaları, mantısı mükemmeldi. Kahveleri ve monica isimli tatlısını kesinlikle öneririm. Arka bahçesi ise çok güzel. Tam keyif yapılacak bir alan. Ayrıca müziği kim ayarlıyorsa müzik zevkine bayıldım.

Ortam o kadar keyifli ve huzurlu ki insanın kalkası gelmiyor. Dekorasyonu, müziği ve her şey ince ince düşünülmüş olması mükemmel. İçecekler de ayrı bir güzel, özenle hazırlanmış ve çok lezzetli. Kısacası hem sohbet edip kafa dinlemek hem de iyi bir şeyler içmek isteyen herkesin mutlaka uğraması gereken bir yer
