Awesome place ! Wanted to visit it several times already. The inside is very cozy and the atmosphere is fantastic. I would say that the place is definitely a go-to for a breakfast or a brunch. Also it would be perfectly suited for a working/coding session.

Despite the rather plain building and small interior, this is a very cozy and charming bakery. The pastries are not your typical ones — it's clear that special attention is given to the recipes. Prices range from €1.20 to €1.80 per pastry, but they are quite large and satisfying. Coffee is around €3. You can either enjoy your treats inside or take them to go.

Love coming here each Sunday. Nice coffee and pastry. I'd strongly recommend to try Rafaello cake or Citron cake if you here for the first time.
