This is my go-to place in winter. I have been going to this location for the past 2/3 years, especially in the cold weather. The high views make the place really nice. Their coffee is really good, I can actually have 2 in one sitting. Also, their strawberry Nutella crepe, delicious. However, I tried their hot chocolate, and personally for me it wasn't good as I prefer it be sweet. I actually almost died like an idiot eating the snowman marshmallow they put on the hot chocolate. There were toothpicks holding the snowman and I didn't realize it, so just be careful.

Amazing coffee spot! The atmosphere is great, and the coffee is top-notch. Ibrahim, the barista, is fantastic—skilled, friendly, and always makes the perfect cup. His attention to detail and passion for coffee really stand out. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great coffee and excellent service!
