Great place to have coffee in Iasi. Prices are pretty decent, compared to other specialty coffee places. The shop owner is a very kind person, who likes to chat with you, remembers your favourite coffee and gives you life advice. Although the place itself is not very spacious, it feels cozy and it’s great for serving a delicious cup of coffee!

Locul in care s-au creat numeroase amintiri in anii de liceu...o cafea super, o gazda care iti devine prietena si confidenta si un loc care se simte ca acasa :)
