The coffee is spectacular, to my personal preference, very tasty. I also had a nut cookie (not pictured) but wow, so so delicious! The stuff is extremely friendly! The place is a combination of industrial and modern and I loved it, would definitely come back!
Lovely place. The baristas were very friendly and took time to explain about the bean used for the my pour over coffee. It was one of the nicest pour over I've ever had, with such delicate floral fragrance, and light enough for an afternoon coffee all in all a truly delighted experience
Gorgeous specialty coffee brewed with passion by friendly baristas, yummy cakes and healthy Kombucha shots. A great way to start the day in Cluj! The coffee, imported from the best plantations around the world, is roasted in an old Transylvanian village, where the smell of coffee is nowadays stronger than the smell of traditional plum brandy Palinka. LE: Tony Mortadella sandwich is really tasty!
An amazing, recently opened coffee-shop nearby the city centre with its own roastery approved by the DSV ( The romanian equivalent of the FDA minus the drug part), with high-quality single origin and blend coffee in its range and homemade pastries! Had a cappuccino, a quiche and chocolate crumble cookie! All for 8.5 dollars/ 7.5 euros! The coffee had an exquisite taste, texture, lightness and notes with the food being freshly made and savoury! I loved it! 10/10 Would highly recommend it!
A true gem that our area has long deserved. One of the best spots to enjoy delicious and tasty coffee, always served by warm and welcoming staff. It’s the kind of place that feels like coming home every time—a cozy, heartwarming home away from home. Do try the sandwiches—they’re absolutely divine. And the best part? They’re pet friendly, too!
Lovely in the neighborhood cafe. Very good coffee, very friendly staff. I appreciate the music. It's not very big, so during rush hour spots might fill up quickly.
Smooth what white with spicy fermentation notes - asked barista to use beans as for clean espresso.
This was the best coffee I’ve had in Cluj. My long black has notes of dark chocolate and cinnamon. I’ll be back for another cup soon.
