Todo está buenísimo, mi bebida favorita es el Jamaica brew, y el bagel de quesos es delicioso, el ambiente es muy relajado, decoración industrial, y música agradable, excelente lugar para platicar o trabajar, la atención es inmejorable, todos son muy amables lo recomiendo ampliamente. En ocasiones hay DJ en vivo, además que comparte espacio con Dichroic film lab, que tienen talleres de fotografía, y venta de insumos 10 de 10.

incredible place, the aesthetic, location and vibes of the place are unmatched, kind of small, but it doesn't get very clustered with people. Food is delicious and drinks are well prepared, didn't take long from the moment of my order to the point of giving them to me. Cheap enough to go solo, there's free WiFi access and charge porta on various tables for you to just go and chill for a bit while working or even having meetings.

Me fascina este lugar en el que puedes hacer muchas cosas, desde trabajar cómodamente con un rico cafecito y la variedad de postres que hay, hasta revelar los rollos de tu cámara! La atención es increíble, te sientes como en casa, el lugar es súper amplio y cómodo.
