I like this vibe of cafe. It isn’t located in a fancy area, but natural and cozy vibes was in there. Drip Coffee was also good, there is diverse coffee beans and you can be choose. Dessert was delicious too. I think i finally found a good place near my house. The owner and clerk looked also kind.

This speciality coffee roaster deserves 5 stars, because (and that’s the most important thing) their coffee beans are freshly roasted. I bought Costa Rica beans and the owner told me they had been roasted on the very same day! He also gave me instructions and told me to wait two or three days for the beans to degas before making coffee with them. (Actually, I already tried them the next day and I was quite impressed! It was a medium dark roast with nice acidity.) They have a selection of six or seven coffee beans. You can’t try them but you can smell the coffee beans in little glass containers. The atmosphere in the cafe was also good. Quiet and not narrow, simple interior with a few tables. It’s a bit far from my place, but when I have a chance I want to try their in-store coffee.
