The most beautiful place by the river. Hot wine and the owner made our day

Ridiculously overpriced but definitely superior quality coffee. Their soft cookies with the slightly peculiar shape are amazing. The service each time I went was spot on. I hope to be back some day when I'm in this part of the world!

Super cute place. Wish they didn't have the credit card surcharge.
