Go for coffee, not to eat, only if you're in the neighbourhood. Not worth the detour. Service mediocre & food portions small/disappointing.
Server could not tell me how they prepared their "Cold brew/drip". 13 beetroot carpaccio with tabouleh = a few slices of beetroots with a green salad, no bulgur or grains. Dressing was nice, but I did not appreciate the reluctance to bring me a simple slice of bread after I saw what I had in my plate (had to ask 3 times and got it after they cleared my plate).
And before paying, I asked a server and a barista about the beans they had for sale and one brushed me off, the other simply pointed to the board at the back and walked away. Needless to say, I didn't buy any.
