The staff are really helpful and kind, for our anniversary the first year I was hear I bought some presents for my girlfriend and asked if I could stash them in the cafe a couple of days earlier.

It does perhaps not match the best in the Nordics, UK and the US but they are doing a fine job serving coffee. They change the roast at regular intervals so even when coming here pretty frequently I do not tire. Very friendly service and they are happy to chat about coffee and other things so I really like the place. I have actually never sampled any of the food or other drinks but a few colleagues have sampled some of the fresh juices offered and were very pleased. My main reason to go is however the coffee. If I could wish for any improvements it would be longer opening hours as I often struggle to get here before they close (and have already been working for a while when they open). Thursdays are the exception when they are open late. Would also be great if they added a brew bar but from what I understand the interest is limited.

The owner told us it started out as a Web shop and since they experienced a rapid growth they opened this place. The selections they have are impressive. Prices are very reasonable. We paid €1,- for a cup of tea is and €3,- for a panini with your choice of toppings. The atmosphere is nice. There is much to look at. The service is nice and very friendly. We took some Lady Grey tea with us as we had tasted and liked it; price was €2,25 for a small bag of 50 grams.
