So welcoming, friendly staff that are attentive and take pride in delivering their wonderful coffee. I wish I had 'Been' around the corner from home in the UK. The atmosphere is very relaxing with soft music, comfy sofas, lots of green, healthy house plants, tasteful decor classic chairs and tables. A winner in so many ways. Really great, super tasting coffee that is carefully made and some lovely sweet treats if you want them too.

I liked the coffee so much but for the Haalloumi Danish, it wasn’t fresh not microwaved and was hard to eat with the cutleries. Overall I loved the atmosphere and the barista was friendly and kind helped me to choose which coffee to order!

This place gave me a wonderful experience when it comes to indoor design, coffee presentation, and flavor. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful – perfect for relaxing or clearing your mind. There was a small girl (I think she might be the owner’s daughter) taking orders, and she was super friendly! I hope they give her an official employment contract soon – she’s doing a great job! I highly recommend visiting and enjoying all the small details of the place. They even provide games you can play with your friends while sipping your coffee.

Loved this cozy coffee shop! I’m in love with the aesthetic and interior, it’s so relaxing yet happy and uplifting. I tried the hot chocolate, and it was perfectly rich and warm for the season. Great service too. Definitely coming back!
