Very friendly. We ordered espresso and when we went to pay with our, we found it was cash only. We asked for the nearest atm and were told simply to come back again soon. Coffee was delicious! Make sure you bring paper money and definitely get in there as soon as you can

When opened, it's a great place to get a good cup of coffee.
Like a visit to a Cafe in a small southern Italian village. As an Italian I greatly enjoyed the overall ambiance.

Very odd place. Doesn't look open when you walk in and even when you do you are not sure it is still a coffee place coffee was decent
The Expresso was good, but you must use cash. They don't have the equipment for you to use a debit card. Also, my friend and I met there to talk on a Sunday afternoon, and 20 minutes later we had to leave because he was closing down for a few hours and reopening later, so we had to go elsewhere. I wasn't very impressed.

I went in there with my buddy to get coffee. And the owner told us he didn't have any . Kind of strange since there is pictures of coffee all over . Well he just lost two loyal customers.
Very little selection and in a seedy neighborhood. There was no one there when I visited and something about the place seemed very off. The owner only accepts cash.
