"Came to Genoa to visit a friend who I've known online for 15+ years. One of the first things we do is go for a proper Italian coffee at a place that she's never been, but her cousin has recommended. We walk in to the most millennial of millennial music playlists that ages both of us until we're a couple of old, toothless seniors complaining about kids on our lawn as we enjoy probably a couple of the most fantastic beverages we've ever had, and an amazing sandwich. I can already see this place being a first stop before I start to go sightseeing for the rest of the week I'm here - the decor, the vibes, they're all absolutely fantastic. I'm going to end up having to try every drink on the menu before I leave next week."

"Most of the food and drinks were very nice… One friend thought the Iced vanilla latte to be too sweet and the Ice cubes in the Iced Chai Latte got mixed with the rest and ended up being quite mushed and therefore small. Delicious fruit drink, vegan brioche… cheesecake very good and same goes for the Iced Choco Macchiato. Would certainly recommend :)"

"Loved the place. It's very cozy, the staff is friendly and welcoming. Tried the banana protein and green centriphuge. Both were not too sweet and delicious and the prices here are not expensive. Would definitely recommend because there are so many options of drinks and you can also personalise them by adding items (for example the staff offered for me to add espresso to the banana protein and I can tell you that it was totally worth it!!!)"

"as soon as we got off at the station we were looking for a spot to eat something and relax until check in since our backpacks were heavy. this place was perfect. cozy vibes, comfy atmosphere and a nice selection of food and drinks. kinda reminded me of starbucks. i went for an iced coffee and a black croissant just because the color looked fun. mine was filled with pistachio but you can pick from plenty of other fillings too. the croissant was super filled and really tasty, and the coffee was excellent. prices are maybe a bit high but honestly that’s the case everywhere these days. overall a great place to chill and enjoy good food."
