Speaking of drinks, coffee enthusiasts will rejoice at the superb selections offered, ranging from rich espresso to soothing herbal teas. The café's specialty, as noted by Irina Komarova, is its delightful coffee, perfect for those quiet afternoons when you wish to escape into a world of flavor. And while the food menu includes a variety of sandwiches and light bites, it’s worth highlighting that dessert options might leave some wanting.
