Очень вкусные боулы) Хорошее обслуживание) Заказ делается оперативно на кассе, дают номерок. В доступе есть кран с питьевой водой и стаканами. Бесплатно для детишек яблоки)) Кофе вкусный, но тёплый. Для любителей горячего кофе, лучше заранее говорить об этом на кассе))

This place quickly became one of fav cafes in the city. It truly stands by the concept in the name and is made with attention to the tiniest details. It’s interior is extremely minimalistic yet distinguished among all of the same-looking minimalistic cafes. It features simple yet carefully crafted menu. Their bowls were highly enjoyable. Perfect laptop-friendly place for having a quick wholesome lunch with quality ingredients that makes you wanna return again. Service is on point and drinks menu is varied.

I visited this place twice, for breakfast, in both occasions. I was pleased with my order and service. Although, I am definitely not their target customer, i would return in my next visit to the city and i would get the same once again: scrambled eggs with butter and toasts.

Nothing Fancy. ???????????????? Come and eat the most delicious mushroom scrambled egg sandwich in the world! An all-day brunch shop with super beautiful floor to ceiling windows. I chose the mushroom scrambled egg that i have been thinking about. And i tried the oatmeal bowl, so delicious! • Mushroom scrambled egg toast ( грибной тост со скрэмблом и пармезаном ) Is really. It tastes cold and has a strong butter aroma four kinds of mushrooms are fried and sprinkled with cheese and baked until crispy. The scrambled eggs are spread with truffle cream cheese sauce, and the most important thing is that the scrambled eggs are tender and soft! If you like mushrooms and cheese, don't miss this one. Must eat it while it's hot, it's twice as delicious! • каша all in на овсяной крупе Steaming oatmeal, cooked with coconut milk, it's so comfortable to have such a bowl of energy oatmeal in winter. The ingredients are even richer, bananas, blueberries, mangoes, coconut flakes, pecans, peanut butter, nut butter, cranberries.... Full of ingredients, the taste is really rich, and every bite has a different flavor. • смузи Blue Moon Delicious too!! I thought it was a dark dish from the color, but it turned out to be surprisingly delicious! Based on banana milk, coconut, blue matcha (I'm curious what blue matcha is), and banana puree are added. The overall taste is that of a healthy milkshake. • Алатте The overall impression of his family is very good. If you like strong taste. Dont really like this, sorry. Recommend Nothing Fancy, come and try it, you won't regret it..... ????????????????

Оформили предзаказ в приложении на 20:40 так как к этому времени только должны были приехать в Питер, позвонил администратор и попросил принять заказ в 8, потому что работают до 20:00, но мы ехали в поезде объяснив ситуацию, что очень устали и хотели бы поесть, нам не отказали в нашей просьбе и не дали умереть с голоду. Так же были в самом заведение обслуживание вежливое, ожидание недолгое , еда вкусная. Спасибо за такой качественный сервис !
