This is a great spot to enjoy a coffee, the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. However, some people tend to work here for long stretches, occupying tables for hours, which makes it difficult to find a seat, especially in the shaded areas. It would be helpful if the cafe implemented guidelines or limits on working during peak hours, or perhaps provided a large communal table for those working, so that one person doesn’t occupy an entire big table

A very nice, quiet, and hidden book café with a great vibe. The staff are very polite, and the place is also very hygienic. The only downside is that it closes at 6.
