A quite nice atmosphere although I was only allowed to be outside. The concept of books and Cafe,Bar can attract many lovers of reading and culture. There was quite intense in the area but a quite good fit, giving a positive vibe. Different discussions were going around, giving a sense of understanding and welcome.

A good neighbourhood coffee place with a decent amount of space to sit through the back. Prices are fine and the decor is pleasantly eclectic.
