Very nice place and location. It is a walking distance from subway station. Nice coffe place to get together or to review books. The only bad point is to the lack of free wifi for guests.

Great place to read and grab a cup of coffee. The guy at the reception is very helpful.

Immediate yes. The coffee is great and the bookstore just has a great vibe. Cool art on the walls. Great place for unique souvenirs or a special new book.
