This place is an absolute vibe! Such cool atmosphere in the courtyard, we came here several times during our stay in Cluj for coffee & beer, very affordable too, highly recommend!!

The atmosphere is the main reason to come here. Boho, chill and I like the amount of plants. I had tea and it was good. Customer service isn't the best.

Amazing staff and atmosphere, music is always great and they're open to suggestions. It's always a fun time when I come around. ( P.s. I miss the cute, blonde waitress, she was really nice)

Great cheap drinks, fast service and good music. Room outside in the garden is sparce and crowded after 6pm, but with good people and pets.

The most sweet & frendly place from Cluj,with the most great and tasty drinks and food with good prices from Cluj.The atmosfere is relaxing and great ,the place is clean everywhere .We ( me & my husband )comeing here every week is our favorite place.Congratiolations to all persones who are working here they are doing an amasing job.

It was a cozy and lovely place that we came across while walking. Staff was helpful and their cocktail menu is pretty good. The garden is cool for spending time during nice weather.

We got here when they just opened at 11am. We were the first to be served, doubted a little bit to stay because there was no one else around and there was no music playing. Glad we did after a while the whole place filled up with friendly good vibes people and there was good music :) Will come again when I'm in Cluj.
