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)

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.
