We love hand drip coffee and they have a nice selection of beans here. The baristas are knowledgeable and you can get the full spectrum of taste from their coffee. Bora our barista was so helpful and fun. We sat at the bar counter to watch her make our coffee and the food was good. Had a great experience.
