Latti Matti

This café has a somewhat eclectic menu with a partial Turkish influence, offering items like börek, sarma, and köfte alongside more standard café fare such as bagels, soups, salads, and a wide range of smoothies. It gives the impression of a place trying to cater to a broad range of tastes rather than specialising too heavily in one direction.

The atmosphere is unusual, though not necessarily in a bad way. On arriving, someone who appeared to be a customer stood up from an outside table to welcome me, hand over a menu, and ask if I knew what I wanted. Shortly afterwards, an older woman emerged from the back to ask the same thing. The whole interaction felt slightly chaotic but also oddly personal and informal.

Unfortunately, the croissants had already sold out, so no verdict there. The matcha latte, however, was a disappointment. It was intensely bitter, to the point that it felt either badly proportioned or made with particularly low-grade matcha.

Atmosphere-wise, there’s almost no intentional ambience. No music was playing during the visit, leaving only the constant drone of what sounded like an air conditioning unit filling the space.

Overall, it’s a slightly peculiar but memorable café with a broad food offering and a very informal feel, though the drink quality and atmosphere leave room for improvement.
