A cool cafe, both physically and figuratively. The smooth Arabic electronic beats dance around the smooth wooden surfaces and house plants sitting on the walls. Staff are immediately friendly and attentive and there's a good amount of seating so that I feel like I can take my time. Although the chilly interior makes me want to either wear gloves or dash outside into the sunshine, the seating is so comfortable that it tugs me back down to stay for a while. A member of staff eagerly offered me the wifi password on seeing me get out my laptop which is a good sign that customers are well looked after. I'm not the best cook, but I could have prepared a better bowl than what I was given for nearly 15 euros. Though there were lots of fresh ingredients which is usually where corners are cut, the taste was bitter and bland. The beetroot and apple juice was lovely though and served as a necessary accompaniment to raise the main dish a little. The banana cake was not cooked through so there was still a little raw batter in the middle. It's a shame that the food is really not of a high standard, especially given the higher price, but given how well they cater to those with gluten intolerances and other dietary requirements as well as the great atmosphere and furniture, it's definitely one of the better cafes I've been to and would recommend anyone to give it a try if you're in the area.

Workability

4/5

There aren't any plug sockets, but laptops aren't discouraged and in fact somewhat encouraged by staff offering the wifi code to laptop sitters. The music is relaxing and at a low enough volume to not be distracting. There's a toilet and the tables are large enough to place everything one might need. Seating is also so comfortable that you barely even notice them even after a couple of hours. The major downside is the temperature, and this is likely due to the time of year-- where it's not cold enough to turn on the heating and not warm enough that the cool interior would be comfortable. The cafe was nice and empty though which is always a big win for workability.

Gluten Free Options

3/5

gluten-free items are clearly marked even if there aren't that many. That's still a pretty big win for gluten avoiders!

Health Focus

4/5

Everything on the menu was appealing to somebody's idea of a healthy meal. With that many bowls and smoothie bowls you've got plenty of choice. There are cakes and pastries, but these aren't a central focus and aren't even included in the food menu. There are also fruit juices on offer, though no smoothies.

Drinks

3/5

Fruit juice is very nice and the matcha latte is made reasonably well. A little overpriced for what's on offer, but they're not bad at all.
