If you want to feel like a giant, visit here! I didn't think it was possible to make a coffee this small and then to charge nearly 6 euro was just insane.

Busy at peak timesCoffee
Aoife Nic ShamhráinJanuary 2026 · via Google

The coffee itself is genuinely delicious, and I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, the pricing and setup let it down. A mocha costs €5.25, which feels very expensive given that the only size available is a tiny 6-ounce cup. For that price, the portion just doesn’t make sense.
The drive-through layout is also problematic. There’s very limited space, and cars quickly back up onto a busy road, which feels unsafe and stressful rather than convenient.
Great coffee, but the value for money and the unsafe drive-through design mean it’s not an ideal experience overall.

Beautiful little spot for friends to catch up. Always busy (the most reliable sign of a good place to be!); I would recommend without hesitation to visit whether you're local, visiting or just in need of some caffeine and a little boost on a rainy day.
