One of the best people watching patios in Tartu. The coffee is good, I especially like that they sell hard boiled eggs, 4min and 9min and they peel very easily. Friendly staff !

Amazing light foods such as puddings and wraps, tasty coffee from lattes to frappes to others, and brilliant service. Amazingly cozy interior with modern, industrial vibes. Great for families or students or anyone really. Would visit again ten times out of ten.

Quick service. Simple breakfast place. Dont expect anything to posh. Its just nice clean simple place to grab a quick bite and good coffee. I had Cesar salad(simple chicken salad with lots of mayo) fresh but far from original cesar salad. Black coffee was very good.

Vegan options available! Lovely staff and very patient while I stumbled through my non-existent Estonian. They spoke to me in English and the vegan curry tofu wrap and vegan chia mango pudding were awesome.
