😠 The coffee was good and the space is bright, however the owner is extremely rude. When ordering a coffee, he answered my question with a demeaning attitude. I went to the bathroom, and instead of politely letting me know that the café was closing, he banged on the door, rushing me and yelling at me... People often mention coffee, good, nice,

    The coffee was good and the space is bright, however the owner is extremely rude. When ordering a coffee, he answered my question with a demeaning attitude. I went to the bathroom, and instead of politely letting me know that the café was closing, he banged on the door, rushing me and yelling at me to get out. Less than five minutes later, he was banging on the door and yelling again. After I exited the restroom, the owner insulted me, using inappropriate words and telling me to go back to my country. I strongly recommend that you don't visit this place because nobody deserves to be treated this way.

    Owner is nice and the place bears its name well. It's cozy to work at. I only took an espresso (good one by the way, I'm an aficionado). I'd go back to taste either the Buddha or Poke Bowl

    This is not a specialty coffee place. Seems that the word “ristretto” is not familiar here. Barista was surprised when I asked for a double shot espresso shortened (ristretto). Despite explaining how ristretto is made, it was absolute rubbish (left it on the table). Watery, extended, tasteless. Cookie was ok, but a bit too sweet. Lady was polite and indoor space is nice (that’s the reason for two starts instead of one).

    Bright cafe for matcha latte and bagels and a few bottled craft beer

    Service was a bit slow even first thing in the morning.. One staff member at the table, one out the back.. A little slow making the coffee too. Cappuccino is okay but has that distinct creamy milk taste that some coffee has here.. Coffee is big for 3€ though. Haven't tried the food but it looks like it would be nice. Very cool neat little Cafe.

    Opening up a hospitality business requires hospitality, one thing you can’t find here. It’s a pity for that community based neighbourhood!

    Amazing place to enjoy matcha and coffee served hot or cold, very nice desserts especially the carrot cake, love their salmon bagel and salade chèvre. I enjoy studying there, and very cozy atmosphere

    One very nice coffee place , with a nice barista with good skills at making a true capucino.

    High quality speciality coffee, lovely location (close to the train station), awesome customer service, and lovely interior. One of the best coffee places I’ve been to in France. Well done!

    Coffee is good, but the food is barely acceptable, I ordered a Buddha bowl and I received a mix of canned food without any taste that was served in a takeaway box. Wouldn’t come back

    I would go to this coffee shop at least 3 times a week when I was studying abroad here in Lyon. Very friendly staff and they always greeted me with a smile. Coffee and desserts were delicious and the environment was the coziest of any coffee shop I visited in Lyon.

    I tried to buy a coffee this morning but was refused service. I asked for a coffee to take away if this was possible but was also refused this with no explanation. The staff member aggressively said "No" and crossed her arms. I was very polite and then the manager said it was ok to make me a coffee but at this point I wanted to leave because the service was so rude.

👍 Nice experience in this new restaurant. Gentle staff, there is a nice feeling. I recommend the salads which are super tasty and creative. Could not experience the fresh juice as the restaurant seems to have some teething problems but I will come back in a few weeks to try more.
