😠 We came following the good reviews, I took a smoothie (orange kiwi apple lime), we waited a bit, and it was undrinkable. We politely asked the waiter, he tasted it and said it was "maybe the lime" admitting it was not good. He then still made us pay drinks we could not even finished. Bad experience.

    "Waiter Arrogance! Today, 30th June 2023, at 12:30 noon, I visited this café with my elderly mom. As she doesn't speak Albanian, I wanted to order something for her and then head to my own job. However, the waiter with short hair told me that we couldn't stay in the café if we were only ordering one drink (a Crodino). I explained to him that I wouldn't sit down and was just accompanying my elderly mom. Nevertheless, his way of talking and body language was rude and arrogant. As a result, we decided to leave the café. I don't recommend this place to anyone; there are many other cafés in this neighborhood that are much better."

    (Translated by Google) Very noisy cafe. Around the car, stink, smoke, people walk, it’s hot. They don’t know how to make cold coffee! The service is not diligent, to dump. 😐 (Original) Очень шумное кафе. Вокруг авто, вонь, дым, люди ходят, жарко. Холодный кофе делать не умеют! Обслуживание не старательное, на отвали. 😐

    There is indoor and outdoor seatings but it's a bit noisy as it's close to the main road. Coffee is ok and service is ok.

    I like this place, it's nice here. It has a beautiful architecture, but the tables are very close with each other so it should be more space or less tables. Everything else is great.

    Had smoothies here yesterday. They were very nice but took a while as they had the electricity turned off to repair some lighting. The price was about average for Tirana

    I recently visited Tomtom coffee bar with the hope of enjoying a pleasant morning with a cup of coffee and a piece of toast. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory, and I left feeling frustrated and disheartened. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere of the coffee shop seemed promising. However, any positivity quickly dissipated when we encountered an impolite and unhelpful waiter. Not only did he fail to provide adequate information about the menu, but his demeanor was rude and dismissive. Upon reviewing the menu, we noticed that a "Kafe+Briosh" was priced at 130, and a "Kafe+Tost" at 150. We assumed that these prices included a cup of coffee, as the name clearly indicated "Kafe" (meaning coffee) and “+”. However, when the waiter presented us with the receipt after serving two cups of coffee along with the briosh and tost, we were shocked to see an additional charge of 300 for the coffee. Seeking clarification, we politely inquired about the discrepancy. Instead of attempting to rectify the situation, the waiter responded with a condescending tone. He rudely explained that the coffees should have been espressos, as if it were common knowledge. It was deeply disappointing to encounter such unprofessional and disrespectful behavior. Feeling both deceived and mistreated, we reluctantly agreed to pay the extra charge for the coffees and requested the espressos that should have come with the briosh and tost. The waiter begrudgingly brought us the espressos but made no effort to make amends for the confusion or his impolite demeanor. He even gave us another receipt for the additional espressos which was an additional 160. This entire experience left a sour taste in my mouth, both literally and figuratively. Not only did we end up paying more for our breakfast than we initially anticipated, but the lack of transparency, combined with the impolite behavior of the waiter, made for an unpleasant visit. As a tourist seeking a pleasant and enjoyable start to the day, I had expected better from this coffee shop. Regrettably, they failed to meet even the most basic standards of customer service and respect. I strongly advise other visitors to reconsider their choice of this establishment, as the combination of hidden costs and impolite staff detracts from what should have been a positive experience.

👍👍 The house salad is next level. The squid was a bit chewy, but the pistachio soufflé has become my favorite dessert in Tirana. The service is great and even the bread and butter taste good! Plus, you can pay with credit card. Absolutely love this place.
