Yes, for specialty lovers · consistent coffee, from a local roaster with its own profile, served by two people reviews look for by name. The space is small, with stairs at the entrance.

The story

A specialty café at Strada Tighina 20, in the centre, open Monday to Friday from 7:30 to 19:30, Saturday 8:00-20:00, Sunday 8:00-18:00. No website. Reviews describe a new café "quickly making a name for itself in town": it takes coffee seriously, works with a local roaster to fine-tune the beans to its own profile, and espresso and filter are "consistently good". Julia and Julian, who serve, are named in several reviews · "absolutely wonderful", with perfect English and "always happy to talk coffee"; one customer got "a perfect cacao latte" on a day of heavy snow, others came three days in a row and got a long black made specially on request. The space is small, "cosy", with a warm welcome · "hi, how do you feel?". The wooden chairs could be more comfortable, someone notes, the soft ones are perfect. Per Google data, the entrance is not wheelchair accessible · the stairs are steep, notes one guest for those with small children.

  • “This new cafe is quickly making a name for itself in town. They take their coffee seriously, working with a local roaster to fine-tune beans to their own profile. Brews are consistently good—espresso or filter—and in the mornings you’ll usually find pastry. The vibe is calm and unpretentious, though the gray walls start getting at you after a while. Be aware (if you’re coming w…”

  • “Great place! I stopped in for a hot drink and respite from the heavy snow. It was nice to be greeted warmly by Julia (hope I remembered the name correctly) she made a perfect cacao latte. I also met another staff member Julio who was just as friendly and I had a good conversation with them. I would highly recommend this place for its warm welcoming atmosphere and staff. Wish I …”
