It is located inside the 13 story Populus Hotel, which has a modern, nature inspired design. Close to the city center, it's a pleasant and aesthetically pleasing place. You can find coffee and light snacks. The coffee was delicious. Alex was friendly and welcoming and helped us, thanks to her. It was a nice experience.

I just came in for coffee, but this bar/restaurant is beautiful! The staff was very welcoming and kind. I sat at the bar although there is a different area for coffee the bartender was happy to go order for me. I ordered an iced coffee and it was perfect. The food coming out of the restaurant looked incredible although I didn’t have any. The building is super cool on the outside and stunning on the inside. I love the mix of modern and earthy.

This spot was the perfect place to relax and enjoy a morning in the city. The barista shared that it’s a carbon-free hotel, which made the experience even more unique. The menu was unlike anything I’ve seen before, full of creative options. I decided to try something completely outside of my usual order, and I was blown away by the flavor combinations. A true must-visit!

I was nearby and looking for a place to grab a coffee and hopefully have a comfy place to sit and study. I'm glad I came by, it's truly a unique and special place, with tasty coffee drinks, a few pastries, and a variety of seating options across two floors. My coffee was cold and refreshing, and there was ceramic mugs to fill from water jugs scattered throughout
