I've never encountered such hostility before, and it's shocking that they're still operating. I urge other minorities to spend their hard-earned money at a different place where they will be valued. This establishment might as well change its name to Java Hate, as it would be a more fitting description of the atmosphere.

The staff was all Gen Z, and most of the other customers were as well, creating an atmosphere that felt a bit disconnected. The place was quite busy and noisy during my visit, and the seating felt cramped. The bathroom also left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness. I’m deducting an extra star for not offering reusable mugs or cups for drinks. I ordered a cup of tea, which was good quality, but I didn’t see any vegan options on the menu—it honestly didn’t look like they had any. Thankfully, there's a Veggie Heaven nearby."

The staff was primarily Gen Z, which, combined with the overall crowd, didn’t create the most welcoming vibe. During my visit, the place was quite busy and loud, making the seating feel cramped. The restroom also left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness. I’m deducting an extra star because they didn’t offer any reusable mugs or cups for drinks. I did try a cup of tea, which was of good quality. However, I’m not sure if they have any vegan options, as it honestly didn’t seem like they did. Thankfully, there’s Veggie Heaven nearby.
