You see it immediately when you step inside: wood, plants, Japanese and Brazilian accents - no hipster excess, but an atmosphere that's right. The coffee makers know what they're doing; you get espressos, filter coffee ánd Brazilian beans that stand out in the city. The latte art is neat, but not overly showy; you come there for the coffee, but linger to experience the space.
What makes the concept interesting is the intersection of cultures. Brazilian as well as Japanese influences run through the choices: what beans are used, what pastries are included, what setting. The menus are not long, but thoughtful. There are perfectly balanced espressos, light filter options, and occasionally something special for those who want to try.
What's nice about this location: it sits on a street that you often walk by with other plans, but The Coffee invites you to turn away. You can go there for a morning shot of coffee, a quiet afternoon with a book, or a quick stop between appointments. No rush, just taste.
The customers? People who want something more than standard coffee, but not an overdone setting. You see local residents, people who want a good cup on the way to work, and students or creatives who take time for a chat. Music is soft, lighting pleasant, no garish visual stimuli - just right for this street.
"The Coffee proves that good beans and character go hand in hand, without fuss."
What sets The Coffee apart from other specialty coffee shops: it's not a minimalist work of art, but a practical space with character. Originality is in the choices of beans, in little touches (tableware, presentation), in the changing pastries, and in how the baristas prepare your treat with care.
In short: if you fancy a good cup without excessive fuss, but with character and variety, The Coffee is the place to discover.
