Amazing sunny spot outside Bella vista metro. Great outdoor seating. Friendly owner and customised a toasted sandwich - roast veg, halloumi, pesto on Turkish! Yum and a tasty peanut butter smoothie. And thank you for looking after my smoothie and shopping while I went to my appointment 😁you definitely went above and beyond!!

A great cafe in Bella Vista area. On top of classic cafe dishes, they also offer signature dishes that change from time to time. During my visit I opted for healthy and nourishing dishes: Cranberry Granola Bowl, Buddha Bowl and Avocado Toast. Every dish was beautifully plated and delightful. The highlight for me was the avocado toast. Classic dish that goes next level! Highly recommend. Their homemade baked goodies that I love so far: Blueberry & Ricotta Muffin and gluten-free Banana Bread (can’t believe it’s gluten free! Even better than the usual banana bread). Coffee is awesome, from seven miles coffee roasters. It’s worth to mention that parking is easy to find (many parking spots in the complex).

I ordered a matcha and had a disappointing experience with the staff’s behaviour ( a man in his late 50s, white and bald- no disrespect but a description of the staff). While taking my order, the man serving me openly mocked matcha in front of other customers, saying it “tastes like grass” and questioning why anyone would like it. This felt unprofessional and disrespectful. The drink itself was poorly made — mostly milk and honey with barely any matcha. For $8, it was not worth it. I expect staff to be respectful and professional, regardless of personal opinions. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case here. Update: The owner did ultimately provide a full refund as promised, which I appreciate. Although he privately expressed strong dissatisfaction with my review and questioned my character, he honoured his original commitment to refund me. I am updating this review to reflect that outcome.

Coffee was 10/10! The owner was absolutely lovely and truly made our morning. He even opened up the coffee machine just for us while we were passing by. Amazing service and great vibes — highly recommend!

This cozy cafe in Bella Vista serves great coffee! Although we didn’t try the food, the menu looked delicious, and they also offer catering. Located right by the Bella Vista Metro and across from the bus stop, it's a perfect spot for a quick coffee on the go. Service was quick, even with four coffees, and the staff were super friendly.
