Yet another coffee shop that I just had to check out!…read more
Location: unspectactular, as it's set in a street with 3 coffee shops right next to it, but still in the middle of town and it's a nice spot to sit for a while, either outside in the sun or inside in the roomy shop itself. It's brand new and the design is modern and cute, the counter makes up one entire side of the shop though.
Food: The name, when translated, means 'Sweet & Spicy', so it's only logical that you can get a variety of different food here. On the one side of the counter you can get savoury (Italian) snacks like Tramezzini & Panini, while the other side will satisfy your sweet tooth with plenty of cake and other sweet things. I only tried the cheesecake so far, and it was ok...not perfect (because I didn't make it myself), but good! ;) The cake fell a bit into pieces when the guy behind the counter moved it onto my plate, but he swiftly gave me a discount, which was pretty neat...
Coffee: Decent, nothing special, sadly. They do offer anything you could wish for in coffee specialities, but they taste just like every other (chain) coffee shop down the road, and they definitely have to practise a bit more on how to use the coffee machine. Shame, really!
Service: Slow! I am sure they will get faster as soon as they get the hang of it - opening weeks are always chaotic and confusing - but I sincerely hope they manage to do so soon, because I am already fed up of waiting 5 minutes in front of the counter just because it takes so long to get my coffee done...
Bottom line:
* Acceptable food & coffee
* a bit too slow and chaotic
* nothing spectacular, just another coffee shop in a road full of them
* They definitely need to try harder!
