You enter the café through an old shop door and walk on oak flooring; into a Parisian atmosphere with high ceilings, moldings, and columns.  The décor revolves around a “coffee laboratory” concept; with square white tiles, grid lighting, stainless steel, industrial plastic curtains and laboratory glassware.
