Stumbled upon this cafe/bar/library when dropping our luggage in for the day. Looks to be an old carpark converted into a wonderful chill space. Ducted air conditioning to escape the summer heat. Great coffee!!

étudiant une année à rome, j'ai passé ma vie là bas le café et le repas sont super bon et pas chers on s'y sent bien, on peut être à l'aise le monsieur qui tient le bar est attentionné le seul inconvénient pour les étudiants : réviser après 18 - 19 peut être compliqué, il y a souvent des évènements et donc des musiques assez fortes qui peuvent déconcentrer

Beautiful unique space, fuels you to get creative / productive! Highly recommend if you want a day to work/read/relax. Feels just like your living room but better. Very cozy, nice buffet, good food.
