There’s an easy kind of shape-shifting here. Coffee shop by day, wine-fueled hangout by night. The room is roomy without feeling soulless, sun streaking through tall windows onto mismatched chairs and a patio where pals cluster over spritzers. Staff flirt familiarity. You’ll return to find a new varietal or friendly nod, not pretentious gravitas. It’s the kind of place where you accidentally stay too long, because it somehow suits every hour you bring yourself there.
Soju with passionfruit, guava and sparkling
Prosecco mixed with Cappelletti Apertivo aperitif

Medjool dates wrapped in bacon. Sweet, salty, and shareable.
