It is not just an “escape” for anyone who needs a break from their day-to-day work but also becomes a place for friends to hang out and even a venue for businessman to meet. We want to provide people - regardless of their age, occupation, or location - a unique experience: a coffee shop as a place to relax, work and make friends.…
