One of the charms and perks of living in the city is to walk everywhere and discover a gem cafe like this. Their name suggests that they devote high dedication to a cup of coffee. I respect that.

God is His own law and the law of all things is in His freedom. Therefore the stars serve Him freely and the sun rises with a song of joy and the clean gentle speechless moon goes down to her bed without protest.” Thomas Merton
