General remarks:I should qualify my tone for this review, as I had not actually taken in (or noticed to be more precise) the name of this place. I actually walk past the sign on the street most days, and what led me to follow it into the courtyard was "Bonanza coffee", which I do like. But when I asked for a cappuccino and was very apologetically informed that they only serve filter coffee, I knew that this place was not for me. Equally at €3,50 for filter coffee (I have great disdain for this trend) I'm afraid my own Bialetti Moka Espresso was beckoning me. Everything else had the potential for a great place, but filter coffee.... no.

Score: 3,5 / 10
