The bread: VBM Replica multi-boiler, 3 Anfim Caimanos, temperature set water-boiler.
Espresso: great texture, medium acid, dark cocoa, hints of fruit and caramel.
Flat white: creamy, heaps of coffee coming through the milk served in 5oz cups.
The butter: Bohemian atmosphere but a great mix of people. Super friendly service from knowledgeable staff. Eclectic design that is really laid-back and chill.
Result: this place rocks!
