★ Barista's tip

After an hour solving puzzles in an escape room or a virtual reality session, the brain needs fuel. Our double espresso restarts the engine in 30 seconds. And for groups wanting to celebrate their victory (or console their defeat), our gourmet cheese and charcuterie board is the best podium there is.
