Simple menu and they are an operating coffee factory, with lots of old industrial coffee-processing machinery on display. Get samples of their coffees in their large store.

Local homestyle breakfast and brunch eatery for those with large appetites. The food is very good, portions are usually shareable. Expect a wait time, usually no longer than 10-15 minutes as it is a large establishment. They've been in business for many years and still loved by locals!
