This place is amazing itself: it’s cozy, stylish,
tranquil and here you can share our passion with
anyone! Here the team came up with the idea to open
space for stays, corporate events, yoga retreats, any
activities which suits the spirit, but introduction to
coffee is a must. They tailored a coffee tour to be
interesting to a broader audience, it would be right
to say: to different levels of coffee nerdiness.
So now there is also a course for complete new-

these days. Although people are interested in edu-
cational courses, they still remain suspended… Here It’s a cultural and
is where the project team met their main obstacle:
what should they do in such circumstances? creative coffee shop,
Foreigners and coffee professionals were heart
and blood for the project! The team is still eager to a public welfare base,
share their knowledge and keep the place running,
providing work opportunities for local people. So and an enterprise
they started to think broader and asked themselves:
“Why coffee pros only?” that incubates
