Monochrome

The café provides fantastic service with friendly and attentive baristas who make customers feel welcome. The setting is calming and well-designed, featuring a gallery of rotating black-and-white photography, making it an appealing spot for both coffee enthusiasts and art lovers. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, often described as relaxing and conducive to enjoying a good book or chatting with friends, rather than for long hours of laptop work due to the lack of Wi-Fi and sometimes loud music.

Seating is comfortable with a mix of options around a central bar, and while there are no specific mentions of electrical plugs, the space feels welcoming and relaxed. The café interior is decorated with antique cameras and chic furniture, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal.

Renowned for excellent coffee, this café offers a variety of coffee-based beverages like flat white, piccolo, and signature drinks such as the Monochrome Cascara and Dirty Coffee. The coffee quality, including pour-over with Thai beans, is consistently praised, highlighted by the fragrant, balanced coffee often complemented by artful latte designs.

While the café doesn’t provide an extensive food menu, there is a selection of attractive cheesecake desserts and some home-baked goods like the Swiss Mountain cake that are appreciated by many. The place can get busy during lunch hours but remains a favorite for its coffee, ambiance, and friendly staff.
