This hip café is decorated with reclaimed tables scattered around in a casual and intentionally disorganized way. The barista speaks enough English and the service is slow, however, the coffee and the French toast are worth the wait. If you are after an Instagram-worthy casual meal, you’ll thoroughly enjoy your experience at Grandknot Coffee. They make their own coffee from scratch, so this is an ideal place for all the coffee lovers.
