From the FlipTrip editors
Our personal café recommendations, chosen by the FlipTrip team.
-
94° | SPECIALTY COFFEE BRAND
FlipTrip: Try the cheesecake made by the owner — it is worth coming back for. The coffee is excellent too, so you cannot go wrong with a slice and a cup.
-
TIMS · Bakery & Café
FlipTrip: A lovely spot for breakfast, coffee and freshly baked pastries. Zendaya and Tom Holland have stopped by too.
-
Tact
FlipTrip: Excellent coffee for anyone who loves a carefully made cup. The owner often prepares it himself and is happy to share his knowledge. Stay for breakfast — it is just as good.
-
Birdie Cafe
FlipTrip: Come for the pastries: the co-owner, an experienced pastry chef from Kazakhstan, makes them herself, and they are exceptional. The coffee is good too, but the baking steals the show.
