Adapting a combination of white and wood for its aesthetic, the cafe boasts clean lines and geometric designs reminiscent of its logo: a simple pulse line going down and up. You can grab a seat in the outdoor area where you can enjoy the breeze while staying shaded under the huge white umbrellas. Or you can stay cool and cozy by the tables in the indoor seating area.
