I like the atmosphere. The matcha latte was 4.5 euro although I couldn’t see any prices on the black board. We used take away cups because the waitress told us they are closing at 5pm, but in the end there were more people coming in and order after 5pm.

Lovely little cafe. The coffee is rather enjoyable, the cakes are really nice and the service is great, fun and friendly! The interior is lovely which, in combination with a fun music selection, makes this café a great space to spend some time.

Plain croissant is delicious. Outside seating is not comfortable and inside can be nicer/cozier. Decaf coffee could also be better.

LUC is such a jewel!! Perfect music; they bake their own pastries , the coffee is of the highest quality ( not burnt, not bitter), they offer a variety of “milk” options and most importantly THE STAFF have been called LEGENDARY and I agree. FYI: NO CASH (only for tips )

This cafe is very quaint and the menu is simple with great coffee. It has all the baked goods and they offer some brunch items. Highly recommend if you’re in the area. Their croissant was scrumptious paired with a cappuccino.
