We stopped by for a coffee break. The atmosphere of the place is very nice. I also liked the music playing. The coffees are made with espresso. When I looked at the menu, there are various sandwiches for breakfast. The waiter also offered us the soup of the day. I will come to this place again by making a breakfast program.

The deco and style of the cafe which located on the corner of the street, with outside seat looks like European coffee shop. I love this vintage pieces like the coffee table legs made from old sewing machines. And absolutely,the taste of the coffee and desert is also amazing. The nutty flavour coffee aroma is enough to keep me coming back for more.

I’ve been gluten free/egg free for a while now so it’s hard to find a good breakfast, but they did it. The boursin avocado toast (gf) was delicious and i even add prosciutto on top!

Had a fantastic time at Cafe Lokal today! It’s got that perfect cozy vibe, and everything was top-notch. The London Fog? Absolute perfection. Warm, soothing, and just the right amount of sweetness. But the real surprise was the breakfast croissant with a boiled egg in it—who knew that combo would be so delicious? Our server was super friendly and quick, which made everything even better. Oh, and don’t skip the bathroom—seriously, the sink is a bicycle! It’s one of those quirky details that makes this place even more memorable. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. Great food, great drinks, and a bathroom experience you won’t forget

This coffee shop has a very pleasant atmosphere, some beautiful framed photos, tables made from things like a stove or a Singer sewing machine, a section with books for both children and adults, and lovely tea cups. The service was very friendly. This cafe is a hidden gem.

I had such a delightful experience at this cafe! The almond croissant was absolutely delicious—rich, flaky, and perfectly baked. Highly recommend trying it! The sandwiches were fresh and tasty, and the matcha latte was not only delicious but also a healthy option, which I really appreciated. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax or spend time with kids. The only downside is that they close at 4 PM, so plan your visit accordingly. Overall, it’s a gem of a place with amazing food and a warm vibe. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Such a great time at the cafe Lokal, as per usual, we waited a bit, but honestly it’s always a pleasure to be seating in this cocooning cafe. The team is really welcoming, smiling and helping. The atmosphere is always warm and the customers nice. The decoration is really atypical and will make you travel in some location in France. Their tables are really original and well thought and designed. Everywhere you look at there is a specific decor who gonna attract your eyes. The food is good, the coffee and other beverages as well. Enjoyable and lovable place, I recommend strongly
