A quaint spot with luxurious sweets. This ray of light opened up between the first Coronavirus lockdowns(!) and survived to tell the tale. Like many things that are extraordinarily pretty, it looks better than it tastes, but still worth the calories.

This is a mix between a co-working space, artist gallery, artist workshop and café/bar. A good place to stop to get refreshed, work on that e-mail or check out the alternative scene. The Moroccan gardens, which are outside the beautiful doors of the North African Jewish Heritage Museum, are definitely worth a look, perhaps the museum itself too.
