Other information:
As I mentioned above, we have been operating since 2012 in the heart of Nicosia. The times were very bad for the old town and it was one of the first cafes that dared to open at that time, in the midst of crisis and other issues that plagued the old town. The store helped us in the effort of the Municipality for the development of the area, something that absolutely succeeded.
