Great little spot serving decent coffee in Trinco town. The service is fantastic. We were served by Bevan and the barista, Ilham, who were very hospitable and knowledgeable. They shared some great tips for Trinco. I recommend having a coffee here.

The café is located in the 2nd floor. You have to go inside the store and take the stairs. Very nice place to sit and relax. It‘s a contrast to the busy streets of Trinco. The staff is really friendly and the coffee is great. The washroom is located upstairs. Next to it is like a terrace with a nice view of trinco. Maybe someday you can even sit here to enjoy your coffee.

Great spot for a REAL coffee :) They just moved (april 2025) to the first floor of the building with the Iron store "Irfan" on the ground floor. A small 200m from the former place on Google Maps. See the photos. You get to go through the iron store and go to the first floor with the stairs in the back. Atmosphere upstairs is nice.

Totally unexpected wonderful coffee spot tucked away in the centre of Trinco. We ordered iced americano and after a bit of confusion were served genuinely high quality speciality coffee with great flavours!
