The cafe’s friendly and helpful staff speaks English, making it easy for tourists and expats to order and communicate. The staff is always willing to offer recommendations and suggestions, making sure that every customer feels welcome and valued. It just ‘feels’ more lively since the university is nearby, great location!

For those who need to get some work done or stay connected, 505 Cafe offers Wi-Fi and I often see people working there. Notably, (even posted on Reddit) the cafe also has a great selection of music, if you’re a Arctic Monkey’s fan. The music always feels perfectly curated to match the vibe of the cafe, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
