Insomnia is a lovely spot with a really nice, warm, relaxed, and welcoming atmosphere. Even though it’s located right by the shopping centre, it’s surprisingly not too busy, which makes it a perfect place to unwind.
It offers the outdoor seating great for enjoying a coffee when the weather is nice. This time I tried an affogato coffee, a combination of coffee and ice cream, and it was absolutely delicious. The ice cream was especially high quality and paired perfectly with the coffee.
The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

Cool spot to hang out for a good coffee and relaxed time. Has a lot of seating area with WiFi. Try their again bowls if wanna be different from regular coffee.
