What they’re saying

“You come here for an experience more than you come here for a coffee. You come here, you see everyone, you see the people who are coming to get productive. You see the people who are here with their family. You see different generations coming together, which is rare these days. The connection between the two generations, you come and see the cultural aspect of sites, and you come and find the contemporarily new modern drinks and areas of the coffee shops.”
