Coffee Obsession by Anette Moldvaer Located between what appears to be a now-shut jewellery shop and Solito Fashions and Tailors, the space is not very big, though it has managed to squeeze in a large communal table and a few other places to sit.

In addition to its increased concentration, the high-pressure gave espresso its now signature crema, the naturally occurring coffee-foam that forms atop espresso.
