Under the concept of A-Temporal Romance, this café is housed in "La Colecturía," the vestige of a property full of history. With a blend of contemporary French vintage style, a feminine ambiance is created from softness, where poetry, ceramics, and coffee are the protagonists of this story. Preserving part of the vestige, beams, plasterwork, and alms walls were restored, integrating natural materials such as lime-based plasters, natural oak, and oak burned using the yakisugi technique; handcrafted mosaics and wrought iron with glass tapestry that emulates the 1920s era.
