The coffee shop looks amazing, real aesthetic and natural, the taste of coffee really good, but the service was horrible. The girls who served me didn't want to give me sugar, because they said it's a specialty coffee. Ok, no doubt, but the customer decides how she/he prefers to drink the coffee. They were a bit rude and unprofessional. Of course, I will go back, because I liked the place, but if they keep acting like that, I won't let tips for sure:) Later edit: I don't know who even does that, but I came today again because I really liked the coffee and I also wanted to see if the service has been improved, and through my surprise, they appologised for the misunderstanding and served in a very nice and professional manner. They even gave me sugar without asking for it I really appreciate it, because they took in consideration my opinion as a customer and that's how a brand actually grows :) I recommend this place from the heart and wish the best to this business

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with friendly staff and a stylish design. The music is well chosen and at just the right volume, making it easy to enjoy a good conversation. The food is delicious, and there’s a wide variety of drinks to choose from. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to.

we've held some meetings in this cozy location and we spent beautiful moments. The host is very kind and the healthy menu we've got was amazing. Also, origin coffee and drinks covered all our complicated tastes :)) I strongly recommend DODA5 for the atmosphere and also for the co-working space and meeting room. Excellent services!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ I only had coffee and drinks, and they were absolutely 5-star quality—really delicious! The wait time after ordering was a bit longer than expected, though. The place itself is beautiful, with a great atmosphere and good vibes all around.
