The café side of juusu serves freshly brewed coffee and suits a quick bite or a slower evening. Coffee provides an approachable choice for a daytime pause, while the restaurant setting supports a more considered dining experience. Handcrafted cocktails are also part of the drinks selection, creating an option for guests looking beyond coffee during an evening visit.
