Growing up I’ve always been fascinated by owls or cartoons/drawings of owls, so it was natural for me to pay this place a visit as soon as I came across it’s instagram page. Sowa is a small yet beautifully decorated cafe, it’s minimal in both it’s seatings and design. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re going along with a group of people, the place is just too small for that. But if you’re alone and want a cute spot to chill or get some work done on your laptop, this place is pretty good. I only had the Spanish Latte here and it was alright, nothing out of this world. If you’re looking for something better than that you can definitely try other places. But that only goes for the Spanish Latter though, I’m sure everything else is worth trying out as well.
