Cafe Nirvana - Murphyville

I recently visited this coffee shop after a busy day of thrift shopping and exploring the antique store nearby. I was surprised to learn that they only accepted cash and didn't serve iced drinks. The owner, who was very friendly, served me. Despite some negative reviews labeling the place as sketchy and unwelcoming, I had a fantastic experience. The owner, originally from Bosnia, had some difficulty with English but was incredibly kind, even giving me a free coffee when I only had a card. This coffee shop stands out for its simplicity, offering authentic and straightforward cappuccinos without any complicated menus or overly sweet drinks. As a former barista, I understand that some customers like flavored milk, but there are also those who appreciate unique small businesses like this one. I believe they have a lot of potential and could benefit from better marketing. In regards to the smoking signs and cigar aroma, I personally did not notice any smell inside the shop. Some customers were smoking outside, but it didn't bother me as the door was kept shut. To those who complain about cigarette smells, it's important to remember that people do smoke, and if it's a major issue for you, staying home might be a better option.

The service at Amar's restaurant was exceptional and the coffee was delicious.
