I think I've just stumbled upon an absolute gem! Wild Shape Café is located in the hearth of Banská Bystrica, and yet it was empty during one of the busiest days of the year (BB Marathon). The drinks are simply wonderful, the staff is helpful and sweet, atmosphere? *chef kiss!!* There is nothing I could criticise even if I wanted to. Thank you for this amazing experience. I will drag all of my friends here from now on. :D
