basel | fumare non fumare

In between two doors and two separate yet similar spaces behind each doors, this identical name stuck on both doors. A moment of confusion and I pushed into the right – which turned out to be the ‘fumare’ section. In their website, Unternehmen Mitte spells out their concept.

Mitte which translates to ‘middle’ is a “concept venue for human nature in an old building of a bank and now is a transshipment point for work, culture and above all else : for good coffee.”

I’m glad that in a state of timezone confusion, I was still able to hit bull’s eye when it came to cafe hunting. Just a waste on good espresso though, I came and left in a daze.
