Quills can be many things to many people. It can be a very good cup of coffee, or the catalyst for innovative ideas.

A Real Coffee 'House'
Coffee houses have played an important role in history. Many ideas have been thought of, developed, refined, and executed at a corner coffee shop. I have set out to create a true European coffee house, one where people come together to share ideas, talk with one another, do business, build relationships and help society as a whole progress.
