Client Testimonial

Ambience and service was great! I like the decoration of the place. It’s so pretty . The food was served pretty fast. There were so many choices to choose from. Reservations is a must. I ordered their pork bowl, ebi fries and butter cream latte. They were alright, not too bad though. The foods are on the pricier side, but the service and ambience made up for it. It’s a beautiful place for gathering.

Came for brunch on Sunday afternoon. The place has a nice ambiance and it was very packed. We had to wait a while for a table which is normal. The food was okay, not anything amazing but it’s definitely acceptable. Price is standard cafe price, so nothing much to complain about. Would definitely drop by here again if around the area.

I didn’t realize they expanded and shifted to a much larger space near the old shophouse spot! It accommodates a lot more tables and it’s so lively on a Saturday night. Game night with free-flow drinks and snacks what could go wrong.

Client Testimonial

The pancake really worked for me. It was thin, but so soft in texture and blended well with the yoghurt and ice-cream. The only thing to improve would have been to reduce the yoghurt and increase the ice-cream scoop size.. The coffee was good as well. The ambience could be better for such a cafe. Anyway, there was a swing, so I am definitely not complaining much about it.

Came here for the first time based on a friend’s recommendation and the cafe was small but the food was unique and tasty, with the coffee also a highlight. Overall the service was great especially from Ms. PJ who was warm and engaging when asked about their items on the menu, and how they are prepared. Ultimately her recommendations were great and we are happy to have gone with her suggestions. Thank you very much!
