“5 stars for the interior decor, choice of lamps & warm tones to match the earthy colours of coffee, lagers and pastries. Good range of coffee beans for hot or iced coffee. I went for Mellow Dawn which worked well for a hot cuppa latte. The tiramisu is non-alcoholic and compliments coffee well. Will return to try the beer and signature alcoholic beverages.” – Lucas

“Back for the 3rd time. Love the army stew, a very big serving for one person at a very reasonable price for the number of ingredients and taste. Recommended to share and get something else like the scrambled eggs plates which are as nice! Drinks are good and creative as well! Staff and friendly and polite. A must to visit!” – Huiyu
