It was a Sunday tea time. Its business is good. I gotta line up for a seat. After 15 mins, I was assigned to sit at the bar table facing to the street. I ordered an oat milk cappuccino first and the shopkeeper suggested me to try the special menu - pistachio cheese cake which is rare. Both are good in taste. Although the view from the window isn’t particularly pleasant, the interior design makes me feel warm and cozy. Last but not least, I like the words printed on the tissue paper - “throw happiness around like confetti” :)

No wonder the ratings are high. That’s the dining experience I look for in a cafe - quality food with creative twists, space for a chat and various kinds of beverages to choose from (friendly to someone who want caffeine and lactose free drinks). Forgot to take a picture of the walnut and apple salad - refreshingly sweet and crunchy. Risotto was good in the sense that every ingredient remained present instead of losing their flavour to the base sauce.

I can see why this place is so popular. The food was really quite outstanding. My favourite dish was the coffee pork! It was so tender and delicious. The duck liver was lovely as well. The tom yum pasta was flavourful, albeit on the spicy side (the shrimp were sweet but unfortunately very overcooked). I fear their coffee is too refined for my palate ㅋㅋ I did enjoy the aftertaste. Service is good~~ Portions are small but the quality is great:) Be prepared to queue but I'd say it's worth it!

We arrived at around 12:30 so we didn’t have to wait, the queue gets quite long after 1 pm. Nice foie gras risotto, although I wished it was more al dente. The pistachio cheesecake was SO GOOD, hence made me leave a 5 star review. Good matcha latte as well.

Perfect breakfast with high quality and value! Smooth piccolo and the extraordinary slow cooked chicken croissant The chicken is juicy with fresh tomato slices and lettuce. The croissant is crispy and layered. The staff is nice and the price is reasonable. Definitely coming back again. It takes around 20mins for the croissant so just slow down and enjoy the weekday breakfast.

Great place. The flat white was perfect. Breakfast items are great, their bagels are bit smaller if you're use to normal size ones, however they're great nevertheless.

**The cafe has a relaxed, inviting vibe** – soft background music, cozy seating, and refreshing air conditioning make it the perfect spot to unwind or work in comfort. **Caramel Crumble Latte** (焦糖脆脆鮮奶咖啡) – Silky espresso and milk swirled with rich caramel, topped with a crunchy, buttery crumble. Sweet, textured, and perfectly balanced—like a dessert in a cup! 好飲,必飲。 **Sake Fresh Calm Spaghetti** 清酒煮蜆肉意粉 Silky pasta in a light sake-infused sauce with fresh herbs—subtle, refined & soothing. A taste of serenity in every bite. 好食,特別。 **Pan fried Squid Bonito Flake Rice **香煎魷魚木魚飯 Tender yet crisp—golden-fried to a delicate crunch while staying miraculously soft inside. The squid’s delicate brine perfectly tunes with the mushrooms’ deep umami and the rice’s subtle sweetness. A dish that sings in three-part harmony. 好味,必試。

Beautiful space, nice service but I was shocked at the size of the serving compared to the price! I ordered the Basque cheesecake for $48 and the piece was laughably small. I understand it’s a rich and sweet dessert, so it makes sense to serve it in small portions but I certainly wouldn’t have ordered it had I known that I would be paying 48 for less than 3 inches of cake
