Customer Reviews

"Recommended by a dear friend, this place is lovely. The coffee was great, service was above average. I had the breakfast burrito and it was satisfying and filling. Loved that it didn’t have the regular umami flavor, it was perfectly salted and delicious. Will visit again."

"They just have inverter for light in the bright day, i felt hot inside the room. But food is nice."

"Staff were nice, duty and respectful. Ambiance was great. Food was delicious. Family oriented; there’s a place for everyone in there. I think a bouncy castle for the kids, karaoke for the choristers, a lounge for the daddies and the restaurant hall for everyone with a bellly. Also located in a serene environment"
