Food was excellent as always. Friendly staff and prompt service. Our waitress was a little impatient taking our order, so there is room for improvement there.

I had the pleasure of visiting your coffee shop recently, and I must say that the overall experience was truly exceptional. From the moment we stepped in, it was evident that a great deal of care and attention had been given to every aspect of our visit. First and foremost, the food presentation was absolutely outstanding. Each dish was meticulously arranged on the plate, creating a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. And speaking of taste, the flavors were simply exquisite. Every bite was a delightful explosion of culinary mastery, leaving us craving for more. Now, let's talk about the coffee. It was nothing short of perfection. The baristas truly understood the art of crafting the perfect cup of joe. Our orders were executed flawlessly, resulting in a rich and aromatic beverage that surpassed our expectations. It was evident that great care had been taken in sourcing and brewing the beans, as the taste was unparalleled. Beyond the culinary delights, the service we received was truly amazing. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that our visit was nothing short of extraordinary. Their attentiveness and warm demeanor made us feel welcome and appreciated. They were knowledgeable about the menu and were more than happy to provide recommendations, further enhancing our overall experience. In conclusion, I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the coffee shop for creating such a memorable visit. The outstanding food presentation, impeccable taste, and freshness, along with the spot-on coffee and exceptional service, have left an indelible impression on us. Well done to the entire team for their dedication and commitment to providing a truly delightful experience.

I don’t know if it just me sitting at the table alone that they didn’t put too much attention to this customer but I didn’t get anyone to help me even when I put my hands up to get help to order food but noone came until my friend came and help me get someone to help us with the food and drinks. The food came out quite quick but it wasn’t hot so is a noo for me, I was expecting the food to be hot and fresh , a good place to meet friends with a nice environment, and a good customer service but I just got none of this good services that I heard from. I’m just disappointed with this experience and for just first visit to this place. Don’t ignored someone that is eating alone, served them with good care…

We booked a table for 6, and they shared us at 2 tables by guiding 2 friends at a table in the function room and 2 others in the front room. Not upsetting, just funny how we were waiting for eachother in different rooms...
