I can’t say much about their food and drink since I’ve only tried their egg waffle and double choco frappe which are ordinary, but the atmosphere of the place is conducive for learning especially on slow days. I will definitely come back and try other food on the menu.

I love the ambiance. It is cozy and conducive for coffee breaks. They did an extra effort in making customers happy by adding top level latte art. Who could draw a cat on top of your coffee? Lovely isn’t it! Food tastes good by the way. Come and support the new breed pf local coffee brewers. You would definitely give them thumbs up. The place is very accessible, convenient for commuters and they do

I picked up on this location from their Toril branch. At first, the covert frontage. Plus it’s beside a tire shop. (Who would’ve guessed, right?) Another, parking is limited. The Biscoff Milk tea, Chicken Wrap and Spanish sardines pasta was not bad at all for one hushed brunch. No issue with counter staff. Service was fast. Clean and cozy place. Diversity with menu list. Without the need to ask for one (‘coz I usually don’t) but this joins a few of the cafés that easily hands out wifi vouchers after payment. Well, no doubt I’m stepping inside again pretty soon…..

Cute place! I ordered Beef Bibimbap and it’s flavorful. Would rate it 5/5. The drink was Oreo Cheesecake. Yum but too sweet for my liking 4/5. Staff are accommodating, and they provide one hour free wifi. The restroom is clean and has everything you need. When I came here, there was no wait. (Saturday, 1PM)

I’ve been seeing lots of croiffles on socmed lately so I ordered one here, the nutella almond one. Unfortunately it did not meet my expectation. I was expecting the texture to be crispy but soft. However it was so chewy that it’s hard to eat. I loved the biscoff latte though.

Love the place. Looks very minimalist, clean, and there's a lot of natural light coming in cause of the big windows. Tables have just the right distance between them. Service is great. Staff is polite, attentive and kind. Food is delicious. We tried the nachos and I like it cause the taste is not generic/common. Love the vanilla red bean. Can customize sweetness which is a plus. For me, considering the serving sizes, pricing is fair/just right.
