Another great coffee hangout for chilling and for your caffeine fix in this area. Tried both hot/iced white coffees and was not bad (personal rating for their coffee I’d give it a 7/10) so will definitely come back again. They do freshly baked cakes as well and you can even get to see them prep/cream their cakes at the counter so it was quite cool! Tried their banoffee cake $9/slice (banana, chocolate and coffee) and the combination was so good. Big banana portions, expresso frosting and chocolate-caramel base was really really delicious. However perhaps the cream can be a bit thicker so it can better hold the cake body together since the banana portions are quite thick/heavy, so it’s barely just doing enough for the cream to hold it. Nevertheless, one of the best bakes around this area! Also caught them doing layering of the honey biscuits layered cake, which seems to be another signature item as it’s like a cake-version crepe with milk frosting, picture wise it looks awesome so this is definitely my next must-try! Note: All their ready-made cakes can be selected from the fridge behind the cashier when you do your ordering. Prices range from $8-$12 per slice.

Lovely place to hang out for coffee in Scott’s Road. Nice coffee and cakes though a bit squeezy in the Sat crowd. Banoffee pie is not too sweet either thick chunks of fresh banana in cream. The graham cracker crust adds to the crunch. Cappuccino was excellent, in strong espresso and well made foam.
