Great vibes and even better food! Loved the burger — juicy, cheesy, and full of flavor — and the fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. The drinks were refreshing, and the whole meal hit the spot. The staff were super friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving something delicious with good service!

As Confucius once said; do not be foolish to order coffee in a tea house. The opposite also, applies. Do not order matcha in a coffee roastery and expect to be satisfied. That was my only mistake. The matcha latte was very bland and clumpy. My peers were sensible and ordered coffee and enjoyed it. I had a sip of the cold brew and found it delicious. This cafe interestingly discloses the cost of their coffee beans. Anyone who puts that effort into ethical sourcing and transparency, deserves their flowers. I’d happily spend my weekly coffee fund on a drink here. Their unique menu is what enticed us, with a mix of food suitable for breakfast and lunch. The brekkie burrito was delicious and filling, with the perfect level of spice from the hot sauce. The grilled prawn hoagie wasn’t too heavy and refreshing from the daikon pickle. I also had a nibble of my friend’s coconut rice pudding and it was a textural delight. I’ll be ordering that the next time I return and I’m not even usually a sweet breakfast person. Overall, a solid cafe to return to. It’s a neighbourhood cafe nestled amongst terrace houses. The interior is industrial yet feels warm and the service matched.

I really like the coffee here. The food might seem like your usual breakfast menu at first, but they’ve added creative twists—like corn pancakes, crispy pork belly with pineapple jalapeño sauce, and scrambled eggs with sautéed onions. Everything is really interesting. The atmosphere is great too, with a stylish mood and tone. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their coffee.
