    Skip this place. Maybe there was a change of management bc service is slow and everything is mediocre for the price.

    If you are expecting a good dessert, this is not the place. Over crowded and dessert didn't taste fresh. Overrated tourist place. Very disappointed.

    Perfect spot for breakfast or brunch. Super quiet on the weekdays and a bit loud on the weekends. Cheesecakes and tarts are great!
