    Nice place to chill and good food, but the place is kinda small and tight, a lil restricted but other then that it's all good :)

    Churros was disappointing. Size was pretty tiny from what was displayed in the picture😅tasted better ones. Coffee was ok. To make up for it, the ambience of the cafe is good👍🏻

    *All coffee with double ristretto. Definitely one of the best, if not the best coffee in Georgetown

    Chai latte is very tasty also the portion is too small. Especially for 10 RM.

    It is advisable to find parking at the main road and walk to the cafe. Some of you should know why.

    Don't order anything with Nutella here! Staff admitted their Nutella sauce is their own blend, done in order to cut costs. Tastes just like chocolate sauce. Super cheating. Coffee is a bit sour but OK

    Displeased with them (staffs) continuosly speaking other language to each other that I don't understand right after I complained about my coffee. Before that they all english-mode 😤

    Tried churros. It was delicious. 6 sticks only RM7. Price was relatively expensive for drinks and the drinks was so so only. Cronuts were not available at that time, too sad.
