Ok... Let's start with the positive...

Tater tots are really good even with waiting almost an hour for delivery. There’s still crispy salted right cooked well. Really good tater tots.

that’s kind of where the love ends. I ordered a sausage biscuit which I was craving because I’m from the USA, which is very popular there and I’m from the south so I also ordered the chicken and waffles which I was really excited about.

The sausage is not really like a breakfast sausage and it’s got pink in it so I don’t think it was cooked very well. I’m a little afraid that I took a few bites. It just doesn’t have the spices that it needs to really have that punch and the biscuit is more like a cake then a fluffy biscuit.

The waffle looked really good. It’s got a nice thick Belgian waffle look a little touch of crisp to it cooked very well but again that’s where the positive ends there’s no flavor like you have to put some flavor into the batter. The syrup actually has alcohol in it, which is bizarre and ridiculous like a good syrup should not have alcohol in it when you say whiskey syrup, the whiskey should be cooked out, leaving the whiskey flavor without the alcohol stench... the chicken is actually pretty good. The batter is actually nice but it is a thigh instead of a breast. I don’t know why they do that here I hate thighs and it’s pretty common at least back in America that a chicken and waffle is a breast of boneless breast.

I wish they would let me come in even for a couple hours and maybe in the afternoon I could make their food so much better there’s a lot of potential here. It just needs some love.

I hope this helps. I hope the pictures help in the video pretty disappointed. It looks really good, but doesn’t taste very good

Hate writing negative reviews. Hope they reach out...

Cute spot to work or possibly have a date. My wife and I had brunch here and I had an americano, pancakes and side of sausage. My wife had smoked salmon avocado toast and juice.

Pancakes were large, light and fluffy. Next time I would opt to get it with fruits. I did order a bratwurst but it felt like a regular sausage - in line with typical bkk sausages so don’t expect much. The smoked salmon and avo toast was good: generous portions of smoked salmon on ripe avos.

Location is a bit further up from phrom pong but not a bad walk.

The positives were the location and the service.
The cafe is beautiful. I love their presentation(food)and their kind customer service.
The food was lacking in freshness and taste.
I ordered the Belgium waffle which was over cooked. I did enjoy the whipped cream.
I did very much enjoyed my chai latte

Shout out to “Khun Noah” is very nice, attentive, and pretty friendly. She explained the different of all chocolate menu very well
Also she told me the best seller menu here are Spanish Churros  with Choc Dip that you can choose Icing powder or Cinnamon sugar.

Have a great brunch here! When I go in, I get the warm welcoming from staffs. The foods that I order for brunch are chicken parmigiana, chicken waffle and shrimp scampi. For the dessert, I ordered Thai tea panna cotta.

Everything tastes great! I really love chicken parmigiana the most! The potion is quite okay with the price.

Recommend it!
