This is not any cafe. It's a home. Great ambience, super yummy food, the menu is amazing. And the drinks are so refreshing. The staff are attentive and kind.

Prices here are on the steeper end, but food tastes quite good for a working cafe and portions were great. They have plugs in the cafe for you to use. There’s a lot a few book shelves for you to pick a book while relaxing at the cafe. Stayed here for about 3 hours and managed to get work done. Staff were friendly and kind to help us top up water whenever. Will come again.

Great option to catch up on work - they have plugs at some tables and not too crowded, even during lunch time. If you go early, they have a breakfast promo before 11am on weekdays, where you can top up $3 for coffee when getting a breakfast item.

The skinny flat white was well balanced, but the pancakes with bacon and eggs fell flat. While the scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked, the pancakes were too dry. Portion size was great though, it was just right for one person, and priced decently too at $19.90 before gst.

Went there on a Saturday. It's a really good place for doing individual work, there are power plugs available too. The ambience and music is really good and there is a corner to read books.

The coffee is fragrant. The hochija and matcha latte is decent

Awesome coffee, great food, what a lovely start to the day. Took us a little while to find it as we were coming from china town, but the staff were great. It was in May last year, sorry it took so long for me to review.
