    It was a nice experience. Very friendly and caring staff although it gets really busy during weekend. Some of the food can be decorated better to match the beautiful decoration. But the coffee is AMAZING

    I booked a table for 4 people and I got one of the worst tables, and walk-ins got better tables. Also none of the wait staff payed attention to us, even to get water refill.

    Great team, quality of food was great but it took forever to get coffee and then a longer wail for food. So a good experience but for the price the service could be better

    We book for and arrived 7.45am to beat crowds. There were plenty of empty tables and we were seated next to another couple. How absurd. So no private conversation can be held. Can’t understand why diners were not spaced out. Ask for your coffee extra hot otherwise it will arrive lukewarm. Food was great. Coffee was good though except for temperature.
