We had a cappuccino that was great and Thai tea that was wonderful. For baked goods, we tried a cinnamon roll and a toffee brownie both were delicious! The brownie was a bit intense for the morning, but still so good. We came here yesterday around 6:00 PM and had a ham and cheese bagel that was also fantastic, and we even got a pretzel for free! We’ll definitely come here again.

Their drinks are great smooth and not too strong, just right for mornings on the island They also have a good selection of bread and pastries, all fresh and tasty, which is nice if you want something quick with your coffee. The vibe is relaxed, nothing too fancy, but comfortable enough to sit for a while. Staff are friendly and it feels like one of those spots people on the island actually come back

Full marks for this ship. I had tried two of their items and both were good to taste buds. They offer some discount on certain items and overall rates are good compared to other shops. Workers are super cooperative and can communicate well. Coffee was really fantastic

Widespread bread (sourdough) collection with delectable drinks. We went back two nights in a row just for their tea latte and dessert! We were also happy to have chanced upon the cafe after 7pm, when most cafes were closed. The lovely lady serving us made the drinks on point and was so gracious. Her friendliness and the homely vibe of the cafe is surely not to be missed!

Wonderful selection of bakes and great coffee. Cozy spot to work from as well. Only downside is no toilet so you have to hold your bladder and head out nearby to find one! Wifi is ok.

I had an iced latte with vanilla syrup and it was perfect not too sweet, strong enough in terms of coffee. But I didn’t like the banana bread, it had a sort of gingerbread taste. I believe it was just not to my taste, I’ll surely come back and try something else.
