I loved the dish shrimp and bread. It was really good. Cafe was busy on Sunday lunch, so had to wait a bit for foods to come out, but was all good as the staff notified me when we ordered. I also liked the warm atmosphere of the cafe!

Nice cafe with really good food. I’m talking about the creamy udon and scampi pasta. The coffee is pretty good and vibe is quite nice. The only issue is with the parking which is quite unfortunate they have to share with other businesses. Overall quite nice

a go to brunch place loved by my son and his young teens. Took him over again today. Great place to meet up friends. The food was good, delicious, good coffee as always. Now, a bit under staffed, therefore expect decent delays on food and drinks. Ordered Egg Benny with Beef, Neef Burger, and Pasta for the first time today. Pasta was good, spicy for kids. However I was expecting beef chuncks with my egg benny and my son's beef burger. The beef was marinated beef slices for hotpot, a huge let down, esp for a burger - beef slices are not a burger, burger is a beef patty, period. And the beef slices were stir fried, therefore dry and salty. So avoid beef if possible.

Great little modern spot on the North Shore. Seems like a Korean Fusion café. The food and drinks were really good, well present and served in a timely manner. Strawberry Matcha Latte was really yummy with the strawberry cold foam on top. Great spot to come to, for a quiet catch-up up or if you're studying. Would definitely come again.

This café is an absolute gem! The minimalist Korean-inspired decor is so aesthetically pleasing—every corner is photogenic, making it a perfect spot for snapping beautiful pictures. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, ideal for relaxing with a cup of coffee or catching up with friends. And the food? Delicious! Whether it’s their pastries, Korean-style drinks, or light bites, everything is well-prepared and satisfying. Highly recommend if you love stylish, comfortable spaces with great flavors. Will definitely be back!

The creamy truffle udon was the best! Perfectly cooked udon, sauce was perfectly seasoned. The beetroot juice was yum as well. Slight taste of ginger and not too strong scent of celery, very easy to drink and healthy as well :)
