★★★★★

"Really cute cafe. We had the chocolate, strawberry, and banana cake along with two drinks: the passionfruit ade and the grape ade. We both really liked our drinks — not overly syrupy at all. The fruit crepe cake was also amazing."

★★★★★

"A very stylish cafe. We ordered the banana chocolate cake, mango cake, and grapefruit sparkling drink. The cakes were delicious, never cloying or heavy, and the grapefruit sparkling drink was excellent."
