Fantastic little cafe with delicious cabinet and menu options! Tried the matcha strawberry latte, early grey basque cheesecake, and the HK French toast. All were delicious and drool worthy. They look AND taste amazing (which can be hard to find). Really want to go again to try more of their menu! The staff and owners are very warm, welcoming, friendly and cheerful. There were so many locals that swung by for their usual orders and the team were tuned in. Knew the regular orders, continued conversations from when they last saw them, so just some really genuine people. Also dog friendly, which is my personal favourite point!

This cafe is so good, that I’m writing a Google review for the first time in my life. I traveled 10.000 km to visit my sister, that lives around the corner and she told me that she was going to show me what real matcha tastes like. Risky! because I never really liked it, but boy was I wrong. Their strawberry matcha latte is AMAZING!! So good that now every time I visit, this and a bacon egg english muffin are my breakfast after a 12 hour flight. Please do yourself a favour and try it! Also the staff/owners are super nice and the cafe is a chill place to work but fun and cozy enough to bring a friend to catch up.

Despite the late morning rush, they were able to still deliver quality food and service. The food was amazing as well as the coffee. I highly recommend to visit and say hi to the friendly team!
