Lots of menu options and interesting choices – from Western dishes to fried snacks, nasi & certain masakan panas and coffee. A great spot to lepak and so spacious

Salam and hi, As a barista working in F&B, I hope the female cashier can provide proper guidance with a friendly attitude, suggesting options when needed. Regarding the coffee, I hope there can be an improvement, when a customer orders a hot drink, it should be served hot not just warm unless they specifically request it. The other staff members are well trained not the best, but we received good treatment. However, our food was delayed for an hour, and we eventually had to cancel the order. Despite this, we will visit again soon to give it another try. Thanks!

The chicken chop was surprisingly good, the chicken was very tender and juicy just suit to my liking. The price was okay. The service is a little bit slow and unorganised (they still messed up with the orders)- should improve on the system i guess? The staffs need more training- how to communicate with customers and be more efficient. Well it is understandable that this place still newly open. You guys gotta learn fast or it will affect the business. It will be such a loss because the place was very beautiful and cozy.

Nice place. Great ambience. Food was tasty and reasonably priced and came in a good portion. Service was decent but food took some time to arrive. The cupcakes and pastries available are delicious tho and I would definitely recommend getting some to fill your stomach while you wait. - Grilled chicken was really nice and worth the price. - Carbonara was actually quite nice and decent portion and reasonable price. I'd definitely go again to try some of the other dishes even though I know I'll have to wait some time.
