It is a terrible experience. I ordered a vegetarian meal but I ate a piece of meat in fried mushroom. When I asked the staff there, she said she would come to the chef to check. When she came back, she granted it is a mushroom. I have been vegetarian for 20 years and I know what mushroom tastes like. I highly doubted that so I wanted to see it again, but she already threw it😅 OK now I lost the evidence and I will never know the truth. I will never come to this restaurant. Be careful if you insist to eat here. Hope you won't eat something "weird".

A delightful croissant of purple yam,
A zesty lemon pistachio, a delicious jam.
Oh, September Coffee, a treat for the eye,
With pastries so lovely, they make spirits fly!
The yam croissant arrived, a purple delight,
Flaky and sweet, a magnificent sight.
A strawberry matcha, a beautiful brew,
And a latte with art, a joy for me and you.
The mushroom pasta? Well, it was alright,
But the sweet treats were truly a delectable sight!

All the food was great. I especially enjoyed the sesame latte! This was my second visit, and it definitely won’t be the last. I went around 1pm and, as expected, there was a long queue, the place is usually busy, but it’s worth the wait!

a decent and lively cafe situated in the heartlands of chinatown!
upon our arrival, we had to grab a queue number since it was a public holiday, and a queue is inevitable. we waited around 30-40 mins before getting the cue that it was our turn.
as we entered the cafe, it was quite packed as expected, but i was surprised at how it was not super noisy and disrupting. after my friend and i placed our orders, it came pretty quickly. i would estimate around a good 10-15 mins!
we ordered iced black sesame latte, iced espresso latte, crab linguine and smoked salmon sammie. the drinks were well made, i could taste the bold sesame and espresso flavours! however, the crab linguine did not stand out to me that much, not a bad dish, just average.
overall, my experience here was a good one, fast service, cozy environment and smooth order process! i might be back if i'm ever in the area again :)

Came here to try their sesame latte and Iced Vanilla latte. I must say is one of the better ones that I have ever tried before.
Did not wait long for the food even though it was full house inside. The entire place was pretty small with only 12 tables. But it do gives the cosy and relaxing vibes. A good place to chill but there is time limitation to stay.
A friendly note to those new comers intend to patronised this cafe. There is a QR code at the main entrance. You are expected to scan it and wait for your name to be called in.
Overall I have no issue with their foods. Tasty and the steak was done to what I have ordered.
