What do recent reviews say?

Strong coffee and fresh breakfasts draw regular visitors, with matcha and ice Americano receiving particular praise. The space itself feels welcoming, but staff behaviour is unpredictable-some reviewers find them warm and helpful, others encounter coldness or outright rudeness at the counter.

Recent visits highlight tension over pricing (espresso now 11 RM, drinks perceived as small for cost), wait times during busy periods, and enforcement of ordering rules for outdoor seating. Quality remains uneven, with dry baked goods noted alongside excellent scrambled egg dishes and juice.
