Ordered aglio olio shiitake, spicy carbonara, and nasi lemak with chicken. Food overall better than average, reasonable portion and price given location. Slow service likely due to short of staff but very friendly. Cash only, quite inconvenient. Will rmber to bring cash next time when I go back :)

Their food is great! The owner is a very talented Baker! I'll be posting pictures after my next visit. So if you want great coffee, sandwiches, or baked goods I highly recommend coming here!

Hidden gem. Lovely service. Good variety of food. Sit inside or out. Check out their cakes. They also create personalised cakes with the most exquisite icing.

Had to write a review as this place is everything an independent coffee shop should be and more! Food, excellent. Decor, detailed, fun and cosy. Most of all, it is the staff who make it - all genuine smiles for the customers and a great sense of team work. Every coffee chain could learn from them! Last of all - the mango cheesecake is worth every calorie - off the scale delicious :)

Very cosy place situated in Sri Hartamas. The place is delightfully decorated indoors and has an unique wood feel in the exterior. It is a great place to hang out with friends. The food I ordered is not only healthy, but very delicious. Oh, and did I mention they have very good coffee too?
