   Quiet and spacious coffee shop. The coffee is pretty good although their cabinet selection is lacking and a bit pricey. Plenty of car parking

   The environment and coffee were nice. The place suffers from not being able to deliver its own menu. The waffles which came with a very full list of options were not avail. The shelves were empty.

   Been driving past this place a few times and finally decided to come. We ordered the double cheese burger with fries, cajun chicken wrap from their cabinet and also their coffee. The coffee here is quite strong and not bad. The chicken wrap was yummy, lots of chicken pieces and the other fillings goes well together. The burger on the other hand was below average, the presentation was very nice, but the patty was dry and didnt taste well, not sure whether the quality of the meat maybe not fatty enough or the spices they used didnt go well with it. The chips on the other hand was fried very nicely. Service here, the staff was attentive but quite rush in getting our orders. We barely just sat down and they already try to ask us what to order when we didnt get a chance to look at the menu. I feel cleanliness is not a big thing for them as they pack up the plates quite fast, but the whole time there they did not wipe the tables at all. So this is kind of off putting. I think instead of rushing the customer on what to order, they should improve on the cleanliness, because even though the inside looks modern and clean, the hygiene definitely could be improved. Although it was a pleasant time and the food was good except the burger, it doesnt offer enough to make me want to come back on a regular basis. Overall 3.5/5

   Wow! This little Gem of a Cafe is really worth a visit. Loved the food we had there in the weekend. They have a full Cafe menu with staple fare and some lovely Asian dishes too, like handmade dumplings. My husband had the French Toast with bacon, banana and fluffy buttery brioche. Delicious! Perfect place for a brunch. Will definitely be back. :)

   Unfortunately we did not have a great food experience. The staff were lovely but understaffed with the amount of customers there. I ordered the homemade peanut butter granola. When it arrived it was covered in thinly sliced apples & pear with a dollop of coconut yoghurt. What was underneath was unsweetened, dry raw oats with raisins, goji, shredded coconut & almonds. Granola is usually toasted & has spices. I added water on top of the yoghurt to try & eat it. There was no peanut butter or apricots as in the description. I couldn't finish it as it. Hubby had the mushrooms, poached eggs & salad. The mushrooms were really well cooked and seasoned. The eggs were overcooked, and there was no dressing or stated truffle oil. I would not recommend or go back

   Went for the ice cream. I could potentially understand the price, given that I had choice to walk away if it was just too high. I wanted to point out that the ice cream was so bad (it seemed it was pre-thawed then was frozen again?) Top layer of ice cream had this leather-ish texture, and I was able to taste the flakes (presumably the milk proteins) in the ice cream. Quality was so bad, I wouldn't even expect this from the dairy down the road.. Also interestingly, they were serving Kohu ice cream out of Movenpick branded items....
