Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Recently visited this café for a couple of drinks and absolutely loved the vibe. The ambiance is top-notch, and I was genuinely amazed by the thoughtful detailing inside—everything is so well curated to give it a unique and authentic feel. They even had a live tattoo artist the day we visited, which was such an unexpected and exciting touch! It definitely added a whole different experience to the evening and made the place stand out from the usual café scene. We tried the Strawberry Matcha, Mocha, and Boba, and each drink had its own delicious charm. The staff was extremely friendly and helped us pick the perfect drinks, which made the visit even better. Overall, a must, must visit café for anyone looking for great drinks, aesthetic vibes, and something a little different. Can’t wait to go back! ☕💚✨

I loved coming here! The food was delicious. The people at the reception are always so friendly! The music they play is my favorite part. This will become your favorite place!

I genuinely feel bad posting this because the owner has always been nice to us, but my last visit a few months back, was really upsetting. I started eating my ramen with my kid and noticed what I thought were condiments were actually a few dead fruit flies in the soup. I called the owner over, and she said they probably just fell in while I was sitting, but it wasn’t just one dead fly, there were multiple. There was no apology, no offer to fix it, no refund and no reassurance that the ingredients would be checked. I felt sick to my stomach knowing I ate the ramen with fruit flies in it. I’m guessing the flies got trapped in one of the ingredients and they didn’t notice when pouring those contaminated ingredients into the soup. I get that accidents happen, but how they’re handled matters. I won’t be returning, and I’d just suggest checking your food carefully before eating. Update since the owner responded: I want to clarify that my review was not posted with malicious intent whatsoever. I am just sharing my experience because it actually happened and I think it is fair for customers to be aware. Now, when this happened, I physically showed you the fruit flies in the ramen and you saw them yourself and said they must’ve fallen in while I was sitting down eating. My concern was not just that it happened because like I said accidents can occur, but that there was no apology, no reassurance that the ingredients would be checked and your response now still shows no accountability for the situation. I waited months before posting because I did not initially want to leave a negative review, especially since you have been nice to us in the past. But after seeing similar concerns mentioned in other reviews, I felt it was important to share my personal experience.
