We were drawn to this café by the beautiful photos on Google Maps, especially the cozy-looking upstairs seating area. Unfortunately, the actual experience didn’t live up to expectations.
There was no clear information online about meal times or kitchen hours. When we arrived, the kitchen was already closed, so many of the food items we were interested in were unavailable. We had to settle for limited alternatives.
One of the drinks they recommended — a milkfish-based beverage — was extremely sour and honestly undrinkable for me. Neither the name nor the staff gave any indication of how intense the flavor would be. The matcha cake, on the other hand, was decent and probably the only highlight.
The café looked spacious and calm in the photos, but in reality, the interior was small and very noisy — far from the relaxing vibe we expected. The service also felt more like a fast-food setup: you pick up everything yourself, and staff involvement is minimal. Still, the POS machine at checkout prompted us to leave a tip, which felt inappropriate given the lack of service.
Overall, it was a disappointing experience. It might work for some people, but we personally wouldn’t return.
