"Walked in late on a Friday night looking for a glass of wine with my girlfriend. Was greeted very kindly by both Sammy and Daniel. They gave us a rundown of their organic wine selection and even threw in a complimentary dip, which tasted amazing. They even had a chat to me about their restaurant and just life in general. Really pure humans putting effort into their little cafe. Would recommend this place to anyone. Great vibe, good music, tasty wine, nice food, perfect service! Thank you!"

"We bumped into this cafe to have brunch, surprisingly good. I love all the details about the interior design that makes people feel comfortable, like home. The chef’s greeting makes us feel welcome. Food is good hence it takes quite long time to serve because there’s only one people working there. So if you’re rushing or too starving, consider to find another place; if not, just chill before the food serves. Prices are decent. As the dining area is quite limited, not actually recommended for big groups of people. Overall, everything’s so satisfying. Will give it a second visit to try other menus. Oh ya, the coffee tastes good as well !"

"Had breakfast and really enjoyed the egg toast — with a golden/ crisp edge, a soft & fluffy center, and nicely seasoned. The coffee was great too, pairing perfectly with the calm, cozy atmosphere. Staff were friendly and welcoming, making it a pleasant spot to start the morning. A lovely café worth revisiting for both food and vibes."

"Had breakfast here twice and loved it both times. The toasts are really excellent—you can tell the owner truly puts his heart into making them as he is the only one taking care of this place. He’s a very kind, friendly, and helpful person, which makes the place feel warm and welcoming. Prices are fair and reasonable for the quality you get. A great spot for a breakfast, highly recommended to anyone visiting."
