Has become my recent go-to place for work. A very pleasant and quiet atmosphere to even attend calls and focus on work with no disturbance what so ever. Do check out :)
Perfect and Beautiful place to relax!! If you are a workaholic, can keep Lap too and pretend like working!! Food is good and little bit pricey!! Worth a try!!
Great place to chill after a long work day
My go to place to work, eat and chill. Cute little spot!
Such a quiet and calm place to hangout or work… very inviting menu and food tasted fab … friendly staff !!
The space is very cozy and very well planned and executed. Can easily sit here and work for hours.
However; I had high hopes on the food, drinks and service which were completely let down.
The food was mediocre. It lacked flavour. I’m sure they’ll work on it though.
The drinks were just bad. Coffee (or the barista maybe) needs to be completely worked around. The cold chocolate was very watery. The can sealed containers seem to be just a gimmick. When opened, the opener broke and the can was still sealed. Had to use the broken seal to open through.
The service people seemed clueless. Not aware of the menu. No cutleries provided. Again something that would be worked on over time.
But for now, it is what it is.
And I hope they prove me wrong soon. :)
Amazing food! Very convenient to work. Would highly recommend! 😊
Burrata cheese open toast is a must try, and the passion fruit cold brew. Great atmosphere to sit and work in.
