“ If you're somewhat coffee connoisseur you might want to skip this place, not really authentic coffee. I order 'coffee w/ milk' that taste like instant coffee yet they charge me way too high. I guess they open up for people to hang and meet up, I'd say it's a decent place to hang not the coffee. ”
“ The coffee selection is great, but not the best. A little bit pricy for foods, but not as high as another competitors. Have outdoor seatings placed in both first and second floor. The seatings in the outdoor area is a little bit awkward (caused by the chair). Good place to go to just hang out with friends, a little chit-chatting. ”
“ Friendly waitress, comfortable place, not noisy, delicious food. Been to a better place, but this place is still good if you want to have a me time, hangout with friends, or bring your family to have some meals. ”
“ Too hot in indoor area. Food and service are good enough. ”
“ A little bit above the moderate price, not for the real big meal, but nice. ”
