    Cookies & cream is amazing! It comes with Oreos :) their brownie is a must try. And the Mocha chocolate brownie frappe is also pretty good! Most of all, a super meetup place for a good long chat!

    Unique warm ambience and staff,serving generous portions in quirky crockery,the Café Mocha was the most chocolatey I have ever had and the waffles were perfect! Lovely place to chill with a book.

    Lots of privacy, cute decor, lots on the shelves to read, but the hot chocolate let me down. And made me cry. In the restroom. Speaking of the restroom, its very clean. You know, if you want to cry.

    Very attentive and careful service with the food to match. The milkshakes and coffee are amazing as well and the portions are extremely satisfying! Very chill atmosphere and great prices!

    Bit of a let down. Nicely done space. Great ambience . Over priced mediocre tea and food. The waffles were crispy and fresh though. Try the Oreo milkshake. The only thing worth it.

    Try anything with strawberries, prices match the level of food and consumables they offer. A must try
