Roy LeeJune 15, 2014The menu is rather limited but the service and atmosphere is superb. The waiter noticed that my friend did not finish his drink and offered to concoct a sweeter version. Attentive and hospitable.
Grace AlexandraMarch 30, 2017Spaghetti Bolognese. Grilled Miso Chicken. Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich. Japanese Style Spaghetti.
RinnapatOctober 18, 2014Cozy place for that much-needed after-work drinks. A mix of finger food and main dishes. Price is reasonable.
Elliot WinklerMarch 11, 2016This is a nice place if you want to chill - they have wifi and you can order a drink or food if you want. But, the music choice was kind of repetitive and it seemed a little too fancy for my taste.
Dennis ChiutenJanuary 24, 2016Nice, chill place for afternoon tea or a study session. The portobello fries are tasty.
Catherine TanJuly 11, 2014I would recommend this place for a relaxing escape and chill out with books, laptop or a friend. 👍
Charlie PhuaSeptember 22, 2012Great service and cozy ambience. Nice selection of books and good menu. Do drop by if u're in the area!
Victor LeeOctober 14, 2016Quirky indeed, cups, furniture and books ... Music wise, i just heard 5000 àdiff versions of 'Cry me a river'.
- Lenny SirivongSeptember 22, 2013Comfy seating. Not crowded on a Sunday afternoon. Espresso was not great, but some Trappist beers available and a nice looking menu, but not much of a kitchen in back so I doubt much is cooked fresh.
Alexander LobovJuly 28, 2014Coffee is Illy so nothing to write home about but very comfy place to chill, good music & friendly service.
Terence ChuaJuly 28, 2011So many collectible books... So little money to get them all... Great place to hang and talk. Read more
Dafydd GreenMay 6, 2015Very nice place but don't bother coming to work here- even free sockets can't be used for charging, bad!!
Apr KNovember 14, 2012So disappointed only 11.30pm is closed. Bought a overseas friend over but... ;(
