Give this place a visit :) It's a lovely place, and the owner (Satya) is very welcoming and friendly. She makes everything from scratch so, freshness is guaranteed. Her souffle pancakes are delicious and fluffy like clouds. I also enjoyed her drink idea of iced latte with ice cream. She loves experimenting, so the drinks and food menu will keep getting updated for the time being, and she is open to suggestions. The cafe is also full of sockets (laptop-friendly), and it stays open until late in the evening. Thank you for the wonderful food and experience :)

I was skeptical because I’ve tried a few places before and the pancakes weren’t fluffy at all. I was surprised when they arrived, they tasted good, and the boba tea was reasonably priced.

The food was amazing and very affordable, the lady who I believe is the owner manages this all by herself and it’s worth it. Takes patience for the wait but well worth it as everything is freshly cooked by one person so definitely not a place for a quick bite but a lovely experience and will be back :)

I visited with my family to this beautiful cafe. Food was amazing and very police owner/staff. Pricing was extremely reasonable and made us feel very welcome :) This is a new startup business and I would certainly come back again with my family.

Everything here is made in-house using fresh ingredients—unlike many high street dessert spots that rely on frozen products. We tried the cheese frosting waffle, and it was packed with flavour. The topping sauces, made from fresh berries and cheese frosting, gave it a truly unique taste. It was beautifully presented with a dusting of sugar and a sprinkle of pistachio crumbs. Impressively, all sauces are made in small batches rather than being pre-frozen. Every item is handmade by the owner, who clearly puts a lot of passion into perfecting each recipe. All items are also fully customisable to suit your taste preferences. The prices are very reasonable for the quality offered. This shop seems to have opened just a few weeks ago and, unfortunately, isn’t very noticeable—possibly due to its location or limited marketing. However, it’s a hidden gem and highly recommended.
