Comments:

Beautiful isn’t descriptive enough for the aesthetic of this humble, sophisticated coffee shop-design studio. Add to that the delicious drinks and cute feline friend, what more could you ask for?
As soon as we walked by, the locals shouted out “it’s delicious here!”. One of the aunties told us we were in for a treat because the owner was in.
It did not disappoint. You must order the Caramel Sea Salt Latte here. And watching the owner barista whip this up was performance art. Osmanthus oolong tea was a wonderful light, refreshing drink.
Can’t go wrong with any of the numerous Single Origin coffees as well. I wish I had space in our luggage to bring some beans home…
A must-visit local coffee shop. I can’t wait to return.
