It was very pleasant experience in our first day in BRUNEI. Food was great! Coffee/Latte art was amazing and the taste gives justice to how it looks! I also love the quality of coffee bean that they used because it’s not acidic (if you know what i mean hahaha). Thank you as well for letting me charge my phone Lols!! Staff were very friendly !Hopefully we can comeback!!

Here on a Saturday night and it was quite full. Their lavender matcha was a bit too sweet, but their banana matcha was surprisingly good? The cempedak cake was super interesting and unique. Staff are nice and helpful. :)

Definitely one of a great place to grab coffee and cakes. It makes sense why people always go for their cakes, its really good. A humbling story of from just a small space at their home, to now a cafe in a high traffic area, 5x the size of their OG place. Owner is a great example of how simply giving just 5minutes to have a chat with your customers makes a big impact to your business, combine that with good coffee and desserts, this is the result. Hope some will take inspiration from this or just simply drop by and enjoy what they have to offer.

i tried matcha cloud and love it! we also tried the cempedak (jackfruit) cake and it's definitely rich in taste. you should give it a try if you like jackfruit. cozy and quiet atmosphere, i'd come here to do work or just chill with my friends/family!

I absolutely enjoyed my coffee here in a hidden spot near Batu Bersurat. Friendly staff and good ambience. Got the Iced oat latte and Iced oat mocha. The coffee tray was made out of a recycled carton of milk I found to be very creative and sustainable! Kudos to the team, and I will definitely revisit this place sometime soon. I'm keen to try out the cakes, it looked pretty good too :) Keep up the good work! Round 2: The banoffee pie was really yums!! I've been here multiple times and it was consistently good. Well done
