    I had a wonderful time at The Story. I came across this place recently and decided to try it out for breakfast. When we reached, it was quite crowded (by a single group) but as they left, we were given good seats near the bakery counter. The food was amazing, worth every penny and wasn't too expensive either. The staff was really friendly and cooperative. They made special adjustments for us and gave us a lemon cake on the house. (it was delicious) They let us stay for quite a bit very comfortably, even after we had paid the bill and were just sitting there chatting. The interior of the place is light and pastel-y, quite easy on the eyes, and their desserts are to die for. We had the All American Breakfast with Mushroom and Cheese omelette. The entire platter was more than enough for the two of us. We also had their apple cinnamon french toast, which was a delight to say the least. The coffees (cafe mocha and caramel frappe) were both amazing. in conclusion, this is one of my favorite finds and I am definitely making it my go-to coffee place.

    Popped in for an early dinner with a friend. The place was empty, with staff ready to serve. It's a well decorated place deigned to sit and have a good time with fnf. We tried their chicken tempura strips for starters, pot pie and sliders for main and tres leches for dessert. Everything was made fresh with quality ingredients, and tasted on the money. However, their pot pie and tres leches were standouts. Highly recommended.

    If you are looking for a place, where there's not much happening, have good dark light and vibe and country music with good food. This is your spot.

    First of all, empty restaurant on a Friday night says it all for any food place. There was only one waitor even who was not on the table to take orders and we had to call him. Then he informed us that since their catering business is high in demand due to which waitors availability in the restaurant is limited. After Sobremessa this was the second biggest disappointment in a month. Food is yet to be served so not commenting on it at the moment.

    One of my most favorite hangout spots. Breakfast and salad serving is great. Taste is on point. Items are fresh and pricing is very reasonable. Love their coffees and lotus shots. Smoking allowed.

    The hot chocolate at The Story was a bit too sweet for my taste. It was okay for a one-time try, but I wouldn't choose it again. 3/5 stars. On the brighter side, their Tres Leches cake is an absolute delight! Always consistent and yummy, it's my go-to dessert whenever I visit The Story. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to try their Tiramisu yet as it's always sold out whenever I stop by. 5/5 stars for the Tres Leches! As for the Lotus shots, they were decent but nothing extraordinary, earning a modest 3/5 stars. However, The Story's Skillet Cookie was a pleasant surprise – rich and satisfying, definitely worth a solid 4/5 stars.

    First thing that caught my eyes was the beautiful interior. Very Cosy and Pretty Atmosphere inside (and good musicc). I noticed they have a small menu which to me is nice since it promises fresh ingredients. We ordered Tex Mex Pizza, Nutella Lotus French toast and the story Tacos. Tex Mex Pizza was tasty but a bit dry so we got more Marinara to dip it in. The Tacos were my favourite, very fulfilling, great taste, superb meat and fresh prawns. Nutella Lotus French Toast had no lotus sauce over it. I had to ask the waiter to take it back n get The sauce dripped on it because that was the reason i ordered it in the first place. Overall Pricing wise its good, Great experience. One issue is about the desserts, I wanted to try their Lotus Cheesecake but apparently you have to order it a day prior, which i had no clue of. You should mention it somewhere in the menu or anywhere else because how will the customers know? No desserts were available on a friday evening which was surprising to me. Besides this, Lovely experience, would definitely suggest and go back myself.

    The cookie, turkey sandwich, Thai salad and red curry were my favorites from what I tried here. Good stuff, but go with someone who knows the menu

    Got a desert basket and it was very good....the taste was exactly how a brownie or tart should taste like. Exactly as per expectation. Had it been more than expected, would have rated 5 then.

    We arrived at night for coffee and dessert and were seated outside on comfortable sofas.. Imtiaz the Manager was serving us and recommended a lite bite - freshly baked pizza (Margarita + chicken Tex Mex) which needed more tomato base to make it more juicy... that was followed by coffee and dessert which were Tiramisu, Lotus Shot and Dark choclate pie which we enjoyed throughly. Good dining experience

    I guess their chef has changed so the quality of food was pathetic. Don't think will go again.

  • 4/5 Quinton D. 8 months ago on Google
    Was there for breakfast, not a huge selection but the few were excellent. Had Italian breakfast and Desi omelette with mince masala and some strong dood Patti chai. Definitely enjoyed it with the beautiful selection of Sunday morning music. Don and this other guy serving us were very friendly and exchanged their views on cakes and tarts while we were enjoying the breakfast.

    Visited The Story for the want of trying the ever so famous Lotus Cheesecake. Ended up with a strawberry tartlet and the lotus cheesecake. Both were yummy. But the aftereffects of the cheescake's sweetness was a bit too much. The tartlet eas purrfect; sweet n tangy n fresh, each of the flavours complimenting the other.

    The ambience was perfect. I think the food quality can improve. Steak was a disappointment... Loved the meetha and shakes. Iced tea was also flat.. not intense as it should be. But I regularly order their platters and the desserts are excellent.

    Saw that they were open for takeaway when we were driving around early this morning to see if anything was open for delivery or takeaway (around quarter to 9). They said they can take our order when we called. Took a while to get it but that's understandable since they start at 9. We took away Mediterranean + Mushroom and Cheese Omelettes, pancakes and a Hazelnut coffee. The pancakes were not a hit with the kids but the rest was good.
