    I went for a lunch on last Sunday. Nice food , cozy place and relaxing atmosphere. The people who run the place are really nice and friendly. The buffet offers a large selection of different food, and it is refilled several times, so worry not you'll surely have enough for your money!! 5 out of 5, I 'll definitely go back soon!!

    It was unexpectedly very bad experience with this place today. Although the café shall be opened since 8 am, it was still not open as we came at 10 am expecting for a breakfast. The young lady, who said to be working there, stayed with us near the entrance, waiting for the owner to come and open the shop. In about 10 minutes another young lady with a guy came by car, quite slowly unloaded themselves, talking with each other. We thought it is the owner or manager or whoever shall be coming to finally start the work, but the guy moved away. The second lady told us its the owner's brother and the latter is "sick" so he goes now to pick up the keys from the shop. As customers, who waited to give a chance to the café earning money/good review we were completely discouraged by such attitude. Personnel neither saying a word like "sorry", "thanks for waiting", nor giving any options when they will let anyone in. Seems the owner is not interested in customers. Just a shame for for running business like that.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this one crossed the line for me. The owner doesn't care about the guests or his cafe at all! I have been waiting together with the staff for the opening past 10 am(!) which is a bit late for the cafe which opens at 8... And then a guy appears, doesn't apologize, doesn't speak to us at all... And leaves! Cause he forgot the bloody keys! The rest of the staff was neither surprised, nor disappointed. That gives me a feeling that "I don't give about you" is a part of the regular business here. Very frustrating

    Cozy place for having a nice brunch in the weekend. The food was great!

    We came 40 minutes before closing time for a quick bite, but they did not want to make anything anymore unfortunately. We just took a coffee instead and I have to say, it was a good coffee! Inside looks cosy and nice, and they have a quite big offer of cakes as well.

    Lovely spot for a coffee and a bite. Good coffee!

    The brunch was meager. Contrary to what is stated on their site, their aren’t always pastries available. The few pancakes that were available were burnt black. To make things even worse, the kitchen started wrapoing and cleaning up over an hour befoee the stated end time of the brunch buffet. This meant that we were basically presented with leftovers (bread, pasta salad and scraps of cheese crusts) a little after we started the brunch.

    Everything changed completely after the new owners. Inside is super dirty, garbage is exploding.. Staff is giggling between each other instead of looking at people, cleaning tables etc. I used to come here regularly, I dont think I will ever step into their place anymore. Certainly not recommended anymore neither for a small coffee nor for brunch.

    The food was good. We were here for the bruch buffet. I think the servers/cooks were doing their absolute best to keep the buffet table full & divers, but making a small portion for a full house is very difficult. The place is nice and the servers are friendly. A bit old, all though modernised, so dont be discouraged to enter just by how it looks, but for the service and food.

    Cozy space to have an intimate chat or do some work. Tried the chai latte. Love it. They have basic brunch/lunch/soup buffet at reasonable price. Will try that next time.

    Great food with some healthy and creative touches. We were there for the brunch buffet. Service wise was a bit slow, but servers remains friendly.

    This is a nice restaurant, with an esplanade that you might enjoy and a good cuisine. There are no English menu. The personal are kind and professional. Of course, you can enjoy several different beers (be aware that some have big alcohol content) I tasted the clamps and they are quite good. The portion is more than enough. :-) Prices are OK, according to the place.
