👍👍 Suchee cafe is a very cute place with a very calm environment. If you are feeling adventurous to try different menus come here. Got their sweet potatoes balls and rice noodles soup.

👍 A small cafe with a clean, cool, and pleasant atmosphere. The coffee taste is okay. (It’s a shame that there is no iced Americano menu, so you have to order the iced latte without milk)
