About

Beautiful, calm atmosphere in Karen with real zing in their lemon dawas. The calzones pack actual filling (not just bread), the cappuccino is great, and fresh pastries are yummy. Service can be hit-or-miss, and you have to order at the counter. Great for unwinding.

I have always enjoyed this place and appreciated its great ambience. Today, however, I was rather disappointed. When I ordered my usual, I was informed that butter and jam are now charged separately...

I’ve only had a cappuccino and a sparkling water, but they both met requirements. Good service, pleasant environment. Only drawback is that you have to come to Waterfront Mall to enjoy it.

Update: Fresh yummy pastries. Love it The cappuccino was great, ordered the sandwich with ciabatta bread and it was too crunchy it hurt my gums. Overall I had a great experience. Friendly staff and ha...
