Reviews

Happen to pass by and needed a drink. Nice place with outdoor seating. AMAZING service from the guy that served us. Speaks well in English and when he know that we’re from Singapore he said Xie Xie to us in mandarin. He recommended Lemon Pie and it was good! Served with whipped cream, the lemon pie and cream tasted so…
