"The nutella knot was absolutely delicious! flaky, buttery, and perfectly balanced with the chocolate filling. the pistachio latte was good too, but the pistachio cream on top could be a bit stronger in flavor. Maybe adding a little more pistachio syrup would make it even better, maybe? Overall, a great spot and I’ll be back!"

"Located on the second floor, this cozy little cafe is a great find. While the food is decent and a bit on the pricier side, the fast service and welcoming atmosphere make up for it. It’s an ideal spot whether you’re looking to catch up with friends, hold a group discussion, or just settle in for some focused solo work."

"a very cozy cafe in surabaya. felt really nice to be inside, with a really good interior and calming atmosphere. i've been to the branch in the west, so i was excited to try this one. i ordered the honey cheese bread and the mochi strawberry croissant (i'm sure this is what it's called). the honey cheese bread was super nice! got sweet and savoury locked into one meal. the mochi croissant, on the other hand.. did not seem very fresh. seems like it's been on display all day. plus, i couldn't even taste the "mochi texture" that they were aiming for, though i saw what they wanted to mean as the mochi. regardless, i enjoyed my visit. service was quick and nice, nice vibes that make you want to stay all day."
