My experience was fantastic. The staff were helpful and friendly. They had clear instructions and restrictions in place to be able to keep their business open during this time. The one hour time limit felt a little rushed but this was no fault of the business. Overall, a great time was had. Thank you!

Great cafe. Just that our sandwiches were served in bowls rather than a flat plate so were a bit tricky to eat. Fruit smoothie was absolutely yummy though.

We had our late breakfast last Tuesday at around 11AM. Basically, the cafe was not busy with a lot of waitresses available. The foods were ok, it’s almost the same with other cafes we’ve been to. However, the service was poor. The waitresses was never attentive to us. I waived for about 6 times to request for a glass of water which was never served while we were having our foods. They’re all busy talking to each other. This is a constructive feedback as I like them to improve their service when the customers are around. Perhaps they can chat amongst themselves when everyone’s been attended already. Thanks

Food was good and plentiful with a reasonable variety. Social distancing was observed but haphazard in the cleaning etc. Salt and pepper shakers instead of sachets, sign in not enforced. No table ordering, order and pay at counter. Didn't appear to have the staff to sanitise, seat people or clean up.
