Plenty of tasty-looking pastries and desserts, but didn't see any vegan option. Ended up only getting my usual Soy Flat White. Couldn't really taste the coffee, like almost a bit too much soy-mylk. But nice service and cute antique decorations.

Thanks to boxing day (26 Dec 2024) Got a chance to pop in to the shop Had a really nice hot long black I’m not fussy with temp of my hot drink Good coffee, good people working at the cafe Tried one of white chocolate raspberry cheesecake as well, not too sweet I truly enjoyed it pairing with black coffee soo so good Will try other pastries next time On summer days in front of the shop you might find a little dirty streets in front But once you walk in to the cafe it feels more cosy and clean (From my photos attached, i had to use coffee lid as my plate because i stupidly forgot to ask for napkins and devoured it very messy)

Coffee was really nice, milk was perfectly steamed. I tried a Nutella croissant which was really good, but warmer would be better. The staff behind the bar was so nice, and I honestly liked the aesthetic of the bar, so small and cosy!
