Dari segi minuman, saya suka dengan racikannya, makanannya juga gak kalah menarik untuk di nikmati. Tempatnya juga keren, di lantai 2 ada billiard juga. Cuman saran agar kualitas pelayanan ke customer agar di tingkatkan, keramahan saat pelayanannya sih. But overall ni coffee shop cocok buat nyantai atau meeting
