Armosphere: 4/5 Well air-conditioned, there were also many seating types available, and overall the café was pretty spacious. The unfortunate part is the location of this café, it took a while for me to find, as it's actually at the underground level inside the building, you want to walk from the exterior wall, and directly walk down the stairs to...

The espresso of the latte is medium roasted, with nutty favour and aroma. Their cheese cake is creamy. Iced drink or brewed coffee may not be a great...
