Usually, I don't give 5 star reviews, but this cafe definitely deserved it.
We ordered the longan honey coffee, which was delicious. The coffee flavor was so well balanced and not bitter at all. It had only a hint of sweetness, which I appreciated a lot as some places use a lot of sugar to mask the unpleasantries of a drink.
We also got their lemon tart, chocolate hazelnut tart, earl grey cheesecake, and tiramisu. I loved them all.
My favorite was definitely the lemon tart. The sweet and sour balanced perfectly, it was quite refreshing.
The tiramisu was also lovely, the light mascaropne whip paired with lady fingers was perfect.
The hazelnut tart was so hazelnutty, I could tell they added hazelnut in the crust, which made this very special.
The earl grey basque cheesecake was not as amazing as the other desserts. However, I do think it is better than most cafes around here. Some cafés have the audacity to charge over $58 for a tiny dry cheesecake.

Read moreThis is the third time (or was it fourth?) I am here. It is an oasis for me whenever I visit the mad house that is Sham Shui Po.
I got here early today so that I could snag my favorite seat. Else it could get crowded at times.
There are a few coffee places popping up around the area. Visited a few and this is still my favorite, due to the shop layout and spaciosness.
I am a tea person in a coffee place, so I cant tell you how good their coffee is. But from the crowd and what everyone else ordered, i think their brew packs a punch.
I am here to enjoy the peace and serenity. And perhaps to think twice how much to pay for the electronic gadgets at the nearby Golden Computer Arcade :)
PS : while posting this, the other seats are taken by three other groups. Dont be fooled...
