🚪 First Impressions
From the moment you walk in, the café exudes a warm and inviting vibe. The lights are softly ambient, and the layout gives a sense of openness while still offering private corners. The walls feature artistic posters and bulletin boards with local event flyers, giving the place a community-driven feel.

🪑 Interior & Facilities
The interior is a blend of minimalist modern and cozy charm. Grey cushioned chairs and small wooden tables dominate the seating area, with plenty of seating options for both solo guests and small groups. The atmosphere is relatively quiet, with most customers reading or chatting quietly. Air-conditioning is well-balanced, and ventilation is excellent—ideal for working or relaxing.
Cleanliness is clearly a priority here. There’s a unisex, wheelchair-accessible restroom at the back. Though not luxurious, it’s functional and clean, with basic amenities well-stocked.

🧋 Drink Quality
On this visit, we ordered a selection of drinks including: • One hot latte • Java Chip Frappuccino with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle • Strawberries & Cream Frappuccino • Mango-based cream blend • Coffee Jelly Frappuccino
All beverages were visually appealing and well-prepared. The Frappuccinos were rich, creamy, and just sweet enough without being overwhelming. The coffee jelly drink was especially fun with its chewy texture at the bottom—perfect for a light dessert-like experience. The hot latte had bold espresso flavor with a smooth, comforting finish.
