A lovely little cafe that serves delicious cheesecake along with a range of normal cafe drinks. I got an iced latte and white chocolate and matcha cheesecake as part of the cake set. The matcha flavour didn't really come through unfortunately but it was still delicious and I enjoyed sitting here for a while. The staff are very friendly too :)

The reasonable and tasty meal in this area. I had the cream stew pasta and it was more than my expectations. This is a great and better choice than any other cafes around here!

Amazing retro cafe with a nostalgic vibe and a gramophone. You can come, chill, read a book, have a nice conversation with a friend. The service is also very accommodating. They have a variety of cheesecakes. I tried the orange one and the organic coffee cheesecakes. Both were incredibly tasty. They have a normal food, too. Looks good as well. I will definitely come back to try the other cakes and foods.

Honestly one of, if not the, favorite fried chicken in the area. Curry and Fried chicken + rice is staple for me. Always enjoy the atmosphere/ambience and great for dating. English menu available too.
