The store is cute and the stuff is welcoming and friendly. But honestly I didn’t like the macarons. Purchased few different flavors and they all were a bit dry and the taste was just ok. Until I tried the cotton candy one - it was really more of a crouton than a macaron. I could barely bite it. Not exactly a level of a dessert you can expect for this price.
The environment is welcoming, and the place is clean and well-maintained. The food is fresh and reasonably priced. Additionally, the customer service is excellent. Highly recommended!

outstanding coffee and delicious food at this unassuming café; entirely worth the drive.
as said, the espresso is incredible - great menu, great choice of beans, and great extraction of the espresso itself. their iced mocha is a highlight - a smooth, slightly fruity, chocolate-y espresso overtop quality chocolate syrup. my father ordered the vanilla iced latte, which was also delicious.
they had a single chocolate croissant in the baked goods' display, which we ordered. not only is the portion massive, but the entire croissant is stuffed with this airy, smooth chocolate mousse. while some of the crunch and flake of a croissant is lost, I feel that's a small sacrifice for the mousse and chocolate inside.
their sandwiches are lovely - satisfying crunch, served hot off the grill, with melted cheese and flavourful toppings inside. however, one employee makes them in the very back of the shop - completely hidden to those at the entrance or seating area - and they take a little while to make, understandably. be patient if you order one!
the biggest downside is the ambiance. it's housed inside a Filipino market, with no A/C and somewhat intrusive fan noise 24/7. they also only have 4 seats total, which makes sense considering the hidden-ness of the café. personally, I had the noise tuned out once I tried their coffee, but these elements may be a larger sticking point for some.

A true hidden gem! Very yummy breakfast sandwiches at a good price. We wanted to find an affordable place for a quick bite and this place exceeded our expectations. They also have tonnes of different kinds of macaroons and our breakfast sandwiches came on a waffle/croissant. Delicious, highly recommend you check out this place!!

I asked for coffee and the owner said they couldn't make coffee. What's the point of selling coffee if you refuse to make it when a customer orders it. Avoid this business they might refuse you service because they don't feel like working.

Such a cute little place! Had a cappuccino and a Nutella macaroon. Both were very good. It's definitely better than any pre-packaged macaroon you can get.The service was very friendly, feels like home.This place is also a storefront for Phillipino products. I will definitely be back to try some snacks or some different macaroons and coffees

This is a cafe inside a speciality grocery store. There is seating but just little benches. The best bubble tea in the city! Brown sugar and Okinawa milk teas are phenomenal!!

The amount of work and effort it takes to even find a place that makes good macrons is not comparable to the actual abilities one must have to make them. I've searched, and you're not going to find any better place locally that does freshly made macrons to such perfection. Staff is also super friendly and sweet :)
