It was a busy Sunday, and I'm thankful I didn't have to wait too long for my food. There was only one waiter/barista working and I have to compliment him on his patience and efficiency. He really did a great job serving everyone and made sure everyone got their food correctly. I hope the owner of this cafe will consider hiring more staff.

Been here a few times. I like the ambience. Soto is very nice. Plenty of meat. Chocolate cake is so so. Didn't really taste the chocolate. But overall it's a nice place to hang out.

The Cafe is true to its name. A lot of posters with dry humour revolving around forgetful women. The waiter forgotten my order and gave me a different dish. But they were quick to fix. Croissants are comparable to a 5 star hotel standard, more bread-like rather than flakey laminates. Rest assured, toilet is clinically clean.
