We came nearing closing so it made sense that most are sold out already. We got to try their biscoff ice cream, very nice. It doesn't melt easily and i feel like 1 ice cream can share 2 people. Overall will come again later to try other flavours

I randomly stumbled upon this café while walking around the area, and it turned out to be such a hidden gem! I ordered the strawberry chocolate bubble waffle together with an iced chocolate and an iced latte, every single thing was absolutely delicious and satisfying. The café itself is very Instagrammable, with beautiful details and corners that are perfect for photos, so it really adds to the whole vibe. Price-wise, it’s very reasonable as well; I spent around 20–40 in total, which feels just right for the quality, taste, and overall atmosphere. Honestly, I didn’t expect much at first since it was a random stop, but this place definitely exceeded my expectations. Truly worth a visit if you’re nearby!

Food and location is okay. You can the ice cream in the picture (I forgot the name). To control your sugar, I suggest order and share between 2-3 people.

Absolutely blown away by the quality of the Valrhona ice cream here for such an unassuming place. I tried the waffle with mixed berries and an extra drizzle of Nutella—every element was executed to perfection. The richness of the vanilla and chocolate, the balance of tart berries, and that warm, crisp waffle created a next-level dessert experience. I honestly hope they consider adding this combination to the regular menu. You can taste the premium ingredients—especially the Valrhona chocolate—and it makes all the difference with the reasonable prices. Not sure everyone will notice, but for those who do, it’s unforgettable.

Tried the bubble waffle with pistachios, strawberries, and their sea salt & caramel soft serve—absolutely loved it! The waffle was warm and crispy, toppings were fresh, and the ice cream was super creamy with the perfect sweet-salty balance. Such a fun treat and totally worth a visit if you’re nearby!
