the parfait is the best I've ever had - the creme brulee'd fruit, high quality ice cream, crunchy biscuit texture throughout, fresh fruit, and a tea jelly on the bottom not to sweet, perfectly balanced edit: we went back again for round 2, great again :d

Amazing food and atmosphere. The best parfait I've ever had and situated on a quiet street just a short walk from the station. The staff were very accommodating and friendly and the QR code ordering makes it easy for foreign travelers.

In this rainy day, we found this hidden gem. I wish I can come here every day. Cheese cake and the coffee, soft music, outside rain was a perfect match.

Highly recommend, staff made it easy to order as an English only speaking person. Food is lovely and well priced. The atmosphere is lovely while not being as crowded as the main tourist area.
