Easy and convenient breakfast spot for me as I lived across the street. Baked goods are very good looking and my niece loved the chocolate filling croissant. I had a Cappuccino Ginseng which tasted like a latte with a pump of ginger syrup, was quite sweet.

Overall, nice spot and easy to grab something if you’re into commercial type spots. I appreciate dogs are allowed inside, which I’m discovering is the case for many establishments.

A features espresso blend with strawberry was very unique. Definitely had the aroma but it was an acidic espresso. Barista was nice to help me add a spoonful of milk foam (off the menu) as I prefer machiatto.

Espresso machiatto isn’t as heavy as expected, was a bit light however good for its value ($18MOP). Portuguese egg tart also tasted and had texture of soft custard. I haven’t had the meals there yet but I sense this will be one of my frequent go-to spots to pick up a quick espresso or a lunch-to-go when I’m can’t have another Asian meal. Seems like a quick grab’n’go spot. I’m happy it’s a spot between my home and work.

It’s definitely authentic and I love that it feels like the primary focus is on the quality of the food rather than customer service, but their service is also lovely. Even a dinner for two would get a good variety of dishes. I loved the green vegetable soup which had chorizo in it, seemed potato based. Octopus salad was full of fresh garden veg and packed with a heavy ratio of octopus. Will def bring my out of town friends here.

Lovely place to people watch if the weather is good. Chairs aren’t comfy to stay long and the coffee quality isn’t amazing but definitely a nice place to visit if u want to have a quick coffee stop. Very friendly team that runs the place. I had the egg tart latte which seems like just has the packed pudding in regular latte. I would take friends who are visiting from out of town to have be able to see the hustle & bustle on the street downstairs.
