We had a gathering of 25 ladies at this cafe ,and it was such an amazing evening. The atmosphere was warm and lively, perfect for a big group like ours. The food and drinks were lovely, but what stood out most was how welcoming the space felt—it made our evening truly special. Highly recommend this cafe.
We’ve eaten here several times as we love the fish tacos and pulled beef sandwich. Coffee has good taste and quality. All the staff have been pleasant and accommodating. Nice hummus and bread while waiting as well. Would definitely recommend.
Went for an evening meetup in this cafe with over 20 ladies. They curated a set menu on our request few days prior to the event as per budget, making sure it caters to all (veg/non veg/vegan) with selection of drinks, appetizers and main course. Their staff went above and beyond in accommodating all the requests (including to click multiple pictures ) and making everyone feel comfortable in terms of seating arrangement. Needless to say, it was very well managed, served great food (in terms of taste, quality and presentation), amazing drinks to go along, offered some complimentary dips & bread. Highly recommend as we had a delightful experience.
At first, I thought it was pricey!!! Then I realised we get what we pay for—amazing-tasting coffee, a lively or quiet (depending on the time) atmosphere, an excellent frittata that was not oily, and intuitive service. Who trains them? Kudos to your team.
Lovely outdoor seating in January, cool weather and enough shade too. Seats were comfy enough and the food was tasty. Great for a coffee catch up with family/friends.
Yesterday we had a huge group of ladies & BTR did an awesome job with everything especially the food- the salads were exceptional. Enjoyed our time; the staff were really accommodating with our special requirements. Overall really pleased with the whole experience & will be back with my family soon. Nadia
