"Good place to kill your afternoon time. Using good coffee machine but the beans are average. Latte art is average as well. Snow flake is great and is very soft. Flakes produced from liquid that crystalized under the roller machine and break into flakes. Quite unique"

"There were 6 of us. Most of the tables were occupied but mostly customers put own belongings. The only empty table can only seat 3 person. We requested for another 3 chairs from the staff but they just replied no more extra chairs without making an arrangement with other customers. Most of the 4pax tablea were seated 2 pax only and the extra chairs were used to put bags. Hopefully the staff can be given proper training to serve the customers better."

"We ordered a Brown Almond Milk Bingsu and Earl Grey Biscoff to share. Taste good and the cutleries were pretty. Small area, the tables were tiny, but good enough for a quick dessert. Toilet is shared with the hotel and Gam Tong restaurant next door. Cleanliness can be improved and the light above the sink still flickers since the last time we visited several months ago. Recommended for the bingsu, even the taro balls and paste were tasty too."

"Had the green tea Bingsu. It was so light and airy, as it was the finest shaved ice I’ve ever had! The portion was much smaller than expected though."
