Nice quiet cafe right below a HDB block. Had a bobo waffle - chicken on top a sweet potato waffle with salted egg sauce on the side. Chicken was nice and tender, just that the salted egg sauce had a strong after taste. Waffles are definitely their specialty, this being one of the many waffles they serve. The hazelnut latte I had was wonderful and came topped with coffee art.

Coffee was great. Food was delicious! Loved the sweet potato waffle. The smoked duck pasta n Laksa pasta are a must try! Ice cream to end the meal was spot on!

Food was nice but the seat location was not ideal (right in front of the toilet entrance). For a group of 4 persons, that table was a bit cramped for us.

Food was good. And I especially love the S'moreffles and sweet potato waffles here! Thick, fluffy waffles with rich fillings, and the ice cream Flavours here are good too! Third time dining here and I can never get enough of their waffles!

The restaurant was rather small and cramped. We got a table just outside the toilet and it wasn't very sanitary. Food was ok, but portion is quite small considering the price for a neighbourhood cafe. Service was quite slow as it was very crowded, not sure if the kitchen or crew is able to cope since it gets very crowded from 7pm onwards.

Nice ambience. Reasonable prices for good food. Had the Egg Lava Beef Burger which was tasty. Wish they had other desserts like cakes aside from waffles.

Waffle didn't look like the one shown on their marketing videos. Looks flatter. Taste of salted egg gravy on the fried chicken in the burger could be stronger and slightly spicier. Egg lava beef burger is interesting. Could add a little flavour in the egg before it is inserted into the beef patty. Tables were a little too cramped. I had to shift my chair a few times so that the serving staff could walk past behind me. Overall, I like the feel of the cafe.

Crab meat linguine was so-so with shreds of crab meat, no chunks. Egg lava burger had too much herbs (rosemary i think) too strong to our liking, no wow factor. Good variety of ice cream flavors and purple sweet potato waffle was good. Overall verdict: Good for desserts but food was not worth the price.

Ordered the carbonara which was decent, as well as the salted egg pasta which came with a huge chicken cutlet and it was delicious! Had the sweet potato waffles as well, which was good, but unfortunately did not have a strong sweet potato taste, will stick to the normal waffles next time! But the ice cream was delicious as well :) Overall a good experience, will definitely return! :)

Interesting food. i enjoyed the paprika fries that accompanied my salted egg chicken burger. the burger itself was ok. Pasta was cooked well. Sweet potato waffle was chewy and soft. I wish it was a little more crispy instead. Bubur chacha ice cream was light and refreshing.

Nice food. Hip ambience. Fast delivery. But crowded and cramped. The space between table to table and chair to chair can't really allow a person to walk past. Reservation for large party (like 4+)

We love the cheese fondue. We did not initially want to order it, but we saw the fondue ordered by the next table looks very good. Indeed, the cheese is still warmth when it arrives and it goes very well with the dips.

Hope to have more variety choices of food and drinks (beers) on menu. Overall still satisfactory. Lastly hope able to allow choices of seats if shop is not really crowded.
