“ Chic little cafe with friendly staff and amazing food. Prices aren’t too bad and the quality is great. Educational collaterals about Hong Kong all over. ”
“ If you're stopping by, the Frittata is a must-try. I also had a flat white which was quite unique. It had a hint of Earl Grey tea which gave it an interesting twist. It tasted more like a milk tea than your typical coffee. Occasionally, you may see a pretty female barista, then you will know you are getting a nice latte art. I was eyeing the Tom Yum Spaghetti, but unfortunately, I was too full to try it. It's definitely on my list for the next visit. ”

“ Delicious food, dong yam noodles is absolutely good. A good place to enjoy coffee and food. Hong Konger run the cafe with whole heartedly. After months of running, today I have lunch, they are still keeping high standards, excellent! Always has a hidden menu, surprise and delicious. There is a hidden menu that will be announced on their Facebook. Usually it is very special and delicious. Today, there is a short rib in Red Curry Style. I finished it all with a dish shining. In summer, you shouldn't miss out on the garden to relax and chill. ”
“ Fellow Americans I traveled to Nottingham to see a friend and while waiting for them to be free I decided to check out this shop. It was absolutely cute and charming with the garden seating outside with good food/drinks. I got a coffee and a scone that was way larger then I expected (a plus). Wasn't anything expensive. If you are visting Nottingham and want a local shop to enjoy to relax and take the british aura come here. The workers also delt with a rude customer while I was dining and they did not lose their cool so they know customer service. hate to see Karen's exist in the UK too. ”
“ The place has many interesting aspects and has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The food on offer is small and good for a small snack stop, this place offers a selection of coffee, ice coffee, soft drinks and does a great vanilla milkshake. I chose to order an iced 3 shot espresso with a delicious grilled cheese toastie which I enjoyed greatly. The Cafe also has movie nights which, even though I haven't attended any, sound like a great experience. Now on to my personal favorite part of is the atmosphere, there is a beautiful gallery on the bottom floor which is filled with many amazing paintings, all with a different styles, some of which I have taken photos of for you to see. The atmosphere is great and is extremely comfortable, while seating is limited it doesn't affect the atmosphere at all. Then to add on to this it had an amazing garden filled with many plants and bees, this garden also has many mosaics which are an interesting and nice addition to the garden, which I have also left a picture for you to see, there is also outside seating in the garden. Overall this is a great place to come alone or with kids and family and I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in art and who like to pop in for a coffee or have a nice relaxing sit down. ”
“ Best quality of coffee and scone. Great local cafe with peaceful atmosphere. Dong Yam noodles and shrimp noodles are very delicious. Coffee beans are also highly recommended. ”
