About This Place

Surprisingly excellent cappuccino and coconut coffee in a quiet apartment lobby cafe with very few seats and even fewer crowds.

Lovely space with lots of greens surrounding. Drinks are great, metal straws (love it). Price is good. Definitely coming back

This place is the most unexpected delicious cappuccino I have had in a while. Basically an apartment hotel lobby mini coffee house, it has nothing to offer on 1st glance. But it is quiet, the chairs are comfortable, there is very little seating, and even less customers, and the staff is polite, efficient and makes great coffee. And that is more than enough.
