Cherry is a very kind, friendly and patient person. She welcomes you warmly and with a smile recommends some great options. She was kind enough to even help me with my tax invoice for work, despite me calling at a busy time and showed great customer care to assist me urgently. Thank you Cherry. Until we meet again.

Visited today with my husband who works right next door. He had been boasting about how great the coffee and service was and now I got to witness it for myself. Honestly the best hot chocolate I've had in the longest time and the lemon chicken was amazing!! The service is also the best, so friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to visit again...with the kids as promised!
