Testimonials
Thank you for posting on nextdoor.com. i wouldn't have known about your shop. Your cousins baked goods are delicious . Passion fruit cheesecake and Guava cheesecake on a stick were great with a tea. Thank you.

It’s a coffee stand - order and go no seating or hangout spots. I only got hot regular coffee and it was good. Would love to see some vegan/plant-based snack/food option(s). The person (Maria??) working was friendly. Would stop by again.
