Diners often praise the big portions and tasty western food, especially the lunch sets with soup. Many say the staff are friendly and attentive, and the space feels comfortable and cozy for a regular visit. Food can slow down when the shop fills up, and one reviewer saw only one staff member on duty. A few say the decor is plain. One reviewer alleged unfair treatment and another said the cafe is no longer pet friendly.

Strong coffee and baked goods in a wood-lined, plant-filled space draw repeat visitors. Hours inconsistency cost one visit, and prices run high, but staff warmth and quiet ambience make this a worthwhile detour for those seeking a calm cafe.
