What do customers say?

Reviewers keep coming back to the bread itself. Visitors describe focaccia that is soft and fluffy inside with a crisp crust, and the flavour list keeps growing. Many say the owner is warm and cheerful, and the cafe feels cosy for a slow afternoon.

Several reviewers name favourites, including pandan kaya, sea salt double chocolate, and honey tomato cheese. A few note that some edges run salty, and one says a jalapeño portion felt small. Pre-ordering is suggested for the special flavours.
