"Very kind and helpful staff. I enjoyed their genuine, nice customer service. The place is quiet, very lit up brightly, it is small and cozy, as well as organized and clean. *Note: please only enter through the front door. There is a (I believe it's called a 5 star membership app on their tablet before you order and you can just put your phone number in to add points and redeem discounts or free items. I got to redeem half off my drink today. I got a hot coffee with condensed milk. It tasted really good. I think for next time I will request a bit more cream and sweetner, because the roast is more bitter than I typically tend to enjoy, however I do tend to have a sweet tooth and it was still prepared very well. The food also came out nice and hot to order. I ordered the fish plate. I never ordered this dish, but im plesantly surpised and extremely happy with the price as well as quality of the food. Based off taste and experience of other cafe food, I believe it came with: a crispy fried fish, beautifully garnished with a delicious slice lf cliantro, on a bed of rice, with a tastey layer of ground beef in between, a tea egg, mapo tofu, and string beans. The string beans were cooked perfectly and a vibrant, healthy, lime green. It tasted as delicious and appetizing as it looked. Greens are meant to be enjoyed at it's best like so; seasoned perfectly, fresh, crunchy, and delicious. The rice is nice and fluffy. The ground beef added subtle and nice texture. What I believed was mapo tofu was a perfect amount of mild spicy maybe about a 3 out of 10? (Level of spice. It was a little too salty for my taste, possibly more soy sauce than I am used to, however combining with everything else, it was balanced out, and still tasted very great! The fish was light and crispy. Everything tasted very fresh and amazing. I definitely would love to enjoy this dish again, as well as support the wonderful staff that work here. Thank you for an amazing experience of delicious food, drinks and service all around!"
