Looks ancient and brings you back to your grandparents era. Lesser variety of food but has great atmosphere to chill and be alone.

Very interesting new cafe selling only few beverages and tarts . However their tarts is one of the best in JB, homemade with very fresh ingredients . Blueberries and grapes tarts are very fresh. Their banana tarts is very unique too. Surprisingly the coffee is good too. Not much option but most of them are above average . Will definitely come back again. Always crowded seatings limited .

this place is such a charming vintage gem. it’s filled with old-school memorabilia and antique pieces that give it a nostalgic homey feel, almost like stepping into someone’s cozy living room from the past. we had iced hojicha & salted caramel lattes and a chocolate banana tart, and the tart was absolutely the bomb! the other cakes on display looked so tempting too, just wish I had more room for another slice of dessert. overall a great spot to slow down, soak in the vibe, and enjoy good coffee and dessert. will definitely return when I’m back in jb!

Truly a hidden gem in mt austin area! Was recommended by a friend, decided to drop by after lunch. Was super impressed and excited by the collections of vintage items inside d cafe, its really crazy! The cakes and coffee are very yummy too! We first ordered a slice of early grey yuzu + latte, the egy was very light, refreshing and unique taste, paired well with latte. Decided to order more cz the ambient was too chill and comfy HAHAHAHA. Second round we ordered the chocolate banana tart with chamomile tea. The choc banana took us by surprised cz it has big chunks of bananas in between dark choc cream and the crunchy tart base with caramel also very sedap! Everything goes well together. Wanted to stay longer but had to rush off. Will definitely come again whenever im in the area! I hope u guys will be in business for a long long time so i have chance to keep coming here for good coffee and yummy cakes!!! 祝你生意兴隆,高朋满座,长做长有!!

A hidden gem that I recently discovered Their nostalgic decor transports you back to childhood memories, making each visit a trip down memory lane. I ordered the Chocolate Banana Tart. This classic dessert impressed me with its impeccable layers: a nice pie crust at the base, a layer of salted caramel adding a delightful hint of saltiness, dark chocolate mousse providing rich, deep flavors, fresh bananas adding a fruity touch, and a topping of fresh cream dusted with cocoa for a perfect finish. The combination of textures and flavors was beautifully balanced, making every bite a treat. I also tried the Grape Yoghurt Cheese Tart. The tart was a refreshing with the sweet grapes complementing the creamy yoghurt cheese filling perfectly. The tart crust was just right, adding a satisfying crunch to the creamy and fruity layers. If you want to spend time alone, this cafe is for you. It’s v cozy with excellent music choices that enhance the serene and comforting vibe. Overall experience was outstanding. Earning a perfect 10/10. It’s a wonderful spot for those looking to enjoy a peaceful, nostalgic ambiance paired with delicious desserts.
