I was here earlier and I was surprised to see that there are not much customers. Perhaps because of the location? People wouldn't know there is a cafe like this unless they find it on the internet or they accidentally walked that far along Food Street. Anyway, I am rating it 4.5 because:1. The ambience is perfect for someone like me who sometimes needs a lone time to concentrate and do a lot of thinking.2. Again, perfect for someone like me who is a KPOP fan! I appreciated the KPOP music they played earlier. Now I wonder, will they accept and play requests from customers? That would be fun!3. Customer service is great! I loved how the staff who assisted me, talked to me comfortably. That made me feel comfortable too. You see, I tend to lose my feels for a place if the staffs are lacking with customer service.4. For the drinks and foods, I only have tried their bungeoppang and Green Tea Latte. Bungeoppang is okay, worth it for Php100. Tried both the custard and Nutella flavor. Although it's only the promotional price. The regular price is Php195 for two pieces which is... pricey. I hope they stick with the promotional price. Hehe!The Green Tea Latte is good, too. Since it was my first time to taste one, so I just found out that Matcha drinks are not for me. But it's really good! Worth it for its price. Next time, I'll try other drinks(espresso based) and of course, their bingsu(when I visit with my friend)5. For the last reason, this is why I did not rate it full 5. It's about the restroom which is when left open, its smell lingers out the dining area. The smell isn't stinky, but you'd know it is coming from the toilet and it affects the ambience of the whole place(but I think it only affects 2-3 tables from the restroom) Also, the second floor! I hope they open it very soon for people who badly wants a lone time, away from too many(and a bit noisy) customers. It doesn't look good, too, how they used mops to block the stairway.That will be all for now. But one thing is for sure: I'll keep going back here on my rest days! :)

Was just walking around SM Southmall when I saw this cutesy place beside Buku-buku Kafe. Since Korean stuff was really prevalent as of today, this cafe instantly got me. I had their mocha which was good. The serving was also big enough for the price. My friends had their oreo and blueberry bingsu. I was also able to taste it and it was really fine! They also told me that the cheesecake beside blueberry bingsu was good. The ambiance was cozy and the staff was really friendly and accommodating. Big thanks to the owner who gave us free fish-shaped bread with fillings inside. I would definitely come back!

Ordered their Taro Bingsu. Not bad, but I've tasted better. The ambiance, however, was great. Will come back to try other bingsu flavors (and I do hope they taste better than the one I've tried).
