"The staff is nice! I tried the Mazapan drink & it was ok. I had better. Still not giving up on them & will try them again."

"I came here for the first time. I liked how they have different flavor options than the typical coffee shop for example mazapan, flan, dubai chocolate. I ordered a Dubai Chocolate Latte and a Masapan Frapp, with a banana bread muffin and a cream cheese and jalapeño roll. Its on a busy street so it gets loud and have to repeat yourself... I felt confused because I had seen cars around the building on the other side,but the business has 2 windows.. My husband preferred the masapan Frap as he said was less sweet."
