Traveler reviews
Vernice Lim
★★★★★Edited 3 weeks agoVisited late afternoon almost into dinner time hoping to get a croissant but they were sold out. But had a wonderful recommendation by the staff to try the cream puffs or cannoli. I went ahead with the cream puff with alcoholic cream filling and was very delighted by the flavour. Paired along with a cappuccino and it was delicious. Recommend trying it other than the croissant.

★★★★★5 months agoGreat boutique cafe near Jewish quarters. The bakery was fresh and great. I tried their fresh orange juice and almond croissant with the coffee and everything was excellent and fresh. The prices were very reasonable and the customer service was excellent. I’ll highly recommend to try their bakery including pizzas if you’re around
