Ziyou: “Narrow and steep stairs lead to this dark and cramped cafe spread out over three floors.  Perhaps due to its proximity to a station or its moody and artsy interior, the cafe seems busy and popular at all times.  But considering that the food and drinks were rather uninteresting and the space felt a little suffocating, many better alternatives abound in the area. ★★★☆☆”

Yeh: “This cafe had a lot of promise, with its somewhat obscure entrance, artsy vibe, and flexible minimum order requirement.  However the food was just typical for a cafe — unimpressive and expensive — and the cakes were not as fluffy or tasty as we had hoped.  Worth a look and a quick stop, but best to linger elsewhere. ★★★☆☆”

Chin Chin: “Lots of stairs mommy!”
