"Great spot for coffee, desserts, and so much more! The menu is very extensive featuring crispy egg waffles, egg tarts, breakfast foods, wings, and egg tarts. The owner is an older man who runs the shop mainly on his own during the weekdays. He can seem a bit intimidating at first, but he 's actually a very nice guy when you stop to converse with him. All the coffee here is roasted and made in house, and because he makes everything himself, the orders take some time. We stayed to study for about 4 hours and within those hours we ordered a pandan coconut coffee, ube coconut coffee, Pandan mochi waffle, Yummy Bao with pork, Durian egg waffle, and tofu pudding. Pandan coconut coffee 5/5: The coffee is strong with a subtle taste of pandan. I like that it 's not too sweet and you can taste a good amount of coffee. Ube coconut coffee 4.5/5: I loved that this was made with real purple yam bits. You get a strong flavor of coffee and the ube flavor isn 't as strong but you can ask for it to be more sweet if you want more flavor. Pandan mochi waffle 5/5: so crispy and delicious! Pandan flavor is very light and not too sweet which I liked and the mochi on the inside was nice and chewy! Yummy Bao with pork 4/5: this is like a sandwich that came with a large piece of pork belly, tomato, and lettuce that is sandwiches in an Asian steamed Bao! Durian egg waffle 5/5: if you are a durian fan like me, definitely try this out! There is fresh durian filling in the waffle with a light taste of durian. I especially love the crispy texture and you can 't go wrong with any of their waffle flavors. Tofu Pudding 4/5: got this with red bean and mung bean and it was pretty good. The beans were a little hard but the tofu was very silky and tasted great with the syrup. It gets pretty busy during the weekday mornings but dies down in the early afternoons and makes a great spot to study at. It is a relatively quiet study spot with no background music other than the sound of the owner making coffee. There is parking available in the back parking lot as well as street parking in front of the shop.Overall, I would highly recommend checking out this spot for great coffee and a variety of snacks. This has easily become one of my go to study spots because of the quiet environment and extensive food options!"
