Amazing place!! I had the Hot Honey Chicken bowl, and it was really delicious, & all the ingredients so fresh! Great variety of textures and layering of flavors. Service was so kind and prompt, and the cafe is full of tables, surrounded windows and sunshine. Will go back anytime!

I have been wanting to try this place. We brought the family in today. We got a chicken Fajita omlette, French toast and kids turkey sandwich and French toast. The lavender latte was also good. We will be back. Overall good service, food and value.

The Dubai Chocolate Pancakes and the Cookie Butter Latte were amazing. Take an empty stomach, portions are nice. Food was delivered hot to the table. Love the ambiance of the restaurant and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely be back!
