Went to Festival Walk with my buddy so on our way home, we decided to stop here for a break. Environment+ Cleanliness:First of all, I love the green door of the cafe. It looks so retro and cool! Then stepping inside, it was a clean, bright place that was very welcoming, which could probably hold about 15-20 people. I wonder if they changed hands because the name changed and I didn't see the hazelnut cake, brioche or focaccia that I saw everyone talking about on openrice. They were why I wanted

First of all, I love the green door of the cafe. It looks so retro and cool! Then stepping inside, it was a clean, bright place that was very welcoming, which could probably hold about 15-20 people. I wonder if they changed hands because the name changed and I didn't see the hazelnut cake, brioche or focaccia that I saw everyone talking about on openrice. They were why I wanted to come actually. Oh well... There was no place for us to sit at first, but a really nice gentleman, who was reading his paper gave us his table and left.
Taste+ value: My friend wasn't in the mood for anything so I quickly grabbed a "Dirty" ($35). I wanted to make sure that a Dirty was what I thought it was so I asked the staff in Cantonese. Then he replied me in Mandarin saying that he was Korean and asked if we could use PTH. I was a bit surprised, so he used some English and Mandarin to explain to me what a Dirty was before I ordered it. The first sip had some coffee grounds in it, but then they kinda disappeared after that so I guess it was okay. I really like the combination of warm/hot espresso with cold milk. It's so refreshing. I think this has become my new favourite espresso based drink! This was cheaper than another cup of Dirty that I had in Shengwan and although that was better, I'd probably choose this over that because of the price.
Service:The Korean barista was very friendly and helpful as we tried to converse in different languages. It was an interesting experience. He gave us both a cup of water even though only I ordered a drink.
Final Verdict:
I noticed that they have Fish & Chips on the menu so I think that's what I will try next time with my cup of Dirty.
