Went there with a friend for lunch. Small place, much smaller than expected. Not a good place for chats at all. Ordered a pasta with smoked salmon. Pasta barely warm with two small pieces of salmon. Served with cake and coffee at the end. Cake plain taste. Coffee soso. Overall mediocre food. Not worth the price in my opinion. $45 more reasonable for its food and service. With >$80 there are many other places with better food and service. Really, don't expect too much. This is a try-once-and-forget-it restaurant. Saw many posts below with good comments on its croissant. Seriously it's the same everywhere unless the croissant is made wrong, completely wrong. Not to say it's not good here but it's overrated.

I have not been there for a long time. A little bit surprised that the owner still remember me. Definitely add point! Ordered the afternoon tea set: rose tea cake and latte.The rose cake has a light rose flavor, not sweet and with nice dressing. The latte is a little bit hot. The handmade latte art is cute~~ It got many likes in my facebook. One girl asked me where I got it  Will go there often if I have the time~~ very hospital owner and nice food.

I first tried its coffee latte on one Saturday afternoon. It's quite nice. When I saw how they made the pumpkin soup, their dinner attracts me. Well, it's quite hard to book a table. U call the same day, full reservation...... After struggling for a while, I and my friend did stand outside their door at 8:10 pm for a 8:30 reservation. We took the table at around 8:40. The restaurant holder is nice, chatting with us to see our needs and make you a friendly feeling. Quite surprising he even remembered that I tried coffee once. Comes to the topic, the pumpkin soup is quite nice!!! My friend loves this restuarant after the soup~~

Wanna find a place to have a chat with my best friend, finally we booked a table at Rondavy's Artisan Kitchen. The cafe is pretty small, with 5 tables only, but the environment is cozy and nice. We arrived the cafe at 3pm, glad that we have reserved the table. Unfortunately, on sat, there are no pasta as mentioned by the staff, they only offer some light stuff on wkends. Therefore, only cake, sandwiches and salads available. I have ordered a pita bread with chicken. The size was big enough to make me full, and the taste of the bread is really good. The latte was in average. My friend has ordered a roasted beef salad, the size comparatively was smaller than the bread, but the taste is still good. Her cold mocha looks special and nice. A really cool place for 2-3 people's chat, but not for a large group. Price is slightly expensive then normal cafes, but is reasonable. Would recommend to friends.

 Hazelnut Caffe Latte -The coffee here is roasted and supplied by a Well-Known local coffee shop. This drink has a shot of espresso and some hazelnut syrup. This was ok but a little too sweet. The temperature of this one is pretty good! ~ 6/10 . 
Caffe Latte -The coffee bean is currently an Indonesian Java Grade 1. I was fairly intrigued as to why it's chosen to be used as a single origin here, as it's normally drank locally as a black drip coffee or used in some old-styled Espresso blend (correction: it's an Arabica Bean called Ateng.) ! Nevertheless, this came out to be quite balanced and mild, although a steep drop off in sourness happens nearer the end of the drink. Blend aside, the coffee was made pretty decently. ~ 6.5/10 . 
Espresso -The Single Origin works better with milk, as this was a little harsh due to the bean's nature. . 
Tofu Cake -This is made from both Local and Japanese Tofu, as well as Soy Milk. It is quite tofu-ey yet smooth and almost jiggly! Very good cake and presented beautifully on the plate with well drawn flower patterns! ~ 8/10 . 
Lemon Grass Cake -這個本來不太期待的, 因為香茅好多時比西人廚師用得太多搶晒啲味. 但來到後完全改觀了, 因為係全場 highlight - 好好味! Using a bit of Lemongrass that is boiled in milk and French Cream from Normandy, this had 2 layers - a denser layer at bottom and a more airy cream layer on top. The lemon zest worked well with this cake, which comes with a base made with Valrhona chocolate powder and two types of crusted Digestive Biscuits. Pretty good overall and would come back for this! 9/10 . 
New York Cheesecake -This uses the same imported cream cheese as Mandarin Cakeshop, and it was definitely smooth. I thought the texture was great but it needed a little bit more cheesy factor. The presentation was pretty good nevertheless ~ 6/10 
Lychee Cake -This had a chopped lychee layer and some lychee and normal cream layer. We hoped to coax more lychee flavour out of this, but it needs some more work to really manifest its advertised flavours! Texture-wise, it was pretty good again. ~ 6/10 . 
Chocolate Muffin - Coming here with a Muffin making expert D, we were a bit flabbergasted when the oven reheated muffin became a little too moist and slimey. It also hasn't popped out of the baking mould with an inflated muffin top - perhaps I could give them some of my muffin top? Nevertheless its promising. It's made of 85% Dark Chocolate from Valrhona, but seemed a little light in chocolate taste anyhow. Needs a revamp of the formula ! ~ 5/10 ****************************** **************************** - A CAFE SPACE TO GO RELAX AND INDULGE IN THE CAKES AND THE PICTURESQUE LIKE SETTING. - THE LEMON-GRASS CAKE IS WORTH COMING BACK FOR ALONE. THE TOFU CAKE IS ALSO DONE PRETTY WELL INDEED. YOU CAN ORDER THEIR FULL SIZED CAKES TOO FOR FRIEND'S BIRTHDAYS OR ANNIVERSARIES, AS RONDAVY'S ALSO RUN A CAKE SHOP WHOLESALING BUSINESS! - COFFEE AND OTHER CAKES, HAVE ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT STILL!
