A new cafe opened recently in Causeway Bay. This time the Haven Street area. I happened upon it and noticed all these cute little balloons of lions. Curious, I decided to give it a try.Menu is in English only. There is no 10% service charge. Like many cafes, they have a selection of coffee varieties along with cafe style food.

Menu is in English only. There is no 10% service charge. Like many cafes, they have a selection of coffee varieties along with cafe style food. But of course, it was after work and I wanted something sweet.
I eventually chose a Mixed Fruit Panna Cotta ($52) as it was something not on the menu and they wanted to give ita try. Apparently they make all their desserts, pastries and cookies in house. Most of it is whatever they are trying out so not often on the menu. When this arrived I was a bit surprised. In the back of my mind I figured it would be a regular panna cotta with a fruit sauce or coulis with bits of fresh fruit. Instead it was a panna cotta on the bottom and a layer of clear fruit jelly on top. I love jelly so this was a nice surprise. The panna cotta was very creamy and rich in milk flavour. The jelly was the right amount of firmness to give it a wobble. It was topped with fresh fruit that included apples, blueberries, orange and grapefruit.
I chose a Latte ($45) and they offer a choice of either fruity or winey. Yes, winey. Usually places offer nutty but here they offer the recently popular wine barrel aged coffee beans. It was strong yet sweet. There was not too much milk so it wasn't watered down.
While there they had samples of treats they were making. I couldn't help myself. I wanted to try. The nougat was the chewy kind with a strong nutty taste with bits of dried fruit. They also had butter shortbread cookies with a strong buttery taste that literally melted in your mouth.
A nice little cafe with super friendly service where they seem to be having fun trying out new things. A good addition to this small quiet area of Causeway Bay.
