"This will be the first cafe which i will be rating this low. They have stored the takeaway glasses in the washroom in above cabinets. The coffee was below average. We couldn’t finish anything we ordered. Sorry but please work on the food quality and hygiene. Not visiting again."

"against the reviews, found the coffee fairly average. We tried the White Mocha Coffee, Bullet Coffee and Espresso Tonic. The Espresso Tonic lacked body and the kick and found to be weirdly watery. Bullet Coffee was average and White Mocha against the images in the menu wasn't presented the way we expected. also ordered a butter croissant which I found flaky and buttery enough."

"The good reviews seem to be fake. It's the most terrible place I've ever been to in Bangalore. Very expensive, smallest serving size I've found anywhere. They're trying to fool people. Food quality is also pathetic. Pav sized Sub for 400 bucks with stale lettuce inside, 300 bucks worth of coffee with more than half of a small wine glass simply filled with cream!!"

"A really good cafe in HSR, Bengaluru, which is not very pricey but fairly priced , they have good cold coffee classic is the best even the sea salt caramel latte was good you can ask them to add more or less sugar n decoction. Santhosh , the manager their manages the customers really well even when on weekends it's get little tough to manage all zomato orders and customers but with a smile he does his work professionally, and even listened to our request when we felt our dish was undercooked. Special mentions for the new chef Aravind he rectified the undercooked dish and was too kind to make it better when requested. The barista, staff, manager, chef everyone is really good there, so I would recommend going to this cafe on a weekday till actually enjoy the ambience which is oerfect for 2 people. Food was good , thai curry was okay, chicken steak tasted amazing but next time we would try more dishes , if you want to try this place, come when you are actually hungry coz portion is size is quiet satisfying !"

"Just spotted this café from outside and decided to give it a try since it had good Google ratings. Glad we did - we really enjoyed most of the dishes we tried here, though the prices are a bit high. 5 star if the rates were a bit less. Fish and chips: Absolutely loved it. Satisfied with the quantity as well, got three moderate big pieces. Pesto penne pasta: Another great pick. Peri peri chicken pizza: Delicious, though the crust seemed a bit like a ready-made one rather than freshly prepared. Caramel latte: Not quite my taste. Overall, it's a cozy little place with good food and pleasant ambience - definitely worth a visit."

"How the hell does this place have 4.6 rating? All fake reviews?? Went late around 11 pm got myself sea salt caramel latte, matcha latte for my husband, a ceaser salad.. the lattes were watered down mess, never seen more unappealing and un appetizing coffee ever! Im still boggled by how bad it was. The ceaser salad was the worst, how can anyone mess up a basic ceaser salad. There was mayo in it instead of ceaser dressing?! Braw what? Im unsure if it's the barista in the night or this the quality usually, it was a terrible experience! The items on the item are very enticing and get your foot in the door but the offering and quality is such a miss!"

"I’m a regular here, highly disappointed with the service, food and ambiance. Looks like the staffs were reshuffled , these guys were like who cares?? We had to pay upfront for the items we ordered, a foul smell in the air, the latte though seemed ok, the peri peri fires were dripping oil on our plate, and the colour was red hot representing devils teeth (totally red), we told them this is not something anyone would love to eat. The guy at the front desk didn’t seem to bother an ounce nor he cared to replace it (no refund either) the least a sorry may be?? Pathetic!!! This place is gonna soon shut down."
