Tried their matcha latte and I loved it! Really tasted the matcha. I think you'll like it if you want a creamier and sweeter matcha. My friend got the Earl Grey tea, which she liked. Will definitely come back for their food!

UPDATE - so I let the pastries stay in the fridge for a day to check if it is still good. The Daisy Mango... uhh... if you want overpriced fondant pastry with a splash of artificial-esque Mango flavor, go ahead. It does look good on cam I'd give it that. Their signature tart revived it tho - it was sooooooo good! The Strawberry Basque Burnt Cheesecake is really good too, but the prices are the only thing that puts me off. ordered the items I like for takeout as there are quite a few people dining on a Tuesday afternoon. If you want a relaxing time to enjoy your dessert, you may not like the place as it can get pretty crowded. They offer, what I would assume, free water tho so that's a plus. And their takeout service are a 10/10 !

We love their Kakigori (shaved ice) and we tried both the Milo and the Matcha. The regular size is good for 2-3 people. The toast was good too, and serving was large also, good for sharing. Coffee was delicious as well. Place was very clean, seating was comfortable, and a nice place to hang out with friends or even to spend time alone. We will try the tarts on our next visit.

Our all-time fave egg tart It's texture is light, crunchy and cheesy Me and my mom loves staying here for quick chitchats and rest after shopping/grocery. There are a lot of desserts to choose from but I definitely recommend their Salted Egg tart. The atmosphere is so great and cozy too! The staff are very attentive and quick If you're into basic taste, just try the original Signature egg tart. Better partner it with Hazelnut coffee or their pure, rich and creamy Matcha latte It's the best Matcha blend I've ever tried

I ordered Iced Dark Chocolate worth 200 pesos, it tasted Iced Milo drink. I don't think the price for the drink is justifiable. I ordered Salted Egg Tart, as well. To my surprise, it tasted good. It costs 158 pesos. I might try the other flavors some other time.

Place is aesthetically pleasing and appealing. Probably why a lot of people dine. The food was alright. The chocolate espresso tart was ok. We sadly didn’t finished the tart so we took it home instead. The egg tart was amazing! Finished within a few minutes. The fluffy egg and the layers were scrumptious. Would recommend the egg tart. Iced cappuccino was spot on. Would order this again and probably try the other flavors of the egg tarts.
