"Cosy little cafe tucked snug in the heart of Tawau, great for tonic sips and light bites. Lightly but tastefully decorated, tabled amply despite its smaller size, and peacefully quiet on a weekday midmorning. The music is mellow and the service is amiable. Here's to hoping Tawau keeps this bijou spot afloat and well."

"From Latte, Affogato, Matcha, Cold brew and variety of desserts! Nice atmosphere to chill in the middle of Tawau. Although, some drinks may not be always available, maybe because of MCO. But you can check them out on their Ig for infos on what available. Usually close on Tuesday. Overall, quite interesting and looking forward for the next inventions of tea or coffee after the pandemic are all gone, fingers cross!"

"What an underrated place. Maybe the location is not easily accessible but once you enter the cafè, you found a sanctuary inside a city. The coffee is great, especially mocha. The cookies is superb. Maybe the price is not really friendly but it is worth your time if youre looking a place to chill out. Great barista.."
