💜 Our Signature Ube Crinkle Cookie 💜
Soft, chewy, and beautifully purple — just the way nature intended.
Our Ube Crinkle Cookie gets its vibrant colour naturally from real ube, with no artificial food colouring added. We’ve also created a reduced-sugar recipe that lets the rich, earthy sweetness of ube shine through without being overly sweet.
Finished with its signature crinkled sugar coating and a soft, cake-like centre, it’s the perfect companion to your coffee or afternoon tea.
A customer favourite and one of our signature bakes for a reason.

As this year comes to a close, we’re feeling incredibly grateful. ❤️
It’s been a big year with its fair share of challenges—from health hurdles to the never-ending roadworks—but your trust and support kept us going, especially since reopening. Thank you for every visit, every smile, and every cup of coffee shared with us. You’re the reason we love what we do.
We’ll be taking a short break to recharge over Christmas, from 25th December until 4th January. We’ll reopen on Friday 5th January, ready to welcome you back with fresh coffee, delicious food, and plenty of warmth.
Wishing you all a peaceful holiday season filled with joy, good food, and great company. See you in the new year! ☕🍽️
With heartfelt thanks,

The magic of Christmas, captured in a pastry 🎄
Introducing our exclusive Christmas Tree Croissant, made in store, buttery layers are carefully shaped by hand into a festive tree, then baked to golden perfection.
But the real magic is inside… where a divine dark chocolate cream filling awaits. Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced, it flows like a hidden treasure with every single bite.
Hurry in! These enchanting croissants are available in-store only until Christmas Eve.

Golden, flaky layers melt in your mouth—our homemade croissants: a buttery symphony of taste and texture.
…
Almost four and a half years ago, we opened our doors with a simple dream: to serve freshly brewed coffee in our very first cafe. It was a dream come true.
…
That dream just got a little bigger (and a lot butterier)! We are beyond excited to finally share that we’re baking everything in-house. Starting from small batch, every flaky, buttery layer is made from scratch, right here in our little cafe. Don’t worry, our favorite items will still be available to grab.
…
It’s been a journey of early mornings and late nights, but seeing them rise is the best part of the day! Come and enjoy a perfect coffee and a homemade pastry with us!
