The decor is noted as aesthetically pleasing and the staff widely described as welcoming and attentive, though service can be uneven at busy times. Prices are seen as reasonable by some and overpriced by others, reflecting mixed value. Cleanliness varies, with one review calling the bathrooms dirty. Overall the place comes across as a popular dessert destination with a wide flavor range and options to sample flavors, but experiences can differ depending on timing, crowd and execution of the desserts.View restaurant profile

Café Kujira is described as a bright, stylish spot with a welcoming staff and generally excellent coffee, especially Paraiso Silver for pour over, and solid matcha and London fog; the space is noted as great for studying or working thanks to ample natural light and a calm, comfortable atmosphere, and service is often praised for attentiveness and for remembering regular orders. While most reviews highlight the vibe, coffee quality, and pastries, a few mention disappointing drinks with weak or unbalanced milk foams or some bland items, yet the overall impression remains that Café Kujira is a reliable, well loved neighborhood cafe with a nice ambiance and convenient location.View restaurant profile

Cafe Mercedes is described by reviewers as a place where little was ordered so comments on food are not possible, but the staff are very courteous and drink prices are reasonable. The evenings are seen as superb with a definite intention to return, and Fridays are described as fairly quiet but still worth another visit. Comments also mention a pleasant ambiance, a charming small terrace with a fountain on rock, attentive service, good pizza, and excellent coffee. Overall the impression is a welcoming, enjoyable experience with a tendency to revisit.View restaurant profile
