Review Summary

Ambrose Café offers a conveniently located, cozy environment that many visitors find suitable for studying or working, though experiences regarding the atmosphere vary significantly. While some guests praise the friendly service and high quality of beverages like the dirty chai and London fog, others report inconsistencies in drink preparation and find the loud music and bright lighting to be disruptive. The small menu and limited pastry selection are noted alongside mixed feedback on the availability of functional power outlets, resulting in an overall reputation that appeals to some as a productive workspace while leaving others feeling underwhelmed by the beverage expertise and general vibe.

Plus de 20 minutes d'attente pour 2 sandwich aux oeufs, il n'y avait aucun autre client avant nous. Pain réchauffé dans un air fryer maison. J'ai dit à la dame à l'accueil que j'étais en retard à un rendez-vous. La cuisinière a finalement terminé la commande & a appelé sa collègue pour dire que c'était prêt. Elle a commencé à faire tout sauf me donner ma commande à 3m d'elle. La cuisinière a dû prendre les devant & m'amener ma commande. Pas de papier pour sécher nos mains dans les toilettes. C'est apparemment un hôtel & les notes sont bonnes sur Google, mais ça ne mérite clairement pas ça

Kinda disappointed by the CAFE compared to the good rating.
Very bright white lighting, their 5$ latte is just coffee with milk in it (no expertise). Depends on your needs, bit the vibes are kinda off.
Didn't try the hotel, though.

Ordered the matcha rose latte. I can taste both rose & matcha, & it's not too sweet. 10/10 would go again

I only tried the cafe & loved their vanilla latte. It was so frothy & perfect. A good quiet ambiance.

Update: I'm editing my review to include an incredible experience I had today. Since my umbrella was wet from the rain, I left it in the stand near the door. But when I was about to leave I noticed my umbrella was missing. I don't know whether someone took it by mistake or if it was an act of theft. Anyway, when I brought the issue to the lovely barista, an employee of the hotel (Nathanael) overheard my concern & offered to help. He literally went out in rain & got me a new umbrella! Just asked me to return it once I got something of my own. This should be a textbook example of going above & beyond. Goes to show how some employees take pride in their work & elevate the customer experience even if they don't have to. I'd cherish this kind gesture forever.

Original review:
I'm officially in love with this cute little cafe. Doesn't feel like a typical "designed by corporate" or "trying to be hip" cafe. Instead, it makes you feel as if you've stepped into your study in your home.

I tried their latte & croissant; they were good. Barista was nice & polite.
