One of the best cheesecakes I have had. Very simple & not too sweet. The milk chocolate has the sweetness of chocolate chips.

Their cheesecakes are honestly one of my favourites 😭 so good, I keep going back for them.

I just miss when they used to serve the sauce in the little cups. Now it comes in the wafer cone, & because it gets soggy, the sauce doesn't taste as good by the end.

But the cheesecake itself? Still so good. Their coffee is just okay though, nothing too special.

Beautiful & calm atmosphere. I got a small vanilla latte & a cheesecake with milk chocolate topping. It was the right amount of sweetness ☺?
