Savsav is described as a bright, stylish hidden cafe with large windows that let in plenty of light and a calm yet lively vibe, though some reviews find it chaotic and noisy with music that can feel overpowering. The space and decor get praise for being inviting and photogenic, making it a popular spot for studying or working, with high ceilings and plentiful daylight that attract laptop crowds, while others say the vibe can be a bit off when the energy feels crowded or unfocused. Coffee and drinks are frequently highlighted as strong or inventive, including a standout strawberry matcha served in a carafe, though a hojicha hot chocolate disappointed some and a few beverages are critiqued for being overpriced or overly loaded with ice. Food receives mixed reactions, with favorites like the Hangover plate sandwich and tuna sandwich earning praise from some, while others find portions small or not worth the price. Service ranges from friendly and efficient to slow or unfriendly, and there are notes about long waits, a sometimes unclear ordering process, and occasional kitchen closures, balanced by overall appreciation for the ambiance, the concept, and the potential for a good meet up or work session despite the caveats.
Cute café. Gotta know where the entrance is, check their IG. It's got tall ceilings, lots of sunlight (you might act actually end up with the sun too in your face in the winter low sun). Good food & coffee. I got a strawberry matcha (I think it's limited time) & it came in a big carafe so I could have easily shared.
Good spot to read, study, work, catch up with friends. There are some designated no laptop tables even. A cozy couch section. Some 2 person tables. Some communal large tables. I can't recall seeing plugs since I used my laptop battery.

Came here for a lunch date with my husband. Cute atmosphere & the service is amazing. We had the grilled cheese & with tomato soup & Iced Matcha latte was Devine 😋 The coffee was less desirable with a weird bitter taste. The chocolate croissant could have been warmed up. But overall we loved our experience & will be coming back again.
Cute cafe with a bright, airy atmosphere. The big windows bring in a lot of natural sunlight & there are different seating arrangements, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a coffee with friends, or get some work done at the communal table. Music on top of voices can be a little loud at times. Food & drinks wise, got a chai latte & mocha, both very tasty. The food as well was pretty good, we tried the grilled cheese with tomato soup, & the smoked fish sandwich. We wanted a sweet treat & got the chocolate dessert which was rich & decadent (we couldn't finish it).
Cute lil cafe, kinda hidden as you have to go into the warehouse/building. We wanted to come for brunch but they told us the kitchen was exceptionally closed but then we saw a couple of people get food less than 30 mins after we ordered so that was a little sad! Nevertheless the service was great, it's a really cute spot with lots of seating (they even had outdoor seating). I got the matcha freddo & my friend had the HCMC coffee, I liked how my matcha wasn't sweetened! Maybe we can come back next time & be able to try the food.
Why not?...... this place definitely deserved a four star review, I will breakdown my experience on three pillars, Service food & decor. The service: as she took charge of me, making me feel at home, always professional, guided me to the menu & deliver the dishes on time & a beautiful attitude. The food : Pretty consistent in the quality across-the-board the dish of the day was delicious. The salad with shrimps was well balanced, & tasty. The portions were small but tasty. on their coffee was honestly very good. I asked for it dirty chai & it was delivered to me fast. I'm with a twist. The Decor: by far the weakest link of the three pillars ,I can see they try to put an effort by adding the light installation, the decor that has a lot of loose ends, & it has tremendous potential to become something else, the disposition of the room is not well thought out, but it works. I will definitely go back & I will definitely recommend to anyone to visit this place
