Our Opinion About The Shop

We choose this shop as our research on hipster cafe because of their beautiful and yummy patisseries. Besides that, we also love croissant bread they sold. We had ordered a chocolate croissant bread which cost us only RM 5.90 per chocolate croissant bread. The taste of the croissant bread are awesome as the chocolate they use are dark chocolate and it tasted bittersweet and smell nice, the bread also very fluffy and soft.
