Cosy, quiet hangout

Stumbled upon this cosy little cafe one late afternoon while my friend and I were exploring the Duxton area. Apparently, it had just opened not too long ago, and the place did seem like it was still settling into the business of things. The owner said that they specialised in alcoholic cakes, which piqued my interest, and so we decided to try them out. I had the Chocolate Rum cake while my friend had the Lychee Martini.

Stumbled upon this cosy little cafe one late afternoon while my friend and I were exploring the Duxton area. Apparently, it had just opened not too long ago, and the place did seem like it was still settling into the business of things. The owner said that they specialised in alcoholic cakes, which piqued my interest, and so we decided to try them out. I had the Chocolate Rum cake while my friend had the Lychee Martini. Both were great on the palette, with the alcohol taste apparent yet not overpowering. I preferred the latter as it was lighter and slices were generous.

Cake decor, on the other hand, appeared somewhat amateur-ish, and pairing was kinda sub-standard - the cakes came with a shot glass of what tasted like store-bought chocolate ice cream and Ribena respectively. I thought these factors kinda undermined the standards of their cakes, esp if they are looking to compete with the big boys in the area. But i guess staying out of the radar is a good thing too, for those who are looking for an unpopulated place to spend a quiet evening chilling out. They're open for event bookings too.
