Reviews

  Honestly, this place isn't really about ticking off a tourist checklist — it's more for someone who wants to find a quiet little corner and just soak in the history. Even on a weekend when the whole area was packed, inside was still pretty chill. The desserts are actually creative — there's this drum tower cake that looks crazy realistic, and it tastes good too. For drinks, beyond their signature water chestnut coconut thing, the hawthorn lemon and the Americano are worth a try, especially the hawthorn Americano, which is this kinda weird but really nice sweet-and-sour combo. Fair warning though — this spot is mainly selling the vibe and the experience. The drinks themselves are kinda middle-of-the-road, so don't go in expecting amazing coffee. Overall, it's a solid place to rest your feet, take some pics, and grab a few unique little souvenirs all at once.
