Reviews
- Nico_18Stumbled across this place just walking down the street, and honestly what a nice surprise. The outside doesn't look like much but inside is cute. I ordered a passion fruit lemon drink and it was so refreshing — tangy, fruity, just super light and easy to drink. Honestly it totally beat the heat that day. Would def come back just for that drink.
