beautiful place, lovely staff and great foods. the only issue is, there is limited seating and everytime i’ve been here, the entire table is taken up by people just taking pictures of themselves. i understand the cafe has an instagrammable vibe but it is frustrating when you want to grab a bite and every seat is taken by people who are not even dining even at off peak times. despite this, I want to reiterate that everything else is lovely and I do recommend picking up one of their wonderful treats and great coffees or matcha for takeaway
