The café offers several air-conditioned private rooms as well as terrace seating. If you’re driving, be mindful that the entrance is quite steep—you’ll want to be careful not to scrape the underside of your car. Both the pasta and drinks were excellent, and the prices are very reasonable.

This was an excellent experience. The food, drinks, service, and setting were all perfect, and it was well worth the money.

Went here on a hot day so the drinks and the ambience of the place were really refreshing. The cafe is divided into separate air-conditioned cabins which is perfect for small group gatherings or if you need a quiet place to work/study. The downside of this is you have to go out and go down the stairs to access the staff. Drinks were great but we didn't have the chance to sample their food.
