"Ga pernah nyoba minumannya, karena udah keburu kenyang pas usah disana. Cuma cari desserts (dessert beraaat). Bomboloni 5/5, donat 4/5, pastry cream strawberry 4/5. Cream isian juara. Suasana cafe hangat, pemilihan tones tiap furniture ama warna cafe hangat. Menunggu 20 menit buka pas owner sholat jg ikhlas."

"it's a small cafe near my house that i always pass by and got curious because my sister always buys their pastries (and it was really good!). The staff were really warm, friendly and welcoming even though they made some excusable mistakes, it's still a recommend place to visit for me. The price is so affordable for a cafe in Balikpapan. So 9/10 would recommend."

"Kafe kopi mungil tapi cukup nyama untuk dine in. Kopinya enak,, taste nya bersaing bahkan lebih enak drpd brand yg sudah ada lainnya. Makanannya roti-roti semua yg udah saya coba enak-enak dan lebih enak juga drpd toko sebelah dgn harga yg bersaing. Saya selalu beli disini kopi aren, sourdogh cranberry creamcheese. Mantul ...semoga makin sukses dan mmpertahankan citarasnya."
