For Muslim visitors, Takwa NurIrfan appreciates the inclusive atmosphere, saying, “Eventhough this place more to Buddhist religion, they are welcome us as normal person.” This sentiment of openness and warmth is echoed by Tze Ern Ong, who emphasizes the friendly nature of the staff, making every visitor feel at home. However, it's worth noting that for coffee lovers, there has been a long-standing issue with the coffee machine, which has not been operational since CNY 2019. While this may be a downside for some, the other offerings certainly make up for it.

A quiet place to relax/study/work. Staffs are friendly as usual. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for everyoneoutside the cafe has a small space to sell their merchandise. However, their coffee machine has been broken since CNY 2019, and not fixed yet, which is unfortunate for coffee addicts.
