Had the Cheese Cake Mousse and Cherry Almond Tart. The food was tasty however the prices were bit too high considering the potion size. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was comforting and cute.

Tried this place out for dessert today after lunch. The ambience is a 1000/10. It's So. Darn. Cute. The lighting and the deco are all spot on. The service was pretty great too. We got an Apple Pie which they seved with ice cream. It was pretty great. Perfect temperature and the pie filling and crust were great. With added service charge it was 1700/=, which I thought was pretty pricey for a slice of pie. Even their other slices of cake were quite pricey. They were all over 1100/=

The variety and novelty of the desserts are outstanding, with unique flavors and creative presentations that stand out. The staff is equally amazing, always welcoming and attentive, making the whole experience even more special. A must-visit spot for anyone with a sweet tooth or looking to enjoy a lovely dessert outing in Colombo!
