"First place in a while with very good hygiene in response to the pandemic... the staff had masks on all the time."
"What a great experience it has been! Not only everything was smooth and clean... the desserts were splendid!!!"
Cons:
"We saw the person behind the counter wiping their face around their mouth and nose with their fingers and then using the same fingers to push ice cream off the scoop."
"Make sure glasses are being thoroughly cleaned and sanitised through a machine. Witnessed a staff member by the sink rinsing out a glass with just water."
"I ordered a tiramisu and it was nothing like the layered dessert we’re all used to. I was served two ladyfingers that were drowned in hot coffee and cream in a cup."
