Place| I loved it here, I saw it and wanted to go inside straight away, pretty pink, stunning and very Instagramable. The decoration is so extra and very girly, totally adorable The atmosphere is FABULOUS and they play great music Food & Drinks| Crepe - 4.50€ Very chewy but edible Chocolat chaud 2.90€ If you like chocolate , this is for you One slice of rainbow cake 4.90€ The cake was a little dry and flavour wasn’t too our liking Waffles - was really nice Staff| Ok but looked like she really didn’t want to be there which kinda takes away the life out of a gorgeous place. When we were leaving there was two ladies that walked in and they thanked us for being there and had big smiles on their faces which was great Overall| It’s a wonderful spot, giving out lots of girly vibes and I would for sure come here again and have coffee with my girls Location| 7 Av.

I was pretty thirsty and I was craving a banana Nutella milkshake, they had both of them separately but the young lady told me she could make one with both for me :) They were very nice and the milkshake was delicious!
