Cute little spot, probably the best (only?) coffee shop in the center. Brownie was very tasty

Really nice place "fashion style" with really good western style cakes: Brownies, muffin, apple pie... Good hot chocolate, lassi etc. One small complaint: they have black tea, they have milk, but they don't whant to serve chaï! (Tea with milk). Probably cause it's too cheap to serve compare to the others drinks. Nice lounge music also.
