The aroma of the croissant is enticing, the orange juice is refreshing, and the combination of the iced caramel with sweet amaretto is surprising. Overall, the meal is satisfying.
The atmosphere of the Italian café is unique; dining while standing at the bar on the first floor is very cool, and the window seats on the second floor have plenty of sunlight, making them suitable for work or relaxation.
The service staff are friendly and provide clear information, making it easy for customers to choose drinks and seating.
This Italian café is perfect for having coffee and desserts. When I first pushed the door open and saw the standing bar on the first floor, I thought it was really cool. Later, I found out that such setups seem to be common in Italian cafés.
The second floor has a row of seats near the window. If you like sunshine, you can sit here and enjoy the sunlight outside, which I think is quite nice. Every seat has a power outlet and there is WiFi, so it's no problem to work on your computer here. (And the croissants smell amazing when they come out of the oven; the main dishes ordered by other customers also look very delicious!)
📌 No reservations required
📌 Prices at the first floor bar/takeout are different from the prices for seating on the second floor

🍹 Orange Juice (Second floor seating price $65)
I went twice. The first time, I ordered an orange juice since I wanted a refreshing and sweet drink, and I gulped down more than half a glass in one go.
☕️ Iced Carretto + Sweet Almond Liqueur (Second floor seating price $95)
Carretto seems to mean corrected or proper coffee—it's a combination of Italian espresso and liquor. The first sip, aside from the bubbles on top, had a strong flavor from the sweet almond liqueur; after letting it sit for a while before drinking again, the sweetness of the almond liqueur, the liquor, and the bitterness of the espresso slowly blended together, surprisingly making this combination quite smooth and tasty.
(⚠️ Don't drink and drive; if you drink, don't drive.)
It’s a very crowded coffee shop nearby.
The boss went to Italy specifically to learn
The store has two floors, and the second floor is the seating area.
The first floor is the main sales space and standing area
Some people finish a cup of Italian coffee and leave
Of course, the fees for the aforementioned two blocks are also different.
The standing area is usually about 20 yuan cheaper than the seating area.
(In terms of low-cost drinks in the store, there is no food)
Custard flavored croissant
Actually, I originally focused on the pistachio jam flavor.
But it’s a pity that it wasn’t sold that day. I really want to try it.
But the custard flavor sauce is very filling
There's still a bit of a pulpy texture when you bite into it.
Iced cocoa
Basically I ordered it just to enjoy the atmosphere inside the store.
But I didn’t know he squeezed out too much fresh cream.
After blending the whole thing, it still feels a bit too greasy.
I think it would be more suitable to order a fruit tea next time
