This café offers unique chocolate drinks. From creamy 28% White Chocolate to intense 100% Extra Dark, you can control the percentage of chocolate in your drinks from hot chocolates, iced chocolates, or milkshakes. Even better, you can add extra toppings and choose your milk.
I have visited this place, and I truly enjoyed it. It’s a great option if you like to control how much chocolate you want in your drink. What surprised me most was that the origin of the chocolate changes depending on the percentage. I even spotted chocolate from my home country, Peru, which made me feel nostalgic!

This Vietnamese restaurant has been in the spotlight since it opened. While they specialize in pho (Vietnamese noodle soup), they also serve curries, wok-fried noodles, and salads. Their starters are perfect for sharing, and they offer vegan and gluten-free options too.
I’ve eaten here, and it’s really good! I loved their fried rice and summer rolls. It was my first time at a Vietnamese restaurant, so I was a bit lost at first, but the staff guided me through the menu and recommended the best dish based on my preferences.
I would say that it’s a great experience to go try with friends- especially if you like spicy food.
