Located inside the Stadthuys (but walk around to reach another staircase and you will find it), it is a humble cafe with outdoor and limited indoor seating. The views are nice, the coffee is okay. Foods are okay too. Just feeling that indoor can be more organised so that more space can be utilized and can fit more indoor seating then.

We stopped here for a coffee this morning and decided to try a croissant. We had the egg one and it was fantastic. After such a good coffee and croissant experience we decided on something a little different… The Peppermint mocha pictured is the result! Wow absolutely phenomenal drink. Definitely be back.

Nice & cozy place inside the museum of Stadthuys. Coffee, tea, salad, pastry. All are delicious. Even the place is not too big, but still OK.
