Jun H.Jun Heng: MUST TRY: pork burger, house Benedict. I also had the breakfast tortilla and Loved the taste of the chorizo scrambled eggs in it. The soft shell crab is also good except for the sesame crackers.

Lars G.Lars Ginnerup: Great cafe - well made coffees, and tasty food. A lot on the menu sounds very interesting, but I went for the simpler breakfast choice. But amazing options as well, if you wanna be more adventurous.
