- Nomo Nomo was disappointing to say the least so we headed back to our usual spot.
- As expected, there was a line up but we got in pretty quickly due to how late it was.
- Friendly servers, chill vibes and we knew the drinks were going to be on point!
- But be sure we will be as critical of the offerings as in every other place

Café Negroni (Left)
- We love how heavy this cocktail feel and tasted like a cup of Vietnamese coffee.
- Funny take on the drip coffee but it really added little to none in terms of flavors.
Guava Mezcal Margarita (Right)
- Margarita can never go wrong.
- We like this guava version but not sure if it’s a must try.
Ginger Basil Sour (Left)
- The most bland cocktail we have ever tasted we bursted out laughing.
Signature Guava Lime (Right)
- Great flavor, a bit on the sweet side but we enjoyed it.
- If you want to taste more alcohol in your cocktails, don’t order this.
Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu
- Tasty tiramisu, we just cannot really taste the Hojicha.
