  • 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.
