A quiet, relaxed spot popular with people working on laptops, especially appreciated for tiramisu and cakes. However, staff friendliness is inconsistent; multiple reviewers reported rude or dismissive behaviour, and slow service has delayed orders by up to an hour.

Hometown Hainan draws regulars with reliable coffee, authentic Hainan dishes (chicken chop, bread, tea), and a plants-filled space that works for both casual hangouts and business chats.

The Lemon Tree draws crowds for its bright, airy dome design and lemon-themed decor, but experiences point to a steep quality gap between ambiance and kitchen output. Drinks and pastries are solid when fresh, yet mains often disappoint (bland sauce, overcooked eggs, fishy fish), and staff courtesy varies wildly from warm to dismissive depending on time of day and crowd levels.
