The menu features a variety of options, but it’s the banana cake that diners rave about, hailed as a must-try by multiple patrons. The rich, moist cake perfectly complements a cup of coffee, providing a delightful sweetness that lingers on the palate. A recent visitor, Trudy Yang, noted the “超級好吃的必點” (super delicious must-try) quality of the banana cake, and I couldn’t agree more.
