Tried this place out and honestly, loved it! The Baked Alaska was super good and surprisingly affordable. Fries were crispy and tasty too. What really stood out was the owner’s energy—very polite, welcoming, and full of positive vibes. Definitely a place I’d recommend for good dessert. This will be my ‘I know this place…’ place whenever someone craves dessert.

It's absolutely amazing!!!!! The food was delicious and the owner is very amiable. The chocolate shawarma and the baked Alaska were the items we had and each of them had a very unique but beautiful concept. The taste was excellent though some may find the baked Alaska a little too sweet. In short, it's a must try!!!!
