"Went with my boyfriend today, we've grabbed some ice cream and it was crazy good, the waffle had the perfect crunch and didn't got soggy. Very generous with the ice cream balls and fair price, really nice interior and great stuff behind the counter, I'm pretty sure I'll be back here soon"

"Wonderful place, just what I look for in a bar. Lovely, but not super loud. A wide variety of drinking options, and very friendly staff. It can take a little time for you to get your drink during peak hours, though :)"
