Was there yesterday night with a few friends. Really nicely decorated with oriental furnishings. Waitresses were really nice and attentive. Loads of cocktails to choose from, very unique and nicely done. My friend wasn't sure what to get for me and just told the bartender to do something with watermelon inside. So she just mixed it up and OMG, it was awesome. Of course, it wasn't in the menu.
They serve food there as well and though it is slightly more expensive than outside, it is good. Food were all served hot.
Overall, a very good place to chill with friends as there are quite alot of comfy seats and couches all around. It can get crowded and noisy as the night goes but not to the point where you are squeezing to trying to get past each other. Toilets are clean and big as well. Definitely will be going back again!

The manager at this outlet is really really good. Very polite, attentive and has a good service attitude. The other waiters/waitresses there are pretty ok, but as usual, there will always be that handfull of service staffs that ruins everything.
Dessert portions are generally larger than the other dessert stores along Swanston Street. Snow ice is a really big hit with the customers there cause the ice that they make are really soft and literally melts in your mouth.
Desserts tend to be sweeter than before but overall, a decent place to have asian dessert.

My 1st time in Sofia tonight. Really HUGE portions. We ordered this pasta thing where it has 3 pasta selections and is meant for 2 people but the 4 of us couldn't finish it! Their calamaris are good too. Can see that it's a favourite with the customers as they seem to be on every waiter/waitress hands when they exit the kitchen.
Can definitely improve on service though. Overall, most of the waiter/waitress are rather friendly except for this one guy. He was sulking the entire time we were there, not observant at all and seemed very unhappy to give us another bottle of water when ours finished.
We asked for another plate for our friend when she arrived later (Mr 'black' face had took the plate,knife and fork away) and he literally just gave us A plate, without the knife and fork. We had to help ourselves with the knife and the fork because obviously, we don't eat pasta with our fingers! We had to go look for our own takeaway containers as well as there was no around to ask.
Overall I guess it was alright.

I used to go to this one but now I frequent the outlet on swanston street. The manager in the swanston street outlet is really good! Very attentive, courteous and always very polite. The waitress/waiter on a whole are rather ok too. As usual, there will always be that handfull who just ruins everything.
Their servings are slightly larger than the other asian dessert stores along swanston street. Food are generally above average. A good place to frequent if you love eating snow-ice. Their ice are so fine and light they literally feel like snow! Their stuffs are sweeter now though..
Overall, a decent place to have asian desserts.

Ate there several times. Really friendly stuffs, very reasonably priced and the food served taste and looked pretty decent. Portion size was pretty big as well! Very popular with the students that are studying in the nearby RMIT and Mel university.

I'm not a fan of macaroons as I find them wayy too sweet but those that are sold in La Belle Miette are my absolute favourite. Not too sweet but not blend either. Lots of flavors to choose from as well. They can definitely improve on their service attitudes but ultimately, I'm just there for the macaroons so not much of an issue for me.
Love it!

I love their waffles!
I remenber the 1st time I had their waffle (maple syrup), I had maple syrup and icing sugar all over my hand and clothes. I was certainly not pleased with that, but the moment their delicious waffle comes into my mind, all is forgotten. Got my 2nd one today (nutella), it was awesome!!
Really good service! I'll be back again! ;)

Was here with a couple of friends for lunch yesterday. Compared to their dinner time, it actually was not crowded at all! The waitress that served us was really nice and attentive. Good knowledge on the food as well. However, it took a little too long for our food to be served despite a relatively empty restaurant. The food was rather good as well. Would definitely go back there again.
I needed a really good tailor to alter a dress that I was wearing to a ball, and after countless of researching, I decided on Circe tailoring. I needed the dress to become tighter and shorter. The guy who attended to me was rather nice. Collected my dress a week later and they did a good job! A little pricey but I guess you can't really put a price on quality.Good job!

I frequent cacao green for my froyo needs as their locations are pretty convinent (2 in the city area). The froyos are generally good and the toppings are pretty good too. I tasted better froyo here in melbourne but these all tend to be out of the city area. The only downside is that the amount of froyo and topping you get depends on who is serving you. Some tend to give abit more generously, others not so. The prices are relatively high too but I guess it's ok if you eat it occasionally.
Besides the froyo, I love their waffles and hot chocolate too. You get to choose what percantage of cocoa you want for the hot chocolate. I always go for the 75%! Bittersweet taste with every sip.
