    Such a great experience from start to finish! While the cafe is small, it is decorated beautifully and though it was full by the time we finished our meal, it didn’t feel cramped or crowded at all. The service was superb, and we received a congratulatory card for our celebration. The food was also delicious: the avocado toast and eggs florentine were the popular dishes - everyone else around us got the same thing. Great portion. We also got the tea/coffee/juice option, so we had no shortage of drinks. I personally think the breakfast is a great value over the afternoon tea - we were full until dinner time! Overall, any Tiffany’s lover will enjoy this cafe. Happy I finally got to experience it!

    Meeting our son and his wife for a birthday dinner. Food and service were excellent. The tiramisu was the best I’ve eaten since our honeymoon in 1988. Will definitely visit again.

    Celebrated my birthday here and honestly I don’t think I could have chosen a better place. My family is very cultural and don’t care to have dinners out but Bocca lounge truly made it feel homely, offered drinks to cater to our taste. Very lovely welcoming atmosphere, I would definitely recommend coming here food was great drinks were fantastic but the atmosphere/ambiance TOP TIER.
