Cups and Bowls is a cozy spot perfect for hanging out with friends and family. Their Bingsu, especially the brownie and cheese flavours, is hands down the best in town! I also tried their Siracha chicken pita pockets, and they were packed with flavour and tender chicken. If you’re looking for a great place to enjoy delicious coffee, deserts, and tasty savoury options, I highly recommend this place!

Love, love love the place! The passion for what they are making is something inspirational. Love that they suggested me to try the Milo Dinosaur if I wanted to be nostalgic, went back to being a child eating Milo right out of the box. None of the dishes were a miss, all hit straight home! Chicken tenders were absolutely delicious.

A nice & cozy place to have a quick chat with your friends with wonderful food, tasty quick bites & drinks.. Bingsu (which is a Korean shaved ice dessert) is the center of attraction here and is a must try item. We liked the Biscoff Latte as well.. They also give us a sticker for every Bingsu ordered and after collecting a certain number of stickers you get discounts as well.

Food - The menu is small since it's just a new setup but trust me, you will LOVE the desert. Absolutely BOMB. We ordered french fries, a chicken starter and a desert to finish it up. Yummy seems less of a word to describe the taste. Loved it. Service - Good service, very professional and friendly and time taken was decent. Served with a smile and it was warm enough. Atmosphere - it's a small n cozy setup with 4 tables inside and one small table with two chairs outside. If you are a gang of 4 to 8 it's fine but anything larger would cramp up the place. This place can house at the max 12 people inside. They have small board and card games, books to read and nail polish for the women folks which they can play around with while hanging around. Overall a sweet n cozy experience with good food, good atmosphere and a lovely service experience. Desert is something you should try out without fail.
