The brownies are absolutely amazing! I can't help but rave about them. Whenever I visit, I always make sure to order the brownies without fail. The milkshakes are also incredibly delicious, but the brownies steal the show. Unfortunately, I couldn't even take a photo to share because I devoured them so quickly!

The sandwiches were made with processed cheese and had a pink sauce, which was not enjoyable. The cappuccino tasted extremely unpleasant, resembling dirty water.
