Verkkokauppatilaus sujui helposti ja saimme valtavan hyvät herkut syntymäpäiväjuhlille. Maistelimme sekä kasvis- että lohiveileipäkakkua gluteenittomana. Makeista pidimme erityisesti valkosuklaa-mustaherukkakakusta (gluteeniton) ja Makiatan suklaakakusta. 15 hengen kakut olivat mielestämme todella reilun kokoisia, ja ns. täyttä tavaraa. Suosittelen lämpimästi :)

Tilattiin Makiatasta tarjoomukset ylioppilasjuhliin ja kyllä kannatti! Croissantit, suolaiset piirakat ja täytekakut erinomaisia. Suosittelen +++

Todella hyvä aamiainen sekä mukava palvelu. Pöytiä voisi olla lisää tai ne voisi olla isommat. Avautumisen aikaan oli hieman ruuhkaa.

Lovely little café in north Haaga with delicious cakes and good coffee. They also have cookies and crackers that you can take away. The barista is super nice too, highly recommend this place if you are in the area,
