"Nice option for a Western-style breakfast in the heart of Surabaya City. The meals are reasonably priced—not too expensive. The vibe is good, but unfortunately, they only have a few tables, which can make it uncomfortable when there's a waiting list. The stairs to the second floor are very narrow, so it's not recommended for those with claustrophobia. Overall, everything is good!"
