They still maintaining the lifestyle concept store – carrying some of the local brand and products.

One Half - the space

Both interior and exterior area are simple, minimal and nicely organized. Outdoor seating is having open space with natural light and natural air. It is well equips with hanging fan but we did not attempt to sit there. We thought it could be stuffy after a cup of hot coffee.

Meanwhile, the air conditioned area is more comfortable and patron can opt for front seating or the counters seats closer to the baristas.

One Half - The food

Pastries and more pastries – croissants, Danish pastries, cinnamon buns and more.

We ordered Danish berries and Sourdough Ruben Sandwich, while drinks we had americano and latte.

Danish Berries, it was sweet and flaky, however it complement well with americano. Bitterness and sweetness neutralized each others.

As for the Sourdough Reuben sandwich; the serving was good for sharing (for two). It was served with generous amount of ham, cheese followed by sauerkraut and its dressing, not forgetting, the pickled tiny cucumber. It was indeed a filling breakie for two.

We were recommended with one of their signature coffeebean. Can’t remember the name but the sourness and bitterness were just balanced and it was good and strong taste.

The other half area of OH is still maintains as its lifestyle store, carrying some of the local brands and design products and merchandises such as cutlery, clothing, scented candles.

The space is already with character before and the characters got enhanced after the renovation.
