One of my favourite local cafes, Amarti is always a good bet for some good coffee. Nonetheless, even with my familiarity of this spot, I had to go back and give it a formal review. It's always a very cozy, inviting atmosphere when you enter the doors of Amarti. While it's usually a very busy …

Boasting a 4.4 star rating on Google, I had high hopes from the moment I set foot in Clik. Overall, they did not disappoint. While my main focus was …
