The croissants, cookies, cakes, lemon tartlets, and chocolate desserts were some of my favorites. Other cruisers also speak highly of the carrot cake, berry tartlets, and Nutella croissants.
The specialty coffees, cappuccinos, lattes, espresso, and teas were another highlight for me. Recent cruisers have also shared good feedback about drinks such as the pistachio latte and iced chai. I found the staff friendly and helpful during my visits, even when the café was busy.
