Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A pineapple and coconut cake that dreams are made of. We ordered the cake 5 days before our wedding and it was made so perfectly I couldn’t have asked for anything better. It exceeded all my expectations and our guests were raving about it for days.

We popped in for coffee on a Thursday afternoon, and were well looked-after by the delightful Conor. My flat white was sublime, easily as good if not better than my favourite coffee shops back home in New Zealand. My husband said his affogato was the best he's ever tasted. We chose a tiramisu cupcake to share from the amazing and imaginative selection of treats on offer - equally delicious. Highly recommended.

I wanted to try this cafe when I read the great reviews. I must say, they were not lying. If you are in Apia, put this place on your check list.
This is a modern cafe at a great location. The staff were friendly and accommodating. They had provided kids toys for my son to keep him busy. They serve pastries, sandwiches, salads, hot meals, smoothies, and beverages for breakfast and lunch. The food was delicious, smoothie was refreshing, and the coffee was great.
When my family and I entered the cafe, we were warmly greeted, and this set the tone to our experience.

Nice spot, air conditioned, in the heart of Apia the Capital Business district. Coffee not bad, went twice, first time was good, second time coffee was a hit and miss (very expensive). Scone I had was rock hard and I suspect it was left over from the day before, I tried the cake next timeI went and it was quite bland and dry. After discovering Apia more, there are other better cafes for coffee and pastries, cheaper then this place. Would go back only for coffee but over all found it expensive. Staff very friendly but you had to wave them down to get service........lady manager very nice and friendly.

We had an amazing breakfast here.
The coffee was great and the cabinet was full of delicious treats that would not be out of place in any of the top restaurant’s anywhere in the world.
Service was great and all staff has smiles and were very happy to help.

The service was great, as a couple who use sign language the young waiter was excellent and knew some sign language even though he had forgotten some he made a great effort to communicate with us. It was nice to feel welcomed. Also we were looking for good coffee and this was the place.

This coffee place has been one of the best places that dealt with customer accidents in the most gracious and beautiful way. I can't explain in details what happened with a palagi mate of mine, but oh boy, the boss or owner wasn't even disturbed or offended by it. She showed so much compassion and care in such a way any cafe owners wouldn't have been able to deal with such a mess. Thanks for being such an angel having the courage to still encourage the poor lady regardless of the situation. Thanks for having a heart of gold. God bless you and may your business flourish and that many customers will continue to enjoy your coffee and your service 👏👏👏👏😍❤️🥰🤩

We went for Milani Caffe with very empty stomachs after rocking on the ferry from S’avaii for almost 2 hours. The coffees were spot on (that means a lot coming from a melbournian…). I ordered a pasta but asked for a kid’s size due to my small appetite, and I was totally catered for. The food is brilliant, hit the spot. We left the cafe with very happy yet not bloated stomachs.

This is a real gem of a place. An oasis where you can have a top quality coffee and delicious cakes in a warm and cozy environment. Love the place and the kindness of the staff! As long as I am in Apia my breakfast place is this one!

We stopped by here for a morning tea break, it's right in town at the end if a pedestrian walkway. It was a very pleasant experience. Our coffee was just as we wanted and the variety of cakes was impressive - all made on the premises. Service was excellent.

Located along Convent Street and the Mall walk through. The Cafe is a sister outlet of the Paddles Restaurant so you know it's going to be good.
Went for brunch and had the chicken wrap. It was good paired with the fresh lemonade. They have other options available as well as cakes and pastries too!
Worth a visit while in town.

I didn't expect to find Lavazza coffee here and yet... I've had cappuccino and espresso several times and they've always served it perfect. Too bad it's open until after lunch. Super inviting dessert showcase, excellent brioches. Prices a little high but worth it

A superb place for breakfast, lunch, morning snack or afternoon snack.
The staff are extremely helpful and the food is delicious.
Warning; the breakfast omelette is huge but great tasting. Don’t think it’s going to be a little snack but it’s well worth it.
Oh and the staff will help you up and down the steps which is really good.
Simply give the place a try, you’ll love it.

Food and services is absolutely incredible! Good coffee also!
Sad to fitness how the owner/manager speaks to her staff both times we visited. Really sad to hear as the staff were already giving impeccable if not the best service we had experienced on this trip.
