A decoração e o local são acolhedores. O acesso se dá por um porta que leva a uma escada para acesso a uma loja de chocolate e o restaurante é no segundo andar. A comida é saborosa, com variedade. O rodízio de founde é acessível a vegetarianos e com reposição a vontade. Os atendentes são atenciosos; o cardápio é por acesso a QR code disponibilizados na mesa. O único empecilho que encontrei foi na redação do cardápio, no qual constava a opção de founde que servia para duas pessoas e no final havia o preço com a escrita "por pessoa", o que não faz sentido visto que se serve duas pessoas o cliente pediria uma porção por casal.

Gostei muito! Recomendo muito o chocolate quente daqui, tem a textura mais densa e o sabor é equilibrado, percebe-se que foi pensado para não ser enjoativo. É muito bom mesmo. Para acompanhar pedi um pão de queijo com linguiça (tem vários tipos de recheios ou mesmo, sem recheio). Uma amiga pediu o café coado e de sobremesa tivemos o bolo búlgaro, achei pequeno, mas era gostoso. O atendimento foi bom, no tempo esperado. O local é limpo e possui uma parte para a venda de cervejas ouropretanas e também de chocolates da região.
