The food as always beautifully presented and absolutely yummy. We brought our friends with us tonight and we were not disappointed! Everyone left happy and full.”

They allowed us to get there early to set up decorations and offered to help set up too. The afternoon tea was amazing and everything was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend Papillon Coffee House for any event, especially a baby shower. The ambiance, service, and attention to detail made it a really special day for the mum-to-be and all the guests. Will definitely be back in the future!”
