The coffee was quite average in taste, and the cappuccino lacked latte art. The croissant, on the other hand, was much better. Despite a bustling atmosphere with plenty of customers, the service was just not that great.
There is also a bar inside.
Food is always fresh and tastes great. However, I always have issues with change either they "forget" to give me or its short, not every time but too often to raise my eyebrows

Good food, good coffee, great desserts. A nice place to unwind in Manda Hill. Highly recommended. I tried the Chicken burger which was a bit different. Fried boneless battered strips of chicken topped with coleslaw and sweet mayo was a very nice combination. The chips were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Highly recommended
A cafe style space at Manda hill with lovely atmosphere, good service, friendly staff and fresh and tasty food. I need to go back and try more of the breakfast meals on the menu. This outlet also serves alcohol and has a bakery for all its bread based meals. Don't you just love the smell of fresh bread 🍞. In a nutshell, nice space to relax.
Finally got to visit the new(and improved) mugg and bean at Manda Hill. After hearing that they opened again, I was expecting it to be as small as before with the same menu and atmosphere but it seems they put in a lot of effort to improve a lot of things including the menu which had so many more options available than they did before.
The atmosphere was calm and inviting. It was not too loud and it was definitely clean. The staff made sure that it was spotless even when some tables were empty, it looked exactly how it would look if they just opened in the morning and that was something that impressed me.
They have a bar section now, which is an addition that I was not expecting but it seems to be working for them as the bar area was not loud either. They played soft jazz music and the people there seemed to be enjoying their drinks as well(the bar closes at 22 with the rest of the restaurant).
The food was excellent! I was happy to hear that they have no time limit on when they serve their breakfast options from the menu, it can be served at any time of the day. I had the Zambian benedict which was sweet and savoury and it made for a good first meal of the day(slightly pricey though). For my sweet tooth, I had some blueberry cheesecake, which just melted in the mouth. It was such a satisfying meal.
The service was exceptional too. My waiter, Elvis, was efficient and helpful from the minute I walked in. He did not let me wait long for anything and made sure to be nearby in case I needed anything else. I was appreciative of the fact that he knew the menu well enough and advised on the many options that were available for me to try out.
A second visit is necessary, this time to see their bar area and have a better insight on it too!
