"The servers were very attentive to me during my dinner. The food was so good, i had the pork and the tiramisu. tiramisu was one of the best i’ve had! But i think they need to improve on their cocktails. the signature drink i had was a bit too sweet and nothing special. The atmosphere is so good. Not much happens here on a Sunday night but still enjoyed my time here"

"At first, we got lost searching for the cafe. It really is called “Tagu” for a reason. Better to go there by taxi or car because there are dark areas due to lack of street lights. But the ambiance and interior of the cafe&bar tho, it was really nice. The customer service was great! Some of the servers will engage in a conversation. We’ll definitely come back to party here!"
