    • Shane M. ★★★★★ Yes they had coffee. And cold sodas and Nigerian food. But most menu items - they did not have, eg. Parfait. So it was disappointing. But it is modern and tidy inside. Shane (New Zealand / Australia)
    • tessy E ★★★★ It's a little café.....very student friendly🙂 I wanted a smoothie but it took a tiny bit of time so i opted for a bottle of Fanta, some puffpuffs and some muffins Mine oo mine🤩if you are a lover of puffpuffs i guarantee you, you will be getting double portions cos i did! Staffs are great...Oboko attended to me...seems to me like he knows what his doing and wants the absolute best for the Company and Customers. Good choice for a staff👍

    • Kingsley E. ★★★★★ This is the best place in South-South to have Ice Cream. The product is simply the best. The service you get from the staff is the only of its kind; those guys are amazing. Thank you, Alyce Ice. Best place.
    • Elizabeth E. ★★★★ They have really amazing ice-cream. Very creamy texture, and amazing taste. They have nice staff behaviour, and good customer service. However, I hate the fact they always want impose toppings on people. I love plain ice-cream, without any toppings, so it's very annoying. If you're buying here, be sure to tell them you don't want toppings, very clearly, and emphatically, or you just may find yourself paying for toppings you didn't ask for, like whatever unwanted toppings were added to my ice-cream in the picture, that stressed the living daylights out of my poor teeth.

    • Uche N. ★★★★ Very unserious people. The lady who is supposed to be the Manager I guess could not be bothered to engage with customers, appeared rude and condescending, the waiter did not know what was on the menu or if they could make it.....and worst bit, despite the restaurant being empty a few minutes past 11.00am, they insisted they had closed the breakfast menu. Very unprofessional staff. Owners need to train their people in hospitality.
    • Isaac J. ★★★★ I was excited to visit Beuberyy based on a recommendation from a friend, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. After being directed to the wrong location on Google Maps and making several calls to get proper directions, we finally arrived at 11:19am, only to be told that breakfast had ended at 11:00am. While I understand cut-off times, the restaurant was empty at the time, so it was surprising that no flexibility was offered, especially for a group of four ready to order. What was more concerning was the attitude of the staff member on duty. She seemed completely uninterested, more focused on her lollipop than assisting four paying customers. There was no attempt at accommodation or even basic warmth. I hope management takes this feedback into consideration, as first impressions are important.

    • Rosemary A. ★★★★ I visited this café yesterday because I had a scheduled virtual interview. Before starting, I informed two staff members that I had an interview by 2:00 pm and that it would last about 45 minutes. During the interview, while I was speaking, another staff member repeatedly interrupted me to ask how long my call would last. Even after I quietly explained that I was in an interview, the interruptions continued, which was distracting and uncomfortable. I understand cafés are shared spaces, but basic professionalism and situational awareness from staff are important, especially when customers communicate their needs in advance. I hope management can address this going forward.
    • esther C. ★★★★★ Nice ambience, great hospitality from the staff and the taste of their parfait is 😘😘
