I got the unsweetened peach drink and it was refreshing! I loved the outdoor vibes and most people were actually doing work there.

I don't usually get drinks like this, but the Tiramisu Latte (iced only) is sooooooo good. Delicious flavor on the cream top, just the right amount of sweetness, lovely texture. All around, a solid drink. I normally ask for half sweet on drinks that have sweetener in them but I didn't do that here and it's perfect. I would come back to try other things in the future, for sure! The people behind the counter were very helpful, friendly and fast! The space is cute, clean, simple. They have art up on the walls for sale and a Polaroid board of all the dogs that visit, so if you have yours with you, let them know, so your buddy can be added to the wall! There is a covered and shaded patio section with water features and plants...nice spot to chill and not feel like you're right in the middle of the big city! A nice spot to relax, work, or hang out with friends. It is small, but comfortable. They are in a plaza so there is even a parking lot! It's small but we had no trouble finding a space at 4:30p on a weekday. Will definitely return!

this is a buying a drink so that you can use the bathroom kind of place but instead of a bathroom the incentive is a beautifully lit area lush with flora (there is a bathroom too). it is ripe for locking in with outlets all around. pretty loud with the traffic nearby though, make sure to bring headphones and a layer because it can get chilly. the tiramisu latte we got was fine.

This is a great place to get a simple but delicious comfort breakfast. I had a nice bagel with cream cheese and a matcha latte. The bagel had the perfect squish with a crunchy outside. I'm a true carb lover so take my word for it...it's a great bagel.The service was also quick and quite helpful. They were able to tell me about their tea selection and offered good recommendations on what add ins would pair well.There is also a modest outdoor area for you to sit and chat with friends. The decor for the seating area is quaint, but gets the job done. All in all, is a fine and cost friendly place to grab a quick bite and a coffee with friends.Dietary restrictions: The offer multiple lactose free milk options here.

I ordered on Postmates an horchata latte. It tasted like straight up milk and sugar, no trace of coffee. I opened the cup and no signs of expresso. Will not be ordering here again.

Limited seating. Service is very slow -- so slow that they forgot to make my friend's drink and she had to go remind them after about 10 minutes, despite it not being busy. The drinks are also notably small -- but they're tasty. The outdoor area isn't as nice as it looks in photos, and it can get a little chilly back there because there's no sunlight. But it does have more seating than in the cafe, which is a lot cuter. An okay spot, probably better to meet up with someone for a chat than to sit and get work done for a couple hours.

I ordered an iced tiramisu latte. Didn't really taste like tiramisu but the cold foam was good! It is quite pricey for a latte so it is a treat yourself type of drink lol. The vibe was chill.

If all ur drinks are 6.50 at least have an option for less expensive drip coffee.

I tried their hibiscus tea and had it sweetened. It was refreshing. Their outdoor space is enclosed, filled with plants and allows you to feel both in and out of the city. A great space to read, work, or just be. All items on the menu are also reasonably priced.

Excellent offerings of coffee, matcha and a good selection of other teas in Koreatown. Nice clean space in a strip mall with an enclosed garden space in the back with plenty of tables. They also have good bagels. Great baristas as well

Tiramisu is 10/10!!!! Omg the perfect amount of sweetness. I got decaf which some places it tastes so bad but this was great coffee. The baristas are super nice!!! And the outdoor area had a lot of plugs if you want to come and work. They have bagels and pastries if you need a snack.

Tasty drinks, a good bit of seating outside with reliable WiFi. The outside seating is quaint and cute. Solid choice to work or stop by.

Nice pleasant minimal little coffee place with lovely adjacent garden area. Good parking off western which is always a plus. Everything wooden so not comfy. Typical drink menu. Staff is somewhat withdrawn, lacks customer service skills that go beyond basic. No offering to warm your croissant, as an example. No smiling. So I can't say great but I can't say bad. Fair. Reading other reviews, I see it has changed hands. Makes sense. Used to be the most lovely, attentive staff. Now really not pleasant. Just there.

Thank you for the excellent matcha latte!
