The food was delicious, but I waited too long for it, the music was playing very loudly in the establishment and it was very noisy, and in order to go to the restroom and just wash your hands before eating, you need to go up the steps to another room.

I'm a bit skeptical because when I went, almost an hour before closing time, the cafe was completely empty and the staff was cleaning, which gave a strange atmosphere. The staff was however every friendly and nice.
I ordered the matcha with almond milk and lavender (Liquid Gold) and the lavender taste was so strong that it was not possible to say, except for the colour, that there was matcha in it.. so the drink was a bit of a disappointment.

The coffee is good. The owner is unpleasant. I'm a local and I've been coming here over the years and have always been offered a free drip coffee when I bought beans. But when I bought beans today and asked about the free coffee, the owner got super salty with me and said, "We don't do that here," and then tried to gaslight me that I'd been going to the Highland Park location (I've never been there.)
So instead of just being...
