The interior is nice, it’s clean inside, and there’s parking, that’s definitely a plus.

Now, the coffee… it was extremely mediocre. Very watery, with no actual coffee flavor. It honestly tasted more like overheated milk with foam than coffee.

From the desserts, I tried a donut. It was basically the same as Krispy Kreme, but for $8… okay, maybe. The real problem is that because the desserts are stored next to other foods or some kind of cream cheese (you really should read about proper food storage), the donut picked up a smell of onion or garlic 😅 This was hands down the worst $8 dessert I’ve ever had.

I’ve been drinking coffee in different places for the past 20 years, fancy cafés, simple ones, even small hidden coffee spots and I honestly can’t remember another time when I was this unlucky with both the coffee and the dessert. At these prices, it’s definitely overpriced, even if the donut didn’t smell like onions.

has swiftly become one of my favorite matcha spots. i really love the variety of drinks and so far ive had the matcha einspanner, choco matcha, and the strawberry yogurt smoothie, i believe i also tried a lavender matcha and all in all i really love how their matcha taste doesnt get overpowered by the cream top or other flavors in the drink, which is rlly important to me and honestly kinda hard to find🫩. the workers are always kind, id highly recommend:))

8 dollar coffee for 90% ice. Nice! Interior is also completely falling apart and you can't bring outside drinks in.

drinks are okay. dalgona latte was good. the ready to go pastries sell out by the time it’s night. people hype this place too much. just know the stools are short if you bring work to do. since the tables are always taken. the ambiance is more of a lounge. loud convos and loud music if you like that sort of thing.

What do you think about this iced cocoa for $10? I swear I’m a fan of this shop, but this time it’s the most disappointing experience ever. I’ve told them several times about the changing taste of the cocoa. Maybe it’s because there are many different staff members making it, but shouldn’t the recipe be consistent? I’m not sure if spending $10 on a single drink is worth it anymore. The drink is never full, and the taste is inconsistent. Is this taking advantage of customers? As someone who loves their drinks, I might need to reconsider my own preferences again.

Latina Mother here and I was first to order in the empty cafe two more ppl order after me. Third person was a friend of the cashier/barista and decided to do her drink first after waiting 10mins already another 15 for a latte. This is my second time here. First time was a little uncomfortable because the cashier didnt want to answer questions bout coffee I wanted. I wouldn't recommend it. The atmosphere isn't it. But if u needed a coffee to go I guess it wouldn't be so bad

Got the tiramisu bingsu yesterday and it was really good. I usually have to add lots of condensed milk to it; they only gave me a little bit on the side and I already felt it was perfect before finishing that. They have two sizes here.

They have their own parking lot in the back, just enter through the side street. They have a great selection of drinks, food and dessert. A separate kitchen where they make the food across the main store. Didn't expect my kimchi fries rice to come in a spinach wrap but it was pretty good anyway.

Indoor and outdoor seating is available.

Love this spot for a nice matcha. The rose one is great and subtle. Staff is kind and quick. Could definitely spend an afternoon here.

I really wanted to come. in the end I find it very sweet and nauseating because of the whipped cream (when you have a drink without milk it doesn't make sense to add whipped cream) 15.5 per croffle it's very expensive too bad

I brought my grandma, mom, and aunt here and they loved it. I made my grandma and aunt try the strawberry matcha for the first time and they liked it I’ve been here before so I recommended it to them, will come back here soon!
