I came here for an alumni event and, to my own fault, didn't realize until afterward that dogs are welcome—I must have missed that part when I checked out the reviews beforehand. Needless to say, my four-legged sidekick will absolutely be joining me next time.
The space itself is wonderful—roomy, stylish, and modern minimalist with charming doggy-themed decor throughout. Depending on the time of day and the weather, the natural lighting fills the space with a cozy, bright warmth that makes it perfect for either unwinding or getting into full laptop work mode. And honestly, anything canine related barks up the right tree for me, especially when it's for a good cause. The doggy dog world truly rocks my world.
I ordered a strawberries-and-cream drink and what I believe was a matcha cheesecake cupcake—I went back and forth between that and a peanut butter option, and I may have chosen wrong! The flavors didn't quite pop for me, though I'll partly blame my year-round allergies, which dull my sense of smell and take a slight edge off my sense of taste. I also didn't detect much cheesecake flavor. That said, the texture and mouthfeel were spot on, and neither the drink nor the cupcake was overly sweet—something I really appreciate. Asian cafés tend to have a lighter hand with sugar, which is a refreshing contrast to the overkill sweetness often found in American drinks and baked goods. I also loved having milk alternatives like almond and oat milk available, and the caffeine level in my drink was pleasantly mild—something I could easily enjoy on a regular basis.
One heads-up: Parking and finding the café itself can be a little confusing. I'd suggest going midmorning when the streets tend to be clearer and quieter, making parking much easier to navigate.
Overall, it's a delightful spot with good vibes, a dog-friendly atmosphere, and a thoughtful menu. I'll be back—and this time, I'm bringing my dog.

Love the cafe and the fur babies walking around. The Korean sweet treats might be the best thing I’ve ever had!! Definitely heading back for more coffee and pastries.

I like to order plain lattes in new places I go to to really know if the coffee is good or not. This coffee was bad. I basically only tasted the mik. Totally hipster spot. I guess I wasn't hipster enough because the customer service sucked for me, but they were very helpful to the person in front of me getting those sweet drinks.

Ordered: Melon Matcha & Banana Pudding Latte
Their drinks are so amazing. Their foam is so full of flavor! We really want to come back to try the other drinks. The pastries were okay, a bit dense for our liking but still yummy.

So glad a friend recommended this place. Super dog friendly, they have dog treats, pup cups, etc. Walkable area, friendly staff, delicious interesting little pastries, amazing drinks!! Wish the seating was a bit more comfortable/homie, and more hot drink options. Thats me digging deep for constructive critique though! We’ve tried the banana pudding matcha (creamy, well balanced sweetness doesn’t taste like any artificial sweeteners), and the double matcha (light sweetness). I spent some time in Japan, and would say so far this is the best matcha in the area for sure.

Went on a Saturday afternoon cafe was mostly full with people sitting at table but we were the only ones ordering at the time. Staff varies from simply polite to nice and friendly. They gave us our baked goods immediately upon purchase and we got our 4 drinks in less than 10 minutes. The regular matcha is good but I recommend the double matcha, it has a stronger matcha taste and has a thicker consistency. The double pumpkin latte was good and the hojicha latte was ok. The korean yam latte was ok. The matcha Japanese cheesecake and pumpkin cream cheese muffin were ok. Parking is not easy to find depending what time of day and day you go.

Very cool atmosphere. My first experience was the worship night which was very unique! I love how creative they are with their menu and that each visit has been a fun experience whether it was a pop up market or just a chill Saturday cafe vibe.
