Loved this place. I really appreciate when coffee shops offer fun drink options that don’t have coffee. I ordered the banana pudding matcha and it was so good. The topping was delicious and mixed perfectly with the matcha, which wasn’t overly sweet. It’s a small spot, but it’s in a great location and definitely worth stopping by.

I am very pleased with this coffee shop. I went during the weekend of dia de Los muertos and I loved that they celebrated it by handing out free flowers for deceased loved ones. I don’t remember the wait being long but their coffee was really good & strong! It climbed up to be one of my favorite coffee shops. My friend & I still talk about coming back!!

Loved!!!! Got the popular Banana Cream iced Matcha. Friend got an iced regular matcha with oatmilk. I am picky about the taste and texture of my matchas… and these hit the spot! The girls here know how to serve your preferences, whether you like sweeter or earthier-tasting matchas.
After sitting and sipping outside for a while, One of the girls working at the time told us she was giving us a free matcha!!! She wanted us to try a strawberry iced matcha with their new honey cold foam on top… it was an interesting taste profile, but delicious. and I am still thinking about it!!! :)
If i am to come back here, I probably wouldn’t come here to do work because the music is pretty loud… just come to sip on matchas and yap with friends!!

As someone who likes sweet drinks, I really liked this place! I heard a lot about the banana pudding matcha so I tried that first. It was pretty good, sweet and so yummy. I saw some people criticizing the sweetness and milkiness of the matcha here, but honestly it seems like the quality of the matcha is good. Maybe not the best in the world but it works. For this particular drink you could definitely taste both the pudding and the matcha. It was like the perfect blend.
I also tried the salmon toast, it was good but I felt like it was too salty. The quality of the bread and the garnishes kinda made up for it though. I never would’ve thought to try something like salmon toast, it had like radishes, avocado and other toppings which were so refreshing. I highly recommend it!
Later I tried the carrot cake latte, I was amazed by the first sip 😭 whatever beans they use are soooooo good. I was curious to see how a latte could be carrot cake flavored, and well it is pretty delicious. The latte is sweet. Definitely feels strong though. So I would recommend their lattes to anyone that likes strong espresso! I can totally see it working well in a mocha.
The specialty drinks are kinda pricey but it makes sense because in my opinion they are gourmet. The presentation is 10/10. I’m excited to see what other flavors they come up with! I think it’s a good idea to come here if you want a fancy sweet drink on a calm day.
Also it is a small cafe inside but there’s outdoor seating! And the couple of times I’ve been there they played Spanish rock which is pretty cool :)

This place has really shot up to the top for me! Aside from their amazing drinks, the vibes are just right! The staff is so incredibly friendly and helpful! I’ve tried the matcha both regular matcha and the pumpkin spice matcha both delicious. My husband loves their coffee and he’s pretty picky so that says a lot!

This place is known for their flavored Matchas varying in sweetness. From Honey Cream to banana puddin to strawberry and many more. They also have the regular cafe drinks but I've only tried the matcha so far.
I tried the Honey cream matcha ( See photo) and boy is it creamy. It's on the unsweetened side, most of the sweetness comes from the cream. If you want more sweetness just ask.
They have a drink sweetness meter so it's easy to decide, if you do wanna add a Lil bit sweetness, just ask ♡
I'll he back to try the food and treats 😋

My second favorite matcha place to go to! Their banana matcha is a must :)
A gem! Wasn’t looking but glad we found this Cafe. Drinks were amazing, Aztec Mocha and Lavender Vanilla Matcha! Food and pastries are a most. Diego and staff are super friendly and helpful! Hung out for almost an hour and everyone that came in left super happy! Nice sitting area outside with music.
thank you!!!

i really try to judge a matcha place based on their original matcha latte, maybe the flavored ones are better. the matcha wasn’t really strong enough for my liking, it was too milky, foam came out as super bubbly instead of a creamy texture. i like the service, they lay out your sweetener options. cold brew was strong and decent

Such a cute shop, great vibes, wonderful spot to dine and enjoy the company of friends/loved ones. They have an extensive menu considering they their primary focus is a coffee shop. The staff were very kind! Very upbeat and working really hard as they were very busy. The downside, and not as big of a downside depending on your time commitments, is that others expressed that it takes quite a bit of time to get your food/drink. I experienced this as well, but I was in no rush so I didn't mind. I ordered the tuna sandwich and was a bit disappointed by the taste. It was very salty and I LOVE salt. I ended up eating only half the sandwich because it was too salty. I did add a water cup and their water tasted good. Now I can totally understand that this happens from time to time for all of us. It's easy to do. I would definitely try them out again, just because the ambiance/vibe/cute seating would drive me back.
