This place is more of a dessert drink place rather than a coffee shop.
The tasting tray they use for their drink flight is not stable. They use cheap plastic cups for the $23 flight. The table in the middle by the plants is wobbly and after placing down the tray, one of the drinks tipped over. The manager Tram unfortunately did not want to remake the one drink that tipped. Oh well, my team and I won’t be back.

Our reason for coming here was their coffee flight! ☕️
My sister-in-law and I are avid coffee enthusiasts, so we dedicated an entire day to exploring new coffee spots we hadn’t tried before. The only thing we regret is not getting to try their “Bear Waffles” — we didn’t notice it on the menu until later!
Getting to sample four different coffees was such a treat, and honestly, I’ve never seen a flight that wasn’t for alcoholic drinks before —
So this was a fun twist. The vibe here is friendly and comforting, perfect for hanging out with family, friends, or even your coffee buddies (yes, that’s totally a thing!).
If you ever need a coffee buddy, invite me — I’d love to join your next outing! 🫰🏼
I liked the atmosphere, but their coffee was not good and it was too sweet, I didn’t like it at all.

Come here for the aesthetic.
Seating is often full and half the tables have outlets, which makes it a great place to get work done for a while or catch up with a friend. I wouldn't take a large group here to dine in, or plan to sit inside for longer than an hour or two. It's pretty inside, and the cups design and drink presentation are very pretty and thoughtful. There's wifi, a restroom, a handful of outlets, but it's moderately busy most of the time I've been in
Though the iced drinks are delicious, I have gotten less and less of it in my cup each time. Particularly the iced coffees and matcha einspanners are yummy, but even asking for less ice, I've opted to stick to the hot drinks lately because of what I see in my cup. For how much it is, and the local competition, I like this place best for quick study/work sessions, coffee, and treating a friend out

The place is nice and cozy and staff are friendly but they don't know how to make coffee, which is a shame. Just not very good coffee. Other drinks might be fine,but if you are calling your self a coffee house, it's important I get the coffee right. They seem to focus on esoteric concoctions rather than getting the basics of coffee right.

I got the banana bread matcha and it was probably the best matcha I’ve had in my entire life. Not to be absolutely dramatic, but it was life changing. Was it $8? Yes. Would I spend it again on this matcha? absolutely. I’m so picky when it comes to matcha and that was amazing. 10/10 will be bringing all of my friends here.

I have not been in the physical store but I have ordered DoorDash multiple times and I love their coffee!! Their coffee is really smooth, the right amount of sweetness and milky for me. I have gotten the Marble Latte each time with also adding Matcha foam to it sometimes. The Matcha taste like good quality matcha and not overly sweet. I also recommend their Banana Bread!! They also have pebbled ice - 10/10.

Vietnamese coffee seems to be the trend now. Definitely like the flavors. Don't like the calories though. They have a good selection here. Sometimes there's a bit of a wait as there is always a line here. I'm very glad that this business seems to be thriving here. As the previous business is here. Never stuck around. I will come back and give support.

Beautiful interior. Good vibes. Lots of seating but very full when I visited. Caramel corn latte was to die for. Notes on tables request customers to limit visits to 3 hours. Lovely spot. Would request cup lid to be more secure to cup.

Like it's good but bro what happen to like a quarter of my drink, this is freshly picked up
Update: the cups is confirmed a bit more full, tho I'm pretty sure it's just more ice, but this works since the flavor of the tea here is a bit more tart so over time the ice melt a bit and it taste even better. The tartness is not a bad thing tho, it's a breath of fresh air compared to other milktea places.
I also tried their banana cream matcha. Don't get their banana cream matcha. While I appreciate that the banana cream is made from actual banana and not just banana flavoring, it trips because similar to adding banana to a smoothie, banana is all you're gonna taste. The banana flavor is so overwhelming that any grassy earthy flavor of the matcha is gone. Honestly I should've expected this but I had a matcha with banana milk at camellia rd and the subtle banana worked so incredibly well with matcha that I had probably unrealistic expectations.
