A very unique, Korean-flavored inspired cafe! The injeolmi cake was very light and spongy, whereas the black sesame cake was super dense on the bottom and complimented by the soft cream on top. The madelines were very thick and the red velvet one had cream cheese filling inside. I also got the yakgwa latte, which tasted exactly like a sweet potato! The texture was thick too. Would recommend coming here for a special day, but everything is quite pricey!

I came here on a Sunday around 3PM. We got our drinks within 5 minutes of placing an order which was pretty quick. We got the earl grey bear latte and the dalgona latte. The drinks here are pretty good but a little strong. I'd recommend waiting for all the dalgona to melt so it's sweeter. The bear is frozen coffee so if you want your drink a bit stronger than wait for it to melt as well. We also got the butter scone but it was a bit dry. This cafe is so cute and the perfect study/hangout spot! I will definitely come back for the drinks and to try the cakes!

I stopped by here during lunch on a weekday. I ordered an earl grey madeleine, black sesame cake slice, and the Korean yam cake slice. The madeleine was soo good but the black sesame cake did not taste fresh. It was pretty hard. The icing was super good though. I thought the Korean yam one was okay. I was super excited to try this place for the longest time and was disappointed.

I love Korean style cakes so I was excited to try this bakery out. It did not disappoint!!! Pricing is about $7-$9 per slice but the flavors are so well done and I love the consistency of the cake. I tried the matcha redbean, Korean sweet potato cake, and corn cheesecake. All of them were solid and I can't wait to try more pieces!

The store is so cute and has a very minimalist design to it. It can be hard to spot given the location. We ordered two slices of cake and a dalgona latte. The cakes tasted absolutely amazing, the perfect level of sweet with a nice bite of freshness from the strawberry. The dalgona latte was just a very sweet regular latte (dalgona is just roasted sugar) but yummy nonetheless. Service was great! She was patient with us while we were deciding which I appreciate since it can be nerve wracking to choose as fast as you can. After we ordered a bunch of people came in but she was able to get through the line quickly even by herself. Cant wait to come back and try other drinks n sweet treats!! :D

-injeolmi cake, black sesame cake The injeolmi cake was very fluffy and had a subtle injeolmi flavor, not overbearing which i enjoyed. The black sesame had strong flavor, but would've preferred for a fluffier texture as the cake was pretty dense. -dalgona latte, cream latte Dalgona coffee was a bit too sweet for my liking. Cream latte was good although it felt like there was no sweetner added.
Had: Injeolmi Madeleine, Earl Grey Madeleine, Black Sesame Cheesecake, and Korean Coffee $5.25 for a madeleine, $8 for a slice of cheesecake. The madeleines were good though with a sizeable amount of filling and probably 1.5x the size of Costco's madeleines. The cheesecake wasn't heavy and the black sesame wasn't overpowering. The ambiance is very minimal and clean with I believe 2 tables for seating.

We ordered a birthday cake for my family. Packaging and everything looks beautiful but the cake. The actual cake part was so dense I thought it was still frozen. It was not frozen, the cake was just not good. It tasted like they made a mistake on the cake batter but instead of wasting that cake and remake. They used it and covered it up with their yummy cream. Not happy with this and most likely lost a customer.

small little dessert shop that has a very minimal interior. the drinks are good and the selection of desserts are plentiful. the cakes are not always available so come early.

Overhyped especially for their price point. I ordered the Matcha, earl grey and korean type( I forgot the name of it) Madeline and they all were really crumbly and left a film around my tongue that was unpleasant. It wasn't bad but for the price, I thought it'd be a lot better. Their cakes are really cute though!
