Coffee is delicious and I’m a coffee snob. Great pastries. Great outdoor indoor seating

Place is over hyped. Was disappointed with the selection. The place is very awkward, the way you order and then you have to go next door to sit down. Staff was unfriendly and not helpful. Bread was hard and there was nothing special about it.

A 7-dollar drink is this size when you order it with no ice. I offered to pay more to get my drink in regular size and just fill it with milk- they don’t have that option.
My significant other and I entered this shop with high expections, as we were excited to try out a Japanese bakery/café in D.C.! The shop also looked super adorbs on the inside and is nicely decorated.
Unfortunately, our jubilance was immediately destroyed by how shockingly rude and unhelpful the woman at the register was, treating us more like dirty nuisances than excited customers.
The matcha lemonade I got was subpar, watered down, and felt like it was made without even a speck of love.
Overall, would not recommend unless you like being treated like trash and okay drinks, then this place is a 5/5.

I was excited to try this place but had an unfortunate experience. The person working there was beyond unpleasant, just extremely rude and dismissive, even as me and my partner waited patiently for her to finish stocking things. We were also the only customers there. The drinks she made were also disappointing, but it was truly her attitude what shocked us the most. Much better places to enjoy in DC. Very unfortunate!

I guess I just got unlucky with what I choose. Considering the positive reviews. I got a hojicha latte which just tasted like heated up milk. A matcha white choco cookie and daifuku strawberry mochi. The cookie was overly sweet and I tasted like a sugar cookie. Couldn't tell any matcha was used. Worst was the daifuku. A big hard lump. Mochi texture should pull apart, sticky and chewy. This was a lump. I threw it away. I'm vastly disappointed and I shpuld have kept going to Rose Ave bakery like I'd planned

Wish it was good as advertised but it was a let down. Matcha strawberry was also just not up to par whatsoever nor the pastries. Customer service was stale and uninviting.

Their customer service could use some work and they might need to consider a better work flow. The curry pan was a little stale and the passionfruit pastry filling was way too sweet. The matcha was not whisked properly and it just tasted like milk.

The pastries can be a bit stale sometimes. Service is usually fine though I've definitely had a weird experience with the barista before. There is a cute little courtyard in the back that's really nice to hang out in.

I don't know what the person was going through but that costumer service was TRASH I'm sorry I walked in and walked out I didn't even get anything there. We asked the person if we could all go in the little order space and she just nodded her head and rolled her eyes (there was a sign that said 3 people at a time and we had 5 people) .The food looked pretty good but I didn't want anything from there because of that horrible aditude the girl got. And I'm sorry is I said anything wrong.

All of the baked goods here are exceptionally good. Much better than fresh baguette across the street.

Best croissants in the neighborhood, no contest. Perfectly flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. This is a counter service/walk up space, but it would be cute if they could expand a little and had a seating area in the cafe.
