This place was super cute! I loved the seating situation and the menu.I happened to come in when bacon had just been placed on the grill for another customer’s order. There didn’t seem to be any ventilation for the grill, and by the time I left about 30 minutes later the place smelled very strongly of bacon along with my hair and clothes. Granted I’m a vegetarian and more sensitive to smell than the average person, I just wanted to put it out there!

I’m sorry but that drip coffee was quite bad. Gotta get those ratios right! Ouch.

Idk if the turtle is sipping because they think it makes them look cute, or because they just aren't enjoying their drink that much. If it's like my experience, it was probably a bit of both. This place is genuinely adorable; the perfect hangout spot if you are going for vibes, because let's be honest, turtles, plants, and a pastel palette is immaculate. The baristas were also the kindest and absolutely serving with their outfits. You can tell that aesthetics are important here. The food and drink is unfortunately super mid, and as much as I want to recommend this place, unless you are ready to go and get guilt tripped for hanging out without buying anything, this is not the spot. That said, I feel like a spot that puts this much effort into their vibe is capable of upping their game, so I'm ready to try it again if I'm in the area!

Every time I've been here, I've been able to get a table easily. And the service and drinks are great.

Cozy spot with a number of different seating options, wifi, and outlets; drinks were good, food is okay.We got the black assam milk tea and an americano; the milk tea didn't really have a strong tea flavor, but it was a nice sweet treat and the boba had a good consistency.I also ordered the pork belly banh mi.It wasn't layered well on the ciabatta (instead of baguette); the ingredients were placed in lines down the length of the bread. This made for either a mouth full of the meat or bite of just veggies, with inexplicable added tomato. The sauce/marinade was salty and a bit overwhelming for the sandwich.

I ordered the matcha and it was the best and most authentic matcha I had at a cafe. The drink doesn’t have any sweetness, so I would recommend asking for syrup if you like your drinks sweet.Would totally recommend. Staff was super friendly and had delicious options to choose from.

Stopped in after going to Avondale bowl up the street for an afternoon snack. I was intrigued by the variety of food options this cafe orders and decided to get the matcha smoothie because it sounded interesting and unique! I ended up tasting like slightly flavored milk and was very thin for a smoothie. I did like the cups though. It seems like a cute spot for coffee and maybe a pastry but not somewhere I'd go back for food. The interior is pretty simple but definitely has some cute details!

Very cute cafe, good service, seems to be dog-friendly. I ordered congee (rice porridge) with pork and it was not as expected - it was quite salty and had bacon and a hard-boiled egg in it. Also came with oyster crackers, which was weird - sort of like congee turned into a white people soup. Wouldn't recommend this dish, but I haven't tried anything else here yet.
