Ok Raleigh! Come to this spot! If you like tea, coffee, asian fusion. Thanks so much for the amazing chicken katsu sandwhich, I havent had chicken katsu since living in Vegas and it was so good! The couches need a little bit of tlc but they had a ton of tables and chairs and extra space, I’m loving it and will def be back!

It's a hidden gem in this shopping center. The space is large with multiple seating options. I ordered an oat milk latte, and it came out great. They didn't have a decaf option when I last visited but it might be just a one off.
One thing is that their online ordering process does not work well. I preordered a drink for a specific time frame, and when I arrived I had to ask them multiple times if it was ready. Starbucks mastered this system, but this coffee shop needs improvement.
Overall, a great place with good coffee.

A nice quite coffee spot to enjoy a relaxing drink. It is a great place to meet up with friends or to study or read by yourself.

Chai was basically foamed milk and way too much sugar. Couldn't taste any cinnamon, cardamom, or ginger. It was so light, I'm not sure there was tea in it at all. Ended up tossing it and leaving to find a better place to work. The place wasn't very inviting and doesn't feel much like a coffee shop. Seems like it might be a good quick food spot with coffee like options.

Its impossible to locate it from outside. I drove around for 10 mins to figure out where it was as there was o overhead sign.
The cafe smells of chinese food. The server never acknowledged me behind the cash register till he was done making his customers coffee for about 5 mins. He had headphones in his ears so I didnt know if I could say hi. Since there was no overhead music I could clearly hear all the business talk the customers were doing which was very uncomfortable. There is a huge sign that says you cant sit here without ordering something. Fair enough. The menu for breakfast is all chicken.
Overall the vibe is very uncozy and dry
Hole in the wall, pure gem. 10/10
We love Shaba Shabu and wanted to give this a try. It was delicious!! Everyone was friendly and helpful. We got the Khao Soi, Bangkok Burrito, and Nana’s Chicken and Waffle. We all shared so we could taste everything, and we all agreed that all were delicious. We’ll definitely be back! The prices were very good for what you get, as well.
Their sushi is way overpriced! My friend got two $15.90 sets (buy one, get one free) plus tea, and I had two rolls, one $10.90 and one $8.90. The discount should've been $24.80 ($15.90 + $8.90), but it was only $19.80. Double-check your bill!

Came in with my two boys. They made my drink wrong which was no big deal. My boys ordered boba, the strawberry boba was extremely sweet even for my son who loves sugar. The other boba we ordered was fine. The man behind the counter was very rude and refused to make another. I left the drink on the counter saying my boy wouldn’t drink it and walked away. He then threw the drink angrily into the trash. First and last time I’ll ever go there.
Best boba on town!
Wow, EXCELLENT latte.
Amazing place to study and get a great meal
Not the best coffee shop in Raleigh. It’s overpriced compared to other local spots. Customer service is great, but the coffee isn’t worth the price, and the wait is slow even when it’s not busy. It’s also hard to find the spot. Just FYI it’s inside another restaurant on the right side.
