The staff is extremely rude. Telling me to order at here and there and Throughout garbage at the front garage can since i tried to use one in the back. Don’t tell me to do your job. Poor management. Pretty sure business is going to suffer because of the part-time worker.

Found this place while detoured looking for a good coffee shop. We were hungry as well so we ordered their shrimp and their chicken teriyaki sandwiches as well as their strawberry and whipped cream waffle. The food was good. The waffle small for the price. I ordered their seasonal special, a gingerbread latte. It was good. Boyfriend got mocha iced coffee. He thought his was pretty good.

Vegetarian options: One mushroom sandwich.

The staff is extremely rude. I was given a very negative attitude. In 2024 people have no need to carry cash anymore so when I went to pay for something that costs $5, I mentioned that I don’t have cash, only card. The response from the employee was abrasive and rude saying “then you can’t stay here you need to leave”. I didn’t say anything and just left. They seem to get a lot of business anyways because it’s a big space where people chill or study, so they didn’t care that my feelings were hurt by their attitude. As tempting as the environment of the store is, I don’t recommend coming here where the staff give off such bad vibes. It’s just sad… There’s a cafe 5 minutes away from this location called Bean and Bean which I recommend way more and the food and drinks actually have a high quality taste with good costumer service.

They charge for tap water. Well he said we don’t charge for the water, but we charge for the cup.

Also we went to get a coffee after our desserts and the cashier said it was a $10 minimum for card. I understand but they mostly sell items for under $10…

First impressions: Great, if you ask me! I think this is one of the few places in the NY metro area where you can get bingsu during the summer, which is a nostalgic treat for me. Why spend $1K on a plane ticket to Korea when you can instead white-knuckle your way through the GWB and the streets of NJ where no one has any regard for human life, turn signals, or stop signs? Beautiful

They are not accepting credit card under $10. It is not uncommon in coffee place.

I ordered a bowl of ice flakes (팥빙수)with a topping. It's a popular Korean cafe in Fort Lee, NJ. My order was a size for 3 persons. But it looked like shrunken in half. The server's excuse was it was melt. She said she called us several times. But we were just right in front of her. It usually doesn't melt that fast.
She looked cold like ice.
Look at the pics of the difference.

asked a empty cup to share large cup of coffee or Bingsu(shaved ice with topping), I had to pay $1.. is it worth to charge $1 for 10 cents cup. This kind of service, you will lose a lot more from disgruntled customers.

I stopped by this bubble tea shop excited for a refreshing drink, but unfortunately, the Gen Z workers didn't share my enthusiasm. Despite arriving during operating hours, they informed me it was too late and they were cleaning up. However, I witnessed them happily serving their friends and making drinks for them. It was clear that prioritizing their friends took precedence over attending to customers.

What struck me most was the palpable sense of annoyance at my presence. It seemed like I was an inconvenience, and customer service was non-existent. As a paying customer, I expect a certain level of respect and attention, but sadly, that was lacking.

This experience left a sour taste in my mouth, and I won't be returning. It's a shame, as I love their drinks, but poor service can quickly turn a loyal customer away. Hopefully, the management will address these issues and train their staff to value all customers, not just their friends.
