I would not recommend the matcha here for match lovers. The cold drinks only come in one size and it’s too large for the amount of powder they put in. The matcha gets over powered by the milk since they have to fill the cup up so much. Also the matcha powder is sweetened and not authentic. Cold foam tastes good on its own but does not mix well. Also no straws and the powder immediately sinks to the bottom.
Only pros: friendly barista and dog friendly
I got sober matcha with soy milk. It comes only iced and with very sweet cream on top which I don’t mind but…
They don’t have straws. It means you will be sipping this pure sugar first and then struggling to not spill the drink while drinking, because the drinkable lid is absolutely unusable (ice cubes fall through it)

Best matcha latte of my life…floored by all the negative reviews here

I’m a big fan of their beverages—the menu is creative, and the drinks are genuinely enjoyable. That said, the space itself feels uninviting. The decor and ambiance lean toward the gloomy side, almost as if the intention is for customers to grab their drinks and go rather than linger.
Service and drink quality also vary widely depending on the day and the barista. Some consistency would go a long way—cross-training or regular monthly training sessions could help maintain the high standards their drinks deserve.
All in all, I still recommend stopping by—especially if you have a few bucks to spare and a craving for something tasty. That said, with the heavy vibe inside, maybe a more fitting name would be Somber Shot

Cute, dog friendly coffee shop that has an amazing array of lattes. My go to is the dirty iced matcha latte - absolutely delicious!
No cold brew, and it smells like a litter box
Always saw this coffee shop while commuting to work. So decided to try it out. Only wish I tried it much sooner! Their coffee and matcha are the best! I tried their sober matcha with “white top” man that tasted so good. I also tried their sober shot. It’s like a sparkling water fusion with espresso shots and white top as well. Sounds different but it’s worth trying! I’ve tried different coffee shops in the neighborhood and this is by far the best! Look forward to trying their other drinks!

When I first discovered this place I was thrilled to buy a cup of matcha I truly enjoyed! However, the atmosphere slowly became less of a spot where I can work from home. Although the staff is nice, they are unaware of the unspoken cafe atmosphere, please be mindful of the noise level! The quality of the drink also is lost with each barista. One day it’s good and the next there is too much milk because of a different barista. I write this as a way to raise awareness to the owner.
Amazing place!! I ordered a sober matcha with almond milk and it's incredibly delicious, highly recommend! It's so easy on the stomach too and tastes like a melted cold milkshake 😊!
got the iced sober matcha, so so good!
I got matcha latte - it had too much sugar in it. May be it was on me to tell them no sugar or less sugar in the drink. It’s a nice place to with bar chairs to have your drink inside. The place is clean and spacious and have some interesting choice of drinks as part of their (un)popular category.
Such great coffee and great staff! The coffee is huge and comparatively cheap for the neighborhood. My only gripe with this place is that they don’t allow tipping on the card- your staff SO deserves it! Bring cash :)
