Wish I had enough time to take pictures but I had to rush to work! The place is sooooo cute and showed how much the owners/staff took pride in their work. There are also lots of local artisans' crafts which were lovely. I got the espresso + sparkling Vita lemon drink, which the barista said was one of his favourites. I can see why!! It was sooooo good. Would love to have it again sometime soon.

Def a gem to be checked out! We’ve been coming 2 weeks in a roll

Amazing coffee shop. It's obvious they love coffee themselves and put a lot of care into everything they do. They have a few baked goods and what I tried was great.

They have many specialty coffee beans that you can buy, from fairly affordable to very primo.

Worst hojicha I’ve ever had… literally grainy and tastes like literal dirt to which my friend also agreed to as well as we both ordered hojicha drinks. Barely any milk or sugar was added when I requested for milk with my drink. Should’ve asked to exchange for a different drink. Taste doesn’t justify the price.

EDIT (response to owner):
I believe you mistakened me for my friend who requested no milk to her order. I had requested milk but very little was added…

UPDATE:
Reached out to the owner and we came to an agreed resolution along with notable suggestions made to improve service. I would like to commend the prompt and courteous follow up provided by the owner which shows they really strive for excellence and customer satisfaction. Will update my food rating when I get a chance to return.

Unfortunately, even though they were using good Japanese beans, the barista’s skills were lacking, so I wasn’t willing to pay for it. The pudding was also priced at nearly $10 for that size.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

My favourite coffee shop as of yet 🥺
I love the cozy and chill vibes and the coffee is great!!! I hope to try some of their desserts as well in the near future :3
I love how they have a variety of coffee beans for sale, as well as matcha and tools. Recently I got some coffee beans as a future gift for my bf’s father and the owner of the cafe took a long time explaining the difference of each brand and type, which we really appreciated!

The environment is so cute and relaxing to work or study in! The drink selection however is pretty small, if you don’t drink coffee or matcha nothing else really to have.

Very delicious, neat, and extremely polite employees! They are always smiling to see you and to make your coffee in the morning when you just want to wake up. And they engage very well with the customers! In my past I've encountered many horrible coffee shops but this one just flips the page completely! Come here for your morning!

They offer an impressive selection of beans and a dedicated pour-over area if you're feeling fancy. You’ll also find some really cute ceramics for sale, like mugs and chawans.

I got the cold brew and iced matcha latte. The cold brew was strong and smooth. The matcha had a nice balanced profile with mild sweetness. It didn’t overpower the milk but still came through (with regular milk btw).

Friendly staff, and relaxing space. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area.

Had a coffee pour-over that was recommended by the staff but the taste was not good it was sour and bitter which I paid $20 for it. I can tell it was not done by someone knowledgeable about coffee. Anyways, they had large selection of beans that I thought to give a try at home, there was a Japanese branded one that was $70, it was not good felt like they had gone bad, not special at all given the price tag…..

Very quaint and calming cafe.
Houjicha and matcha latte were just alright for us.
The wifi is very bad inside of the cafe, so it wasn’t suitable for work.

Had a really nicely extracted espresso, the barista is definitely experienced and passionate. Recommended!
