I used to love this place but once they remodelled I feel like a lot of their food got worse. I still like the coffee here but I am just not as interested in coming here now that the food isn't good.

Fun spot. I got a burger which was good but a little plain. My colleague got a dish that was gorgeous and massive. Reasonable prices and great location.

Went to eat here after observing the Sakura Blossom Festival at UW Square last Sunday. I remembered having such a pleasant experience the previous year with their Kimchi Fried Rice. However, I decided to try something new and ordered a combination appetizer Tteok-bokki and Spicy Pork Bibimbap. The plating was on point but tastewise nothing special.They had frogotten about our Tteok-bokki, which was annoying but was remedied. This was my entire meal that day mind you and that evening I fell violently ill. I've never prayed so hard on the porcelain throne before! But I was projectile vomitting at both ends and unable to keep any liquids down. The following day I ended up in the ER and found out it was sevre food poisoning.So I wanted to post this as awareness for being a public safety issue. No food is worth dying over..I'm most definitely not returning to this establishment anymore.

the first time I tried this place I got the katsu to go. The photo is messy because I ate some it, but then had to stop there because it was quite literally the worst katsu I've ever had. it was beyond overcooked, dry, and the rice and pickled radish was also dry and sad. This was really surprising, because this place always seems to be packed, but maybe this was an item people don't get. I just saw another review photo of this from someone who dined in and it looks just as over-cooked. It seems like this place may have better options, but I probably won't take the risk and come back. I am begging you guys to take this off your menu

Takeout order for a vegetarian penne pasta dish. Quantity was more than enough for two persons. Quality was good although the garlic bread wasn’t that great. Service was good. Prices are reasonable. Ambience is pretty basic catering primarily to UW
The food is great! Best brunch if you don't want a crowded restaurant.

Super cute place, decent food, great staff but they play their music so incredibly loud- not a “Cafe” vibe in my opinion. Not a place to study!

Has a decent air for a study spot, but the free wifi is very poor. Also, the coffee and smoothies are tasteless.

Went for afternoon tea with some friends and enjoyed their tea and cake! We originally went for tiramisu! I was told that they make an awesome one but it was all out so we ordered strawberry cheese which we loved!The atmosphere was great but little bit loud with musics. It looked like a great place for get together as lot of people were visiting :)!
