What People Are Saying
from Google"I've come here twice. The first time, I had a rose flavored latte, and now I got a matcha latte. Both times, I've received top-quality ingredients, and the barista is really good with portions. Highly recommend the coffee. Lovely outmosphere and super fast service. I did have a few sips before taking pictures."
