"We browsed the menu before dining in so we were not surprised by the price. It's definitely on the pricey end, but they did deliver the quality! We had the matcha latte, iced coffee, egg salad sandwich and bacon ham avocado sandwich. The drinks and food were served with ceramic dinewares, which is the dining experience I expected for the price you paid for (other than the iced coffee in plastic cup). The matcha latte was awesome, the fine quality matcha pair with oatmilk plus some latte art-- perfect!! Our sandwiches were nicely done, but it took like 15min to prepare, will not recommend if you're in a hurry. The place is pretty tight and can be packed sometimes. Not recommend for big party. One thing that gets me was they did not separate the recyclable of the trash bin at the back! All the drinks bottles, plastic cups, compostable and regular trash are all mixed together. IMO, a place like this that charged almost $10 for a cup of coffee can do better with their trash system!"

"We tried the matcha and hojicha lattes and weren't impressed. The matcha was incredibly earthy, and lacked sweetness, which wasn't ideal for my liking. Even more, they were expensive! The vibe inside the cafe, however, was artistic and unique. The stands for seating were an interesting feature and make the cafe stand out. I wish I had tried more stuff from their menu, so I could have more good to say."

"We tried this unique coffee shop from Kyoto, Japan last year and couldn't wait to return! Return we did, making it to the spot 5 minutes before close on the last day of our visit! Last year, I could quickly double park right outside and run in but the logistics changed... This time I parked across the street in a tow away zone. All good! The staff were very gracious in making two lattes for my wonderful wife. I ordered one smoked maple like last year plus a new salted caramel pumpkin! She liked them both! Alicia helped secure the drinks to ensure I could carry them both across the store and street without spilling a drop! The latte art was exquisite, so we got a nice picture before covering the drinks for the journey. Thank you, Alicia, for your kind, friendly and professional service! We look forward to returning next time we are within an hour or two of Boston! Life is good with excellent unique coffee!"

"One of the cutest cafe experiences I've ever had... The cafe was VERY packed with people but it had a lot of fun seating (communal tables, two-tops and tiered seating!!) and a really gorgeous menu of Japanese lattes, brunch food and sweets/pastries! The hojicha latte had so much body and depth I was almost reminded of black sesame. The latte art was really gorgeous as well. I really liked it! The latte paired incredibly well with the houjicha cake slice, which came with strawberry, coffee jelly, a raspberry syrup and vanilla ice cream. The cake slice was the ideal level of mildly sweet, which was enhanced by all of the added components -- the fruity sweetness of the raspberry syrup, the creaminess of the vanilla, the tartness of the strawberry and the bitterness of the jelly. It felt like such a luxurious dessert experience! Ideal for a fun afternoon date or a sweet pick-me-up!"

"This was on my list of have to visit coffee shops on my trip to Boston. The Vietnamese iced coffee is the best I've ever had. The food is great, I had a bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel, and the hot pepper mayonnaise spread is amazing. Sit at the small bar in the back to watch baristas create amazing work."
