I had an opportunity to try this place last week. At first, I actually missed it since it is a little tucked away, but there is parking available in the back. My first impression walking in was just how cute the space was and how committed they are to the anime theme. The restaurant is fun, welcoming, and clearly designed with fans in mind. We ordered at the counter and were helped by very friendly staff, who I believe may actually be the owners. As a matcha lover, I was excited to see so many different matcha options on the menu. I opted for the Mango Matcha, and from the color alone I could tell it was going to be a rich, quality matcha. The matcha itself was strong and flavorful, while the mango foam was incredibly delicious. The pieces of dried mango on top were a great finishing touch. My husband ordered the Meliodas Wrath, an iced latte topped with banana cream, and let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious. The banana flavor came through beautifully, and the little banana meringue on top was a fun and tasty addition. For food, my husband ordered the Rengoku Bento, which included rice, flavorful beef, a boiled egg, gyoza, and vegetable egg rolls. The gyoza and egg rolls were both crispy and delicious, and the entire meal was well executed. I ordered the Luffy Steak & Eggs, which came with perfectly scrambled eggs, rice, avocado, incredibly flavorful beef, grilled onions, and a house-made salsa that was honestly one of the highlights of the meal. The salsa tied everything together and added a great depth of flavor. The seasoning and sauce on the beef were bold and intense. Personally, I found that I needed the rice to balance the flavors, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I simply do not eat a lot of rice, so I found the dish worked best when everything was eaten together. Overall, this place is definitely worth a visit. Between the fun atmosphere, friendly service, creative menu, and excellent matcha drinks, it is a spot I look forward to returning to. I will definitely be back to work my way through the rest of their matcha offerings.

Pleasantly surprised!! Glad to have another good coffee shop in the area. Our drinks were well executed. The added flavors did not overpower the coffee. It was a good roast and brew. We prefer Miku's song (Blue Razz) over V Super Saiyan (Mango). Blue raspberry paired well and enhanced the coffee whereas the mango kind of disappeared. Needless to say, the cafe itself was really nice! It's decked out in decorations, games, and manga. A great spot to hang out. The parking lot in the back is not very big and I believe it shared with the tenants (mixed use building). Overall, I would definitely come again to try their other drinks and food.

My friends and I visited this cafe after the gym. It is tucked in a corner on Pacific Ave. in Baldwin Park. There is a handful of parking spots in the back. The place is unassuming on the outside, but oh so lively on the inside. I only dabble in anime, but you could see how much care was put into decorating this cafe. You can order at your table with the QR code on the stand, which is what my friends and I did. For my drink I got the Gengar Shadow and it came with a matcha poki and blueberry meringue. The matcha was smooth and flavorful. The blueberry cream was tasty, creamy & complimented the matcha so well. I also got the Charriquiles, which were cooked to perfection. The tortilla chips were a gorgeous balance of crunchy and soft. The verde salsa had a little kick and was so rich. The eggs were big and cooked to perfection. The staff was friendly and checked on us a bit. It is a little pricey, but that's expected eating out now. Be prepared to wait a little, but that usually is expected with good tasting, high quality food. So mad at myself for not stopping by before, when I perused Yelp for study spots. Will definitely come again!!

What a beautiful and gorgeous place! Anteiku means harmony zone or peaceful ward. It was also a small neighborhood café in the Tokyo Ghoul series. I felt like I am walking in an animation studio. There are anime characters everywhere, in addition to a cute anime mural. The decor was vibrant, unique, and joyful.The furniture were comfy. The place was very clean. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There is an adjacent parking lot with limited spots, but we parked easily there. Their savory menu included; kaido steak sando, rengoku Bento, mugiwara fried rice, steak and eggs, grilled cheese, veggie rolls, Onigri, gyoza, and more. The drink menu had various assortment. They had latte, cappuccino, frappuccinos, Mocha latte, cold brew, matcha, specialty drinks , mocktails and refreshers. The staff were very welcoming and genuinely warm. We ordered the following to go; - Rengoku Bento 5/5 Tender sirloin steak, sautéed bell peppers and onions, served with fluffy white rice, crispy egg rolls, savory gyozas, and a boiled egg.The portion was excellent. Everything was flavorful. -Sanjis Tamago Sando 5/5 Creamy egg salad spread on toasted sourdough bread, with salsa on the side. The sando was savory, creamy, and rich. -Onigri 5/5 seasoned rice in a triangle shape, decorated with crisp seaweed, and filled with savory fillings. It was fresh and tasty. -G super Saiyan 5/5 Fresh matcha latte topped with mango cream top. Their matcha was strong and creamy balanced with the sweetness of mango. -All might smile 5/5 It was matcha latte topped with banana cream top. It was such a refreshing drink. The natural and rich flavor of banana had well balanced flavor with the strong matcha taste. This cafe is a hidden gem in Baldwin Park. Definitely, I will be back soon.

If you love anime, then you will love this cute cafe spot. I ordered Avocado Toast, Gyoza dumplings, and Mydoriyas Charge drink. The toast with smash avocado and eggs was delicious on a sourdough bread. My pretty Kiwi refresher drink was perfectly sweetened and refreshing. Chicken Gyoza was flavorful inside and crispy on the outside. Tasted great with the dipping sauce. Ambiance is nice and clean. Perfect spot for a brunch, meetup, school and work. Great service. Owner and the staff were m super friendly. I will definitely be back.

This Cafe is trendy and a fun place to be. The owners, Luis and Valerie, have invested time to create a place for the community to enjoy. With an Anime theme, it automatically attracts customers by word of mouth. Leonard from Yelp IE posted his review and photos, I just had to bookmark it! Te-see from SFV, drove all the way out to experience it first-hand and we give it the DOUBLE thumbs up!! Sandwiches, wraps, fruit yogurt parfait, coffee are some of the popular items. All food and drinks are served in glass or ceramic dishware, no paper plates or plastic utensils. If you are like me and don't know what to order, the owner was patient in answering questions and making recommendations. Each item has a creative name and fresh ingredients, not frozen. Try a couple of things and come back to make your way down the menu. Community Events are held on a monthly basis, follow them on social media for the latest schedule. 1. Avocado toast had chopped egg in a mayo dressing. 2. Lotus Latte was topped with a Biscoff cookie. 3. Hot Cocoa with Toasted Marshmallows, whipped topping 4. Killua fruit yogurt parfait with sliced strawberries and blueberries (named after a popular Anime character). I was definitely a fan as soon as I walked in the door. To the left are board games, books and sofa seating. Straight ahead is the order counter and electronic menu board, on the right hand side are several tables with seats for 4 to 6 customers. A few tables are located outside by the front entrance. -Small parking lot behind the cafe (no charge). Sincerely, Rosemary

"Anteiku" is a prominent, fictional coffee shop and ghoul organization in the Tokyo Ghoul anime and manga series, hence the name... Owner Louis and Valerie his wife, opened this coffee shop 8 months ago. As a kid he watched anime to help him through a rough time. His life was truly changed and he wanted to give the community a safe heaven where they too could benefit from it as well. The minute you step inside you will notice all of the anime artwork on the walls, the amazing menu above the counter (it changes every few seconds with the most amazing photos of the drink menu), and the glorious chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Even the bathroom has anime artwork! There is an area where you can sit back on a comfy sofa or chair to enjoy your drink and/or food. *The drink menu is extensive with Coffees, Matchas, Mocktails, and refreshers. The presentation is beyond spectacular!!! We were blown away! The food menu also amazing! We ordered: *Lotus Latte - a butter cookie/biscoff iced latte 10/10 *Hot Chocolate - looked like a work of art 10/10 *Avocado Toast - mashed avocado with eggs - 10/10 - tasted like avocado egg salad - soooo good! *Killua Fruit & Yogurt - Greek yogurt with fresh Blueberries&Strawberries 5/5 **Excellent service! Louis was so helpful and answered all of our questions about the drinks and the food! ~Check out their website/insta for anime events. Louis is planning on doing a few a months. ~Parking lot in the back *TY Leonard for turning me on to this place! ~ and that's all I have to say about that...xo

My daughter and I love coming to this cafe in Baldwin Park, three reasons why. The owner and his employees are super kind and amazing people. I love supporting small businesses. Secondly, the coffee and the Chilaquiles with beef are delicious, definitely my favorite. Lastly, my daughter and I love ripping our Pokemon cards. The owner enjoys us ripping and showing him when we get great hits. The environment is amazing as well. Thank you Anteiku Cafe for amazing service!

A cozy artfully Japanese anime curated coffee shop with instrumental music playing lighly in the background. This place has ample seating and is a great place to lounge around and enjoy your coffeewith a small meal. The staff is friendly, fast and attentive with their service. I ordered the Lotus Latte hot and it has a beautiful presentation and tasted rich, creamy, and not too sweet.

Marleena H.

"All might smile" banana matcha was very good. Sweet but not overly sweet, my recommendation would be to mash the little candy that comes on top into the drink and you'll be able to really get the banana with the drink, all in all the matcha was very good. There was a family sitting down and all of their food looked really good. It was a very welcoming environment and even saw people in costume. The workers were also very nice as well. Would come back :), only issue was that it took a long time for the matcha about 25 minutes, I know things are usually first come first serve but working in service if I have big families coming the I'm going to push out the order with one or two drinks while working on my big order. Just a tip but it was very nice and enjoyed my experience

Cecilia L.

This is such a cool coffee shop! I got the biscoff latte and i loved how it wasnt overly sweet, you can still taste the coffee and the flavor. I do wish they had sip lids instead of dome but thats personal preference. The staff was attentive and very fast.

Zenitsu Ice Tea and Haisen coffee w a meringue cookie.

Cute small cafe with interesting menu items. Perfect for anime and manga otakus, even the meaning of the name relates to the reference from a cafe in Tokyo Ghoul where "even a Ghoul needs a place to relax" comes from. Friendly service and very clean and well kept interior. Could be a date spot, friends hang out, or even a fun outing to show off beautiful artwork. I ordered Zenitsu Ice Tea and my friend ordered from one of the house favorites Haisen Iced Coffee. Both drinks were good, can't wait to try other menu items so will be back again but honestly I really want to just bask in the happy vibes in this cafe. Parking is convenient and free behind the building.

Anteiku Cafe (Baldwin Park) is perhaps one of the most unexpected, unique, and utterly lovely experiences that I've stumbled upon. It felt like a Disney cafe for anime enthusiasts. The Nezuko's Love (aka: iced matcha latte with strawberry cream, strawberry pocky, & pink meringue - $7) is refreshing, picturesque, and very big. I felt happy. I arrived at Anteiku Cafe (Baldwin Park) on Tuesday (around 12:27PM). This location is a short three minute drive from West Covina Mall. Parking is simple & convenient. This business's small parking lot contains about 11 spaces. Staff also explained that there's no time limit on these parking spaces despite the green paint. Personally, if management added a tiny sign in the lot, that would alleviate many concerns about the parking. Staff is charismatic, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Staff speaks English and Spanish. Staff (receipt says Luis) gave wonderful recommendations and worked hard. Luis also quickly answered my questions with an unwavering smile. My drink took five minutes and 19 seconds. It's a good pace. I enjoyed the Nezuko's Love ($7). This matcha tasted clean & smooth. The bits of strawberry cream were thick, sweet, and lightly tart. The strawberry pocky had a fresh crunch. And its floating pink meringue reminded me of astronaut ice cream with a gummy, very sweet center. It's a big, refreshing, & quality drink. Regarding ambiance, Anteiku Cafe (Baldwin Park) is gorgeous. It's reminiscent of an upscale cafe in Las Vegas; if placed in the Bellagio, it would seamlessly fit in. The colors are vibrant; the decor is spotless and well-maintained; and the ceiling's light fixtures are beautiful as they sparkle. In addition to its sleek, eye-catching appearance, there's sincere utility. Anteiku Cafe (Baldwin Park) has customer internet with password. Customers must directly ask staff for the password information. Also, there's two electrical adapters nearby its tables. These electrical adapters are wonderful since they have 8 sockets for plugs and a couple ports for USB cables. Anteiku Cafe (Baldwin Park) felt spacious with its tall ceiling; however, the floor space is limited. This location's interior fits about six tables; the outside patio has about three tables. This location is very clean and well-ventilated. This location also includes a gender neutral restroom for customers. Anteiku Cafe (Baldwin Park) also has a lounge area for anime/manga enthusiasts. Nearby its plush chairs, there's a place to interact with Pokemon plushies. Customers also have permission to read from their small manga library (ex: Demon Slayer Volumes, Jujutsu Kaisen Volumes, etc.) on the standing cabinet. Customers can also play with the available games (ex: Uno, Monopoly, Dominoes, etc). To my surprise, it all looked well-maintained and clean. My main concern will be its longevity, especially if a hidden gem like this becomes very busy. Regardless, there's currently genuine passion and care within these walls. Overall, I had a memorable & lovely experience at Anteiku Cafe (Baldwin Park). If curious, I wholeheartedly recommend. The hype is real! It's a must-try. 5 out of 5. "Go!!!"

I've seen this place in passing for a while now and decided to stop by and try it out. I like that there's a dedicated parking lot for it, however on busy days it fills up fast so you're left with no parking since it's a tiny lot. The interior is really nice, they did a lot with a small space. You can tell it's well kept with cleanliness being top notch. There are a ton of anime-inspired decorations, statuettes, paintings, etc. The staff is super friendly and inviting. Overall the vibe is confusing and certainly feels like a work in progress. It feels like it wants to be a social spot where you can hang out for hours with your friends like a gaming cafe, but it also feels like its main priority is making sure customers have room to sit down and eat instead of game. I think there's a better mix of the two worlds it can hit so that it's more inviting for longer stays. I don't recall there being music the few times I went, if there was music then it must have been super low. Nobody was talking and it was pretty quiet, so I was just whispering since it felt like everybody could hear every word I said haha. I think louder music would instantly help it be a more social spot vs a library type environment. There's a lounge/hangout area with an arcade machine, but there was a random racing game that I didn't care for so I didn't play it. And they had anime and TCG's which I'm also not into (I watch anime, I don't read it) so there wasn't much for me to do in that area. I don't know why but I expected more board games? Anyway, I heard the food was good, so I tried some of that and the drinks. DRINKS I TRIED (all were incredible): - Goku SS Matcha Latte - SO GOOD. Definitely the best thing there and one of the best drinks I've had anywhere in a while. Based on how good this drink was I wanna go back and try everything. - All Might Smile - LOVED IT - Nezuko's Love - AMAZING just as good as the others. FOOD I TRIED: - Keido Steak Sandwich - I wouldn't get this again. The steak was too tough and the soy sauce was making quite a mess but didn't really add much to the sandwich. The fries also were nothing noteworthy, they tasted just like your average frozen fries. Not sure if they actually are frozen or not. - Onigiri - Pretty good! Not anything incredible, but I did like it and will get it again if I need a small snack. I have never had Onigiri before so I have nothing to compare it to haha. - Ice cream + Churros - Pretty good. Churros in general are usually hit or miss but they got them right. They were warm enough and soft enough just how I like them. They're not all stale and chewy like some places make the mistake of doing. - Denjis Dream Toast - Probably wont get again. It's just toast with toppings. But it is on the "Light Bites" section of the menu so it is what it is. - DK Toast - Same. Probably wont get again since it's so simple. Overall it certainly seems like their strength is in the drinks and not in the food, and I will 100% keep going back to try more drinks. I can't wait to see this place grow over time, it's already awesome and I'll keep coming back! read more

New neighborhood cafe. So glad I finally tried it out. I called in my order and the owner took my order. Service was quick and I was able to easily come and pick up my food. When I got to the cafe, it's very roomy with lots of relaxed couch and table seating. The cafe has an available manga bookshelf if you're looking to read something while there, there's also free WiFi. Lots of anime decorations and the tv was playing relaxing Pokémon music. I ordered the Avocado toast (more like an avocado egg salad on toasted sourdough very good) and Haisen coffee (house made horchata latte, very well balanced not too sweet). The owner gave us some coffee and honey cookies that were really tasty and would be fantastic with a hot coffee. Really looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. Happy to have a nice cafe so close to home. read more

I have been looking for a good matcha place and finally found one! The place is welcoming, with many anime and Japanese-style elements inside the cafe. I got the All Might smile, and it was delicious. I like that they use a good-quality ceremonial matcha. You can immediately taste the difference, and the banana cream foam blends smoothly with the matcha. It also came topped with a banana pokie stick and a banana-flavored sugar cookie--definitely a 10/10. My boyfriend got a mocha frappe with whipped cream, and his drink was delicious, too. It came in a cute bear cup to go. Finding the place was a little hard since it's slightly hidden. There's parking available in the back of the building. I recommend this place if you're looking for good-quality matcha. I know it's hard to come by a good spot with authentic matcha. I will be coming back to try the other drinks, especially the other matcha (strawberry and ube foam available). The food looked tasty, too. It has a Mexican twist, so maybe next time we will give it a try. read more

It's super cute when you walk in. There are Pokemon cards to purchase and trade, there was this wallpaper of a titan and Levi hanging next to it. There was 1 arcade game. Lots of trinkets! Buttttt we waited a VERY long time for our drinks. My boyfriend and I got the Banana Matcha, and even though there were few customers, we waited 15-20 minutes for our drinks. I wouldn't have minded if the drinks were amazing, but I couldn't even taste the banana foam. They added a piece of candy and banana Pocky which was tasty! But that's the only banana flavor I got (from the pocky). The matcha was simply ok. This place seems to also be part restaurant. They came out with an elaborate strawberry ice cream thing which looked beautiful, it just made me wonder if they only had 2 employees that worked in the front AND back. All in all, I probably wouldn't go back, BUT if you want to try this place out I say go for it. Just be patient with them Edit: The point was I did not taste the banana cream top at all. I was very aware the cream top was there as I already mentioned the foam. I should at least be able to taste some banana even if I wanted a pronounced flavor. If you're also taking mobile orders, then perhaps notify your patrons of the extended wait. We had just come from a long drive down the mountain. Yes, 15 minutes seemed excessive. Communication would've helped. read more

A very cute anime themed cafe! I'm a sucker for themed places with good decor (and I'm a big fan of the show it's named from so might be slightly bias). The service was great.

I rarely write reviews but this spot totally made my day! This place is so welcoming and relaxing! I'm so happy to finally have a place like this in Baldwin park! I've recently gotten into anime and this place had the cutest themed drinks! I got "Nezuko's Love" and my bf got the "Roronoa Zoro slushy"! So much thought and details went into this cafe, the food is also amazing! We tried the Rengoku Bento Box and the Onigiri (one avocado and one cream cheese). I can't wait to come back! The owner is so nice and pleasant to speak with. He talked to us about all different anime's and took the time to make sure we had the best experience! Thank you so much! read more

So glad I went to this cafe! Decorations were super cute. The owner was really kind and attentive, checking up on me and my friend every so often. I got Sanji's Tamago Sando and Gengar Shadow and it was super good! I was surprised because the pricing was inexpensive yet it was like a full meal. The vibes were really calming with music playing in the background. My friend and I were coloring while waiting and after our meal we were offered free stickers! So sad I don't live in the area, I would have definitely come again. You can tell how much love and effort the owner put into this place. I highly encourage anyone who lives in the area to check the cafe out! read more

Hidden gem. If you like anime this a cute place for you to enjoy food and drinks. They have manga for sale and artwork from severalseries. The onigiri was great. The rice was cooked perfectly. The steak sando had a lot of flavor and the fries were super crispy. The steak was a little chewy so that's why I couldn't go 5 stars but will be back. read more

Came here couple months ago and we were absolutely pleased to find this adorable cafe. It's inspired by anime and they have like over 10 different exotic flavors of sparkling water with different anime characters on the cans. The iced lattes were delicious. They also have some delicious plates and sandwiches and appetizers along with desserts. We tried the bento plate which came with the sirloin flap steak, rice, deviled eggs, egg rolls & gyoza. It was really satisfying & tasty. We also tried the fried rice which had so much flavor, and we took a sirloin flap steak sandwich to go which was also really delicious. For dessert we had fruit & yogurt which was such a treat. We took some of the mineral waters to go they were so refreshing and full of flavor. The owner is really nice and very accommodating to his customers which is always a plus. I definitely recommend this adorable cafe not only for its delicious items it offers but for the vibe you get in the cafe. read more

I don't do food reviews often but when i do it's for the support and the prosperity that I hope to see when it comes to potential places like this. It's a family owned business that loves and dedicates their cafe to a series of different animes. I mean that itself is pretty obvious considering that the business name literally takes after a Tokyo Ghoul reference, but that is beside the point. The cafe is 2 minutes from my house and I had never thought to have tried this place out without the suggestion of my partner. When walking in it's essentially an Anime cafe with lofi music of known Japanese songs playing and mangas for people to read with an arcade machine for anyone's interest in playing. It's clean and obviously shown that the business cares about the hygiene of the place. As for the food and service, though it takes time for them to cook and prepare the drinks, I would say it's worth the wait considering that the items that we've ordered tasted great. I have no complaints about the place, the workers there are appeasing customers by approaching their tables to check on their well being. I would also say that the place is fitting to even study there since it is very peaceful and not much of a loud place. I would definitely recommend and would come back. The check for all the items were about $45 and I would say it was worth tipping $29 dollars there. Thank you so much for your services, and see you soon! read more

When I walked into Darkside Games, I wasn't greeted. One employee was helping a customer with a trade of multiple Pokémon cards, which is understandable, but I stood by the display case looking at Magic cards for quite a while without any acknowledgment or indication I'd be helped. During that time, another customer who seemed like a regular came in and was immediately helped, while I continued waiting. A second employee later came out from the back, walked past me without saying anything, and started working without checking if I needed help.

What really stood out during our latest visit was how fair they were with store credit. I brought in some cards from my personal collection that I was willing to part with, and they offered a value that felt reasonable and honest. That store credit quickly turned into Pokémon packs for the kids, which immediately made their day. Seeing my kids walk out of the store excited and holding their new haul reminded me why we keep coming back. Good prices, fair trade values, and a family friendly experience go a long way.

After seeing a TikTok about a new café opening in Baldwin Park, we knew we had to give Anteiku Cafe a try. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and inviting. The anime themed decor creates a unique and fun experience that immediately sets it apart. While we were there, I had the opportunity to chat with the owner about his vision for the cafe and what he hopes it will represent for the community. He spoke passionately about creating a safe and welcoming space for everyone, especially local kids. What really stuck with me was when he said, "If kids need a place to come do homework and use the Wi-Fi, they're welcome here, they don't need to buy anything." That level of care and commitment to the community completely won me over. I've been telling everyone I know about this place ever since. And then there's the food and coffee. The coffee is amazing, and the food, OMG, the food is perfection. The chilaquiles are hands down some of the best in Baldwin Park. Anteiku Cafe has quickly become one of our favorite spots to enjoy a great cup of coffee, and share an incredible meal. It is a must-visit. read more

This café is an absolute gem and easily one of the best spots I've visited. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and effortlessly comfortable--the kind of place you can relax and truly enjoy your time. The coffees were outstanding--rich, smooth, and perfectly crafted. You can tell they take pride in every cup they serve. As for the pancakes, they were nothing short of amazing: incredibly fluffy, light, and full of flavor. Paired with fresh fruit and that delicious topping, every bite felt like a treat. What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was the customer service. The staff were genuinely warm, friendly, and attentive, going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It's rare to find a place that excels in both food and hospitality to this level. I honestly can't say enough good things about this café. It's the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommend! read more

The coffee, cocoa, and cream topping complemented each other perfectly, making it such a refreshing treat on a 106° day. I also got the matcha black sesame scone, which was solid. The interior is super cute, and there's free parking, which is always a plus! Definitely coming back to try more of their signature lattes. Highly recommend!

Location This fairly new boba spot is located in West…read moreCovina, right on the corner of Glendora Ave and E Service Ave. I believe it opened around two years ago, so it still feels pretty fresh and new to the area. Parking Parking was pretty convenient. There is street parking available, and there is also a small parking lot in the back for the building's tenants. Interior / Atmosphere The shop itself looks bright, clean, and inviting. It has big shop signs, sofas, and a few cute spots where you can take pictures. From what I heard, they also host K-pop gatherings from time to time, which gives the place a fun and unique vibe. Service The staff were friendly, interactive, and easy to talk to. They answered my questions with helpful information and made the experience feel welcoming. Drinks I ordered the Guanyin milk tea, which was recommended to me after I mentioned that I prefer a stronger tea flavor. It was a good recommendation, and I enjoyed that the tea taste came through well. Even though I ordered 100% sugar, the drink did not taste overly sweet, which I appreciated. Overall Overall, I had a good experience here. I would personally rate this place around a 4.3 to 4.7, but because the staff were so interactive and welcoming with customers, I would give them a 5. Keep it up!!

From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by the two sisters behind the counter…read more They immediately took the time to find out exactly what I wanted and walked me through all the options with a wealth of knowledge, making sure they got my order just right. Their personalities were so warm and engaging that I honestly thought they were the owners. I ordered a flat white, and it was absolutely delicious-made perfectly. The Bundt coffee cake was out of this world and paired wonderfully with the coffee. The ambiance is quaint, charming, and refreshingly simple. It's a beautiful new location, and I truly hope they do very well. They've definitely earned my support, and I'll be back.

The drink and the pastry were both great! I loved the vibe of the cafe. It was very nice :) They…read morewere super friendly and cool, I hope to visit soon again.

EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!…read more Finally got to check out Namu Kitchen and it's just so lovely inside! You can tell the owners put a lot of thought and love and quality into their interior decor and seating. Thoughtful power plugs are against many tables so you can plug in a laptop or charge your phone. The air conditioner was on high thank God in this heat wave! Food was amazing- we got the breakfast plate which was huge and shareable. We also got the braised beef burrito w/ the tasty chimichurri sauce. I like how healthy the dishes were! So many great selection of drinks it was hard to pick just one but I loved my mango coconut matcha! The sweet cloud was thick and heavenly! I will definitely be a regular here!

What really makes this place stand out is the incredible customer service. A huge shoutout to Arianna, Vanessa, and Soraya! They are so warm, friendly, and welcoming every single time you walk through the door. Their great energy and attention to detail make every visit a treat. If you're looking for amazing drinks and a friendly vibe, this is definitely the spot. Highly recommend!

Horchata Latte- perfectly cinnamon-y and sweet but not too sweet. The best drink we got. Gosh I…read morelove horchata. Spanish Latte- Definitely need to get this "less sweet" bc the normal sweetness was too sweet for my liking:( it would have been better if I selected that option. It tasted 2x sweeter than the Horchata latte. Both lattes were not very strong, but not as weak compared to places like Dunkin. Props to this place for having soy milk as an alternative milk option which is rare these days!! Waited about 5 minutes to get our drinks after ordering inside on the kiosk.

I went to Ladd coffee because it was at entrance and there was no line, which was great because I really wanted to go in and out. The worker there was so nice and was super patient as I decided on what to order. I opted for the matcha latte (they also had milk substitute). They also allowed sweetness adjustments, so I opted for less sweet. The drink came out pretty quickly and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. The drink was very good, match was well balanced and the sweetness was perfect for my liking. I also tried someone else's cold brew, which was really good and not over brewed. I will definitely be back here for my caffeine needs. They also had some bakery items, which looked really good and I want to try next time.

I'd say about 70-80% of the time my drinks are great, but unfortunately the last few times have been blah and not worth the $. I've noticed the quality depends on who makes the drink, and I just wish it were more consistent. Otherwise, this would easily be a 5 star review. Their drinks are (most of the time) amazing!
