The iced enjoyme latte was very interesting. Loved the nutty cream and flavor. The ssuk latte was also very aromatic and a refreshing in a unique way. The chocolate croissants were a decent size and tasty too. My personal fav was the columbia pourover. Had it twice. I also bought the beans to take back home. Would 100% visit again if I'm in Portland.

I got an iced hojicha latte and the hojicha tea flavor tied so well with the espresso! It was so rich and smooth.

I stopped by excited to get a drink and grab some matcha - they do not carry matcha in the store. Ok weird. I finally flag down the attention of some staff after wandering around for a few minutes (in a very small space) and the employee was short with me, kind of stand offish and I felt weird being there ‍ After that experience I decided to look for some new locally sourced tea (and found some in matcha freak thank goodness) so that I could move my money elsewhere. Anyway I was a years long dedicated online customer and coming into this store effectively stopped that.

The store itself is very clean and has a lot of cute decorations. Drinks are very colorful and have some fun seasonal themes. The employee behind the counter was super sweet and friendly. Service was really fast event though I think they were working alone. I really enjoyed my French Daisy-- the purple is SUPER vibrant in person, even though the yellow is a little duller than the ad. It was refreshing and very sweet (my preference, my partner got his 50% sweet and said that was perfect for him). The tapioca pearls were just the right consistency. Perfect for a little pick-me-up on the weekend.

I chose the og bobas coated in their brown sugar. This is perfect if you're indecisive like me or bringing a friend and want to compare flavors! It looked like a slow day for them as we were the only people in the shop. However there are lots of seating and the staff was super friendly and suggested we get one of their rice balls too, so we got the salmon and tuna - which we got to go, I noticed only later that they also have rice ball flights too! Which means I have to go back another time to try another.

This reminds me of the Korean cafes that are sprinkled all over Southern California. We were delighted to see it here! I ordered a black sesame late and a black sesame mochi donut. Being only one barista, right after you order, he makes your drink immediately. You can hear and see the espresso shots being made and the ice filling your cups. Dependent on your order, he pulls out the cream for the top. I can see the black sesame cream top being very thick and full. A lot of patrons were ordering their tiramisu latte, and I don't blame them! It's what is very popular here. Personally, I enjoyed the black sesame latte very much. It was the perfect amount of cream and sweetness. The taste didn't overpower the coffee, which is nice. Their mochi donuts were good, too, with the consistency of mochi dough. Definitely would make another stop here if I'm ever around!

They are located outdoors within a repurposed trimet station, which add such a a unique Portland touch to their vibe. Although usually a 1-2 person operation, drinks always come out relatively quick! I tried the tiramisu latte and the black sesame latte. The tiramisu latte was easily my favorite. The cream top is rich and delicious, and when mixed into the coffee it really tastes like a classic tiramisu dessert. It's sweet, smooth, and feels like a treat without being overwhelming. The black sesame latte was also great, especially if you like nutty flavors. It has a natural sweetness with a deep roasted sesame taste that almost reminds me of peanut butter, making it both comforting and unique. I've also had their regular latte before and really appreciate the quality of their espresso. The coffee itself has a smooth, balanced flavor that stands out even without added syrups or toppings. A great spot to visit if you enjoy creative specialty drinks but still want genuinely good coffee underneath it all.
