Came here with a couple friends and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The cafe itself is…read moresomewhat small but they managed to fit a good amount of seating inside and outside as well. The interior is cute since the building is basically a house. The service was friendly and the menu had a good amount of options. I ordered the brown sugar matcha latte which in my opinion was much too sweet. I typically prefer a stronger matcha taste so it may come down to preference. I thought there was too much syrup and the brown sugar flavor overpowered the matcha. I did try the drink without mixing first and the matcha by itself was fine. My friends' drink (banana bread latte and sparkling ade) tasted good so I would recommend their coffee and sparkling ades. On to the croffle, this was by far the highlight. The croffles come out fresh and warm, the croffle itself has that chewy and moist texture but crunchy on the outside. The cream was very fresh and tasty, not too heavy and not too sweet. The matcha flavor in the cream was definitely there for the matcha croffle. We also got the black sesame croffle and biscoff croffle which were amazing too. Overall, I would 100% come back for the croffle, coffee, and good vibes.

I made my first visit to Cheongsu, a super homey Korean cafe featuring drinks, pastries, and desserts. Given the weather, I went with their strawberry matcha bingsu. It was the perfect size for two people to share. I loved how thoughtfully it was layered--between the shaved ice, they added strawberry and matcha sauces, topped it off with shaved milk ice and sweet cream, and finished it with plenty of matcha powder and fresh strawberries. Such a lovely spot for a group of four or less to catch up over light bites and good drinks.

I would say Service is pretty nonexistent as you order on the counter and you see yourself with no waitressing. The cashier lady was also pretty rude and not accomodating to my request (make my drinks less sweet) so they lose a store for that. Atmosphere is cute and vibes are great, definitely has modern and traditional Korean vibes. However, I would not say that this is like a traditional tea house? Having been to A LOT of tea houses in Korea, their menu and concept is definitely far from what a traditional teahouse is like. For instance, a traditional teahouse would have assorted rice, cakes and traditional, Korean desserts, however, I feel like this place used modern French pastries, and put a Korean twist on them, which I would say is not very Korean in reality. Baked goods were OK. It tasted stale. Losing a star for that as well.

What a cute little cafe in downtown Fort Lee. I was craving some strawberry matcha and found out…read morethey have teddy bear matchas here! Naturally, I had to check it out. As a strawberry matcha lover, this is what I went for. To my surprise, they also were serving pho! They had three types of pho on the menu, so I went with the chicken pho. My chicken pho came out very quickly and first. This was delicious and I could tell it was made with so much love. I also loved the lemongrass flavor they added to it. It was a very generous portion for the price. Shortly after, my strawberry teddy bear matcha was served. This was just the perfect balance of sweetness from the strawberry and earthiness from the matcha. The teddy bear on top was the cutest touch. Overall, the food/drinks were delicious, the ambiance was adorable, the staff were friendly, and the items were very affordable. I would love to visit again!

While deciding on what to order, the owner offered to make me a drink that was off the menu. How about a mixed one with strawberry, Matcha and coconut? Hey, if the boss is recommending it I'm all for it. My son got the ube and coconut. OMG, both drinks were so darn yummy. I am not an ube fan whatsoever, but my son insisted I take a sip. I have to say it was the best ube drink I have ever tried. The coconut mixed with the strawberry and matcha is a game changer. The teddy bear made of ice was so cute and makes for a cool IG pic. The owner was sweet enough to ask if we liked it. I gave her the thumbs up and said they were excellent and that we will be back. Oddly they also serve pho here, it's not a restaurant per se. We didn't have any so I can't comment. But definitely come for these yummy Vietnamese concoctions. Street meter parking only.

They have allergen info You can also buy organic coffee bags and strawberry preserves from France to bring home Inside, they have tables with chairs, a high counter with bar stools, a couch with a coffee table, and even a kid's table with a bench, perfect for kids to have fun, including by drawing with commentary material to do so and then hang on the walls Outside there are a couple of tables and chairs too It also features a spacious bathroom There's Wi-Fi Etc etc etc I originally came for the name; I came back for the taste & atmosphere In short: highly recommended!

The owner is very kind, and everyone working there is just as friendly. The drinks are excellent. My favorite is the black sesame - it's packed with flavor and has just the right hint of sweetness. The coffee is tasty, and the prices are very reasonable. The scones and cookies always taste fresh and homemade - not frozen or processed. My personal favorites are the peanut butter cookie and the plain scone. They make everything there! I haven't tried the cakes yet, but it's on my list! It's a smaller space, but they've done a great job fitting in tables. I actually love that they're a bit closer together - it creates a more social, community feel. I've ended up having conversations with people around me (I've even practiced my French with a stranger!), which is something we don't get enough of these days. Overall, such a cozy, welcoming addition to the neighborhood. I come here a couple of times a week to work!

I've been here a few times and to be quite honest - I am grateful this place is a drive from me because I would eat here every day. The coffees are both unique and tasty (a bit on the milky side, but I like that), and the pastry were as fresh as could be. Not to mention, the place itself is lovely. When it's nice outside, they open the windows so you can sit and enjoy the fresh air while still being inside. Each time I've gone, the staff has been excellent too - super polite and willing to answer questions about the pastry. I've only had the coffee here, so I can't speak to their match or non-coffee drinks. Also, I am dying to try their cheesy Knafa, but it's so big I need someone to share it with!

Sweet food: bingsu (shaved ice), waffles, bubble waffles, pastries, crispy banana chips... Drinks: all sorts of coffee including their signature coffee seasalt (hot or iced), tea, bubble tea (hot or iced), matcha latte, ade, lemonade... I personally first had: - Tuna mayo kimbap - Strawberry matcha latte (made with with real fruit) - Taro shaved ice (with icecream & red beans too) I loved it so much that I came back the following day, for my last day in the neighborhood, this time having: - Tempura shrimp udon (served with kimchi) - Mango ade (made with real fruit) - Strawberry and banana waffle (served with whipped cream and ice cream) - Taro bubble tea (that I chose to have hot) And I have to say it was all SO delicious! Worth noting, better come early to have the maximum choice if kimbap as they are freshly made in the morning and can sell out fast ; and for cooked food available upon request, kitchen closes at 1PM so make sure to arrive before A few extra things to mention: For convenience they have a bathroom as well, and Wi-Fi There are claw machines for fun Korean music is played, making one feel even more in Korea The last but not the least, staff is super efficient / professional My favorite coffee shop in Palisades Park, no doubt Highly recommend!
