I spent about two hours here enjoying the quiet vibes before the afternoon rush brought in a wave of other laptop users, turning it into a focused, communal workspace. The Highlight: The absolute standout of my session was the Matcha Baby Blue. It was incredible, balanced, refreshing, and visually stunning. It was so good that I've already decided I'll be back to work my way through all their different matcha combinations. The Verdict: Whether you need a serene spot to start your day or a modern environment to power through some projects, this place hits the mark. Great vibes and even better drinks, the Matcha Baby Blue is a total game-changer!

They have a creative and unique selection of drink specials - I got the rosey cheeks, which I think was a rose latte. It was good, but leaned on the sweeter side and the coffee flavor was somewhat less visible.

Fun coffee shop that has fun drinks to try!…read more I tried the Strawberry Matcha, and I liked that you could customize the sweetness level. Every shop make Strawberry Matchas different (whether they use jam, puree, or syrups) - so it's hard to gaze how sweet it will come out. I've had matchas that were so sweet because of the strawberry, to the point where I couldn't finish it. So I appreciate that the option to pick sweetness level exists.

The echo inside was notable so we chose outside today. I am making this our routine start when I meet up with a homie every few months in this area. I tried to order a Ricotta Jam Toast that was posted in photos on their Yelp but as happens it must have been a retired offering. I will have to do it home. The morning was cool, so I was going to go for "hot drip" but needed decaf today (sadly) so I chose an ICED LATTE. They do offer house made flavors, but I forgot to ask which they offer. Maple would be my preference. ICED LATTE: -- whole milk taste -- smooth -- not sour or bitter -- perfect java to milk color in cup -- tasty RATING = A+ Love the proximity to Colorado Ave but in a cooler tree lined spot.

small tea shop in Pasadena, seem like a nice little shop to do work in as they have free Wi-Fi…read more They have some seating but mostly just seats by the wall. Aesthetics in the shop is pretty nice, very modern and bright, perfect spot to do work. Parking - Shared with Afters Ice Cream right across, very small parking lot, 4 spots only. Street parking is available but the street itself is a one way street. My wife and I both shared the Onyx Hojicha MT and the Oreo Uji Matcha, both were very refreshing as the day was pretty warm. The drinks came out pretty fast as well so props to the staff for preparing them quickly. The matcha is not very overwhelming which is always a good sign to see when you purchase matcha drinks. Oreo mixed with matcha is always a solid choice for me so I recommend this drink when you visit. Overall, a very simple but high quality shop, it's a bit on the expensive side when it comes to tea shops but it's definitely worth checking them out as their drinks are on the higher quality side.

The viscosity of the drink was strangely off putting and the flavor felt like they put pudding powder inside or something. For $7, I was expecting something more fragrant or sophisticated in flavor. But it was pretty one toned and sugary at best. Servers here were really nice. I asked if the owners were Taiwanese but they didn't know.

Took me a ht minute to decide but ultimately landed on the ube latte with pandan foam. My drink was ready to go and I couldn't wait for that first sip. Yum! There was a strong, rich flavored espresso followed by the sweet, nutty flavor of the ube and pandan mix. I checked out their Instagram page and I might just have to follow them around. There's a whole menu left to explore. Hope to run passed their location again soon.
