    Pistachio muffin
    Arlene B.

    Service was great, but unfortunately this is my second time trying this place and again my pastry I got the pistachio muffin and it was stale and hard when I cut it in half. My friend tried an iced latte and she said it was ok. I did get a refund on my muffin i couldn't even finish eating it. The girl was really nice and understanding. The muffin looked yummy tho

    Was really craving a cheesecake, saw on their website there was only mango cheesecake but when I went and to my surprise, they were selling the viral basque cheesecake which is basically burnt cheesecake. Not the best cheesecake I've had, not sure if the whipped cream needed to be added, could be fluffier, sweetness was good, for $14 I don't think it was worth it..

    Citrus croissant
    Yesenia M.

    I have lost my sense of taste and smell (not COVID-related), so my review is based mostly on my overall experience. During my visit, I had a citrus croissant and an iced almond milk latte. I chose the citrus croissant because I can sometimes taste citrus notes, so I was excited to try it. Unfortunately, the flavor didn't come through, and the filling-to-dough ratio was low, which was disappointing... but due to my condition don't take my word for it on the flavor! The main reason for my three-star rating are the fruit flies. There were so many that my friend didn't even want to order. I only ordered because I didn't see them in the ordering area, it was when I sat down that I realized how problematic it was. Throughout our visit, we were constantly swatting them away until it became too annoying to stay. Aside from that, the place is cute, and I made a friend, so it wasn't a total bummer. However, I wish they would address the flies.

    Mint and lemon refresher - sooo gross tastes like mouthwash
    Mia M.

    Only one worker and terrible drinks. We wandered into this cafe thinking it looked cute and were extremely disappointed. The only reason this place doesn't have 1 star is because they have ample seating and a restroom, which can be hard to find in many cafes. There was one person working to both take all the orders and make the drinks, and it was relatively busy with a fairly steady stream of people coming in. Because of this, it took 20 minutes for our drinks, which were just syrup, seltzer water, and ice. He also wasn't friendly at all, but I wouldn't be either if I had his job. I can't really fault the employee for this since he was running the entire place, but it led to one of us being late for a meeting and was overall frustrating. In addition to the ridiculous wait, the drinks were awful. In particular, the lemon and mint refresher. I was expecting a lemon water with some mint leaves on top, but instead it had some blue syrup that tasted exactly like mouth wash. It felt like something that I wasn't supposed to swallow. I've never thrown out a drink before since drinks are so expensive now, but after about a quarter of this cup I couldn't do it and had to dump it out. Do not come here, there have to be better places on the blocks nearby.

    Pistachio Mousse cake
    Komal R.

    I have been really looking forward to trying them since I first saw the pictures of their pastries. They all look so pretty. I tried the Pistachio mousse which has really soft texture and the Pistachio flavor really comes through. My husband got the Passion fruit mousse and I thought it was okay - it is almost like you expect that sweet and tangy flavor so it is not really a surprise to the taste buds. We also got the cold Rose and Taro lattes. I wasn't particularly impressed by either because the espresso overpowered both the Rose and Taro flavors - I think it those two taste much better in a Milk Tea format.

    Amazing drinks, selections of desserts and ambiance. Came a few times while passing by, and each time, I enjoyed everything I got! ;) I have to come back to try their breakfast sandwiches and their fruity drinks because all I order is their Ube Latte. And their ube latte tastes so authentic. None of the artificial ube taste! Def recommend checking out this super cute shop

    Rose and Lychee cake

    The food was very pretty and delicious! The workers were also nice. No complaints! I will definitely be coming back.

    Super clean inside! I got the matcha latte which could use more matcha, a bit milky. The ube muffin was moist and unique. Service is quick and attentive.

    The service the vibe the pastry's and drinks all tie well as the perfect gift for yourself. Love this place it's actually a gem. They have this lychee refresher drink that slaps all the teas and coffees I've had here have all been great and the pastries are amazing. Don't sleep on cake & joe

    Super cute cafe that recently opened in Fishtown. I've been to the South Philly location as well. This review is for the cake since I did not order drinks this time. I purchased a passion fruit cake and it was delicious! It was soo pretty, presentation gets an A++ . My asian parents who constantly complain that every cake is too sweet actually really enjoyed it. It is a little pricey for how much cake you get but it was able to feed at least 8 people. I think I got a small cake and it cost around $45 not including tax. I ordered online and the pick up process was smooth. Defintely will be back!

    Chocolate mousse, who moved my cheese, matcha light cake
    Julie K.

    The layout and seating inside is nice! Who moved my cheese is a unique taste & experience of just simply.... cheese. I would say it's a one-time purchase. Matcha light cake was super clean in that what you would think would be a vanilla frosting actually tastes like nothing and dilutes the chocolate and matcha flavors. Texture was nice though flavors were lacking. Chocolate mousse was a decent chocolate mouse with a crunchy bottom. The highlights were the refresher drinks! I hear good things about their coffee so maybe I'll try that out with some food and avoid the pastries next time.

I ordered a green iced tea which was delicious, and then sat and worked. Wi-fi is solid here, and the outlets are plentiful. I especially like having seats with backs and sizable tables at the right height... when you're working from cafes the small details make a difference. Even though the espresso machine was down, the staff were still friendly and pretty calm about the whole ordeal (although some customers were not). Appreciate a friend face, a quiet space to work, and a nice vibe to relax in for the day. Will stop by again when I'm in Old City!

The sandwiches were tasty, although the bread was a bit too crispy. I usually love crispy bread, but this was very, very crispy and slightly overdone for my preference. The biggest disappointment was the egg -- it had that pre-made/frozen egg texture and appearance, which I didn't expect from this type of establishment. Overall, I'd still return for the coffee and the cute atmosphere.

Idk I've never been like this before. But I enjoyed this one. I put in my own honey at the self serve station. This station is where a line naturally forms, so I'd be aware of this as I see this could be stressful for the baristas went taking/handing out orders. The matcha was smooth, a little overpowered by whatever syrup you add to it. They told me they batch make the matcha with vanilla syrup that cannot be taken out. So any add ons is too much in my opinion. The color was a good deep shade of green though. I prefer having this problem with my matcha over only being able to taste milk. A problem I've had with so many other coffee shops. Syrups are made in house!

As their name suggests, they offer a wide selection of macarons, all of which look delicious. They also have various sweet and savory pastries, coffees, teas, and lemonades. I've only had their hot tea, so I can't speak on the other drinks; I do appreciate the variety and uniqueness of the tea flavors offered as those aren't usually highlighted much.
