Through and through I have always been greeted with a smile, no matter which employee is working. Including the owner, she is just a phenomenal human being. The inside is always clean and with the summer here, the A/C is always running. It makes this the perfect refuge for the 107° heat. Back to the seasonal menu!! What also stands out is the Mango Pomelo Sago. Being Filipino, I grew up around sago - it's a staple in many desserts. I wish I could describe how incredible this drink is. How fresh the fruit is and how refreshing it tastes. I am already getting FOMO for when they take it off their seasonal menu.

I have gone multiple times & every time my drink tastes exactly the same as before regardless of what staff is working or the time of day. The service is also top tier. They are all very kind, professional, & informative. They all seem to enjoy working there & keep a calm & zen environment regardless of it always being super packed & busy. My only complaint is that they aren't open earlier/later. Definitely recommend for any matcha lovers!

We came in for the Neopets promotion and ordered the "Aisha" bubble tea. It was just the right amount of sweet, with fresh, soft boba with just the right amount of chewiness. The counter folk were friendly and when we asked to buy the promotional blind box we were informed that they were sold out but they let us buy the display item which really made my day! I'll for sure be back, even though it's a bit out of my way.

I set my things at a table to decide before ordering a small Spiced Chai Latte and a Gouda Morning Sandwich. Substituted the Ciabatta Bun with Honey Oat Wheat, and it, like all their breakfast sandwiches, was served with a side of fresh fruit. Everything was so good, I had to force myself to slow down to enjoy each sip and bite. Clean and a great place to study or work. I plan to revisit, dine, study, and work here again soon.

Pastries and crepes also look to die for, and I will be indulging in more when i come back again. Service is quick, friendly, and accomodating. Baristas seem happy to go out of their way to help patrons. I was here for a while getting some work done and it was nice to hear them helping people out. Ambiance is also very nice. Gives almost a loft-like feeling, and I can find myself coming in more often if i had lived closer. Came in for the first time and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, and as someone with less experience drinking coffee, I am looking forward to the next time I will be in the area. The owner Nishi has created a comforting, relaxing place to take a break from life, and the baristas do an amazing job executing on that vision.

Their Nutella crepes are delicious, but get a bit sweet after a while. Next of all, the MEH: the boba is only alright. I would appreciate a bigger menu and more toppings, like lychee jelly or mango jelly. Service is alright. It usually takes a while, but not an hour long while. Honestly, I don't really have anything negative to report, just meh, average parts. Will I be back? Probably. But only for hang outs though (for the vibes), but this won't be the first boba place on my list to go with friends or by myself.

The matcha tasted like straight water that was colored green. No matcha flavor or oat milk. I tried to order something different, but the barista told me she didn't know how to make it even though it was on their menu board as soon as you walk in. Gave the place another shot & tried an iced latte with lavender & oat milk. Zero flavor of lavender & tasted like water that had been soaked in coffee beans. I was genuinely so confused how they are comfortably selling people any of this. The location is convenient, aesthetically pleasing, & very kid friendly with a kids corner inside. Everything else was a hard no. I'm hoping something drastically changes to be able to receive an even decent drink. Iced Matcha Latte + Oat Milk: 0/10 Iced Lavender Latte + Oat Milk: 0/10

You order at the counter and they bring you your food. They missed an item we ordered, and what did come was very meh. The egg skillet thing was very insubstantial for the price. 2 little eggs topped with a bunch of very salty cream sauce with a slice of toasted sourdough. The crowaffle was mid and the lattes we ordered were not great. Not much flavor, just super sweet. Also $1.50 add on for oat milk is pretty ridiculous. You want great flavorful coffee, go to Chez Maryse. My daughter got the chia seed pudding and lavender latte which she said was gross and gave her stomach problems afterwards. She had come here before bc everyone she knew seems to love this place- BUT she thought it wasn't that great but ended up receiving a bunch of gift cards to use. I don't think we will come here again though - there are way better options.

Definitely one of my favorite spots. Highly recommend!

I need to go back and get me one of their good delicious lattes. They have different flavors. Also next time I might get some of their sweet pastries. They have a bakery there so they are fresh.

This dish comes with eggs, waffles, bacon, toast and fries. That's a lot of food on a small plate. My waffles got soggy near the eggs and the bread was underneath everything and I didn't even notice it until I dug through everything. Service was hit and miss. We got water in the beginning and then were ignored after the meal arrived. My friend asked if there was any jelly or jam for the toast and the waitress arrived 15 minutes later saying that wasn't an option and we could get hot sauce if we wanted. Overall it was ok
