The shop is clean and stylish, and the drinks come in reusable glasses and mugs, rather than defaulting to plastic cups. There is not a dedicated parking lot (it is stationed beside an apartment complex), but there is some street parking available in easy walking distance. The servers are friendly and quick, and there is a wide but not overwhelming variety of drink (mostly coffee/espresso and some matcha) and food (cake slices, waffles, and dessert toasts) options available. You can also preorder whole cakes from them. The coffee is decent, but I find that $7 is a little steep for a latte that doesn't really stand out. I can sort of justify it by thinking that I'm also paying for the lovely space to work as well. The desserts are also a bit pricy, at around $10 per piece (and the pieces aren't huge). Overall, I had a pleasant experience here and would absolutely recommend it if you're looking for a place to sit down for a while to read, study, or relax, despite the somewhat pricy menu.

For such a small space, they really knocked it out of the park when it came to the overall vibe and aesthetic. It's the perfect girly café to surprise someone with on a date or simply to catch up with a few girlfriends. We ordered the strawberry matcha and banana matcha, and the drinks are a great bang for your buck considering how large they are--my husband and I honestly could've shared one. The strawberry matcha had a pleasant, jammy fruit flavor that paired nicely with the matcha. I was especially impressed by the banana matcha, which is made with fresh bananas. You could really taste the difference, and thankfully, it didn't have that artificial banana flavor at all. The matcha itself is fairly standard in terms of quality, so I think their flavored drinks are where this place really shines. If you're a matcha purist looking for something more ceremonial or matcha-forward, this probably wouldn't be my first pick. But if you're in the mood for a fun, flavorful matcha drink in an incredibly cute setting, this place absolutely delivers. For what they're going for, it's an easy 5/5 for me. The portions are generous, the flavored matchas are tasty, and the beautiful interior makes the whole experience that much more enjoyable. I'd definitely come back to try more of their specialty drinks!

It was quiet on Sunday mornings inside, but lines are popular at times and getting orders ready can take more than 15 minutes depending on what you ordered. Chicken pate chaud tasted good and the half size veggie Banh Mi sandwich was decently stuffed with vegetables with very crumby and crispy soft bread texture. Fresh. Packaging was convenient. My lotus coconut beverage was good in size too. I ordered from the easy self service kiosk. My server greeted me and took care of my needs over the counter. I tried many items on the menu before, including latte, matcha beverages, coconut matcha beverage when it existed, Vietnamese coffee, teas, all types pate chaud, buttered croissants, other banh mi sandwiches, etc. Convenience is key. Some of the matcha beverages with fruits is too sweet for my tastebuds though. It feels like they're focused on food/beverage quality nowadays. Wait times can still be longer than expected at times, but the last few employees I came across were actually more productive with better training. It can turn out to be a hit or miss experience at times. Environment is decent and modern with good upkeep. It's pretty comfortable inside when there are lesser crowds and long lines for sure.

This is one of the most wonderful places I have ever visited…read more First, I had no idea what was going on today. I heard Cat Cafe but thought it would be a cafe and there would be some cats in a window. This is fully play time with a group of sweet adorable cats! We had so much fun! The cats are mostly relaxing with a few playing and doing funny cat things. The usual. Leaping around, looking for stuffed fish and trying to surprise each other. I have an idea that instead of going to see a therapist, go see the cats!! We were so tired when we got there. A cup of the most delicious coffee in the world also happens to be prepared at this magical place!! i had a warm cookie butter coffee and it was amazing!!! I got a taste of other flavors and they were unbelievable!! Truly the best coffee I've ever had. We had a long day and the cup of coffee in hand you get to sit in a two story area with the most joyful innocent creatures. They just want to make friends and learn how to make someone happy. This is good for everyone. By the time we left, we were smiling, relaxed and very happy. If you get a chance, please make a reservation for some wonderful cat affection. They don't care how your hair is cut or what shoes you're wearing. They are nice warm animals and to have a lovely cat for some affection is one of life's most wonderful pleasures. I've got a few friends who could really benefit from an hour with a beautiful ball of sweetness. Highly recommend.

They used to provide slippers but recently changed to shoe covers instead. Drinks/snacks should be monitored just in case a kitty accidentally spills yours! The owners/workers are sweet and you can tell they care about the cats here a lot. Drinks are quite nice as well, but I primarily come from the cats. They do introduce new drinks/snacks so the menu doesn't get old for me. At some point, I believe they also offered discounted prices during weekday work hours and a monthly package, but I haven't followed up on the most recent details regarding that :) Glad to see this business doing well and hope to see it around for a long time!

First of all, they use there bare hands to prep the food (not up to code). Second, the Asian lady who is the order taker asks you "what you want" I don't think that's an appropriate way to take somones order. They just seem like they don't want to be there. and then from my total of 17.98$ for two sandwiches she got mad because I didn't tip the minimum of 6$ that the machine was proposing and she got mad and stormed away. This place is totally not a vibe. It's really bad service in my eyes. Good luck through the winter. read more

The prices are to die for, this is my go to place for a quick breakfast fix or well deserved snack. The guy that serves the donuts and rings up customers is super cute and friendly. He even gave me free donut holes once, totally made my day. They even take credit card with NO minimums. How lovely is that. The decor is not awesome, and a bit dated, but the nostalgia wins me over every time. read more

There was a good amount of premade custard filled donut holes on display. Despite them being prefilled and on display, the donut holes were still crispy and not soggy! I was delighted from the first bite. The prefilled donut holes are different from the regular ones. They are glazed and more similar to a cream puff which makes them super tasty. I love the irregular shapes of each of them and how big they were. The cream puff texture is what makes this custard filled donut holes not feel heavy when you eat them. Very yummy and addicting. The service was okay. I was greeted by both ladies at the counter and the worker who had assisted me seemed very attentive. I got a dozen cream filled donut holes which were 8.99. I would say thats pretty expensive but for about .75 cents per donut hole, i'd say it's worth it. The ambiance was okay but for a donut shop I wouldn't really say that matters. The inside is a bit outdated but most people come and go anyways. The display looked clean too. I went to the location on Berryessa.

First impression is great beverage menu selections and for $6.69 a cup, it's actually a very large and tall cup. Not bad at all. Varieties are good. I didn't see a menu with snacks and sandwiches though. Not sure if it's hidden somewhere else today. Credit cards are accepted. Cute decorations. There's plenty of small tables for two people and some long tables inside. Outside is very basic. Narrow space. Not huge. I went for the coconut matcha cloud beverage. The cashier wasn't at the counter for minutes, but she's definitely in the kitchen. She turned out to be an older lady with Buddhism religious vibes. It took a bit longer, maybe 10-12 minutes before she was able to assist me and make my drink. When I got the beverage, it looked much more different than expected for coconut matcha cloud drink. It's more like very light matcha taste with jelly in it. I didn't taste coconut in mine. Perhaps I was thinking about the cloud beverages at other places that are more cloudy white blue and green in colors. Overall, it was still hydrating and the size is good value. I'll try something else next time, especially if they do have Banh Mi sandwiches here. I really didn't see a menu for that. Glad they're open today.
