She said it was the best shaved ice she's ever had and way better than any she even had in Hawaii. I was intrigued and suggested to my husband we stop by after dinner one night. This cafe is soooo cute. I'm here on vacation and trying not to work, but if i needed to work for a few hours I would definitely go here. I'd work and eat one dessert after another. The mango shaved ice was even better than expected. It was ginormous and I was full from dinner, but did a pretty good job eating most of it because it was too delicious to stop. My husband got a piece of blueberry cheesecake and i couldn't help, but have a few bites of that as well. I was hoping to make it back a second (or third) time, but sadly don't think we are going to have time. Another reason to come back to Asheville and it may just be my first stop!

Loved their menu as well. Although their mini cakes and other treats appealed to me as well, I opted to try their Taro Shaved Ice (they had 2 other flavors as well...think Mango and Mocha?). Well, their Taro Shaved Ice was PERFECT!!! The shaved ice was nice and dry, and the toppings (Boba, Lychee jelly, and Strawberries...even whipped cream on top) were generous and delicious! LOVED the place...and I can't wait to return! My husband will absolutely loved their version of Shaved Ice...What a treat to come!

It's a great spot to read a book at or come to with a friend. The people who work here are really social and kind. My best friend and I were in town and wanting a little afternoon treat. I'm blanking on the name, but I really enjoyed their new watermelon coconut iced tea. My best friend got a butterfly pea iced tea. There is plenty of seating available. If you want more natural lighting you can sit at the front with chair and tables. If you want something more moody and intimate in the back they have lower tables and pillows for a more traditional tea experience. I highly recommend checking this spot out.

A TV show was blasting at top volume in the kitchen area and it was not enjoyable for me to sit and enjoy my lunch.

They have options for those who want to sit at a table and for those who want to sit on the floor. The tea selections are far and wide! The menu is huge! At first I was overwhelmed with the options, but the lady at the counter was nice and helpful with recommendations. We were bummed to have missed out on the lunch since the kitchen closes at 3pm, but that made us even more eager to come back at another time. Both dessert options we chose - the S'mores Tart and Black Sesame Ginger Cake - were delicious! I chose the masala tea with rooibos with oat milk and honey. I loved the way it was served, and even though I usually drink my tea straight, it was fun to experiment with the milk and honey. I will definitely be coming back many more times and check out their other locations too!

The photographs of bondage and words like "slut" are not what I want to look at with my child when I am sipping a coffee. Staff were complaining about pay and customers while I sat and sipped. Also not great. I've worked service industry jobs, we all have complaints, but maybe don't yell about it over the espresso machine to another co-worker who is sitting on the couch. Unprofessional, uncomfortable. Those are words I would use to describe this place. Would've been cool to see books there that were not fantasy. Seems like a pretty exclusive place, catering to people who like anime, bondage, and talking crap. Pretty unfortunate because the place is cute. Won't be returning.

The place looked to be in decent shape, though like much of the region they had water quality concerns that limited what they could do. Upon asking, I discerned that despite the rebrand, they were still offering boba tea in addition to coffee.

Everything we had (we shared several dishes) was absolutely delicious!!! We started with the cheese board, and added the special broccolini of the evening. The ravioli and the piccata were amazing (yes, we ate too much, but brought some home ). For a Wednesday night, the place was very busy, so it's obvious Asheville appreciates and understands good food. Now...if I could find a place like this in Wilmington, I could possibly become a true vegan convert. Thank you to the owner, and AJ, who made our experience so stellar! (And thanks for playing the Dolly track in the background...a beautiful tribute with the outstanding meal).
