They also have a dedicated mini room where people will print out pictures of themselves with a free nearby photo printer and tape it to the wall. This wall also doubles up as a gigantic chalk board. The drinks are delicious! Classic foam top heavy drinks that perfectly complement the coffee underneath that they roast themselves on-site. I got their Tiramisu cream latte and Banana kick matcha latte. Both were delicious. If you like tiramisu then you'll like this. The banana matcha latte is perfect for those who like bananas and/or matcha. They're creamy and not too sweet. They also have an entire brunch menu as well. So this place is more than just a spot for studying and socializing. We got their Dutch baby pancake which was very filling on it's own. But the highlight of our meal was their Tortilla Pizza Truffle mushroom. We had never heard of a tortilla pizza before but it was surprisingly delicious. The tortilla allows you to focus on everything above it which is exactly what I wanted! Highly recommended!

Laura and Carol were especially warm, cheerful, and attentive, which made the experience even better. We ordered the chilaquiles and the breakfast sandwich, and both were fantastic. The chilaquiles were fresh and full of flavor with crispy tortilla chips topped with a rich green sauce, egg, cheese, and red onion. The breakfast sandwich was a generous portion on a warm brioche bun with thick bacon, egg, chipotle sauce, and fresh greens. We also tried the churros, which were clearly made fresh to order. They were not overly sweet, perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft inside. The horchata coffee was absolutely divine and something I would come back just for. Everything here is made fresh, and you can taste the difference. The outdoor seating area with music created such a joyful, relaxing atmosphere and made the whole morning feel special.

We understand places get busy with little staff but the cashier/barista yelled at both my boyfriend and her co worker. When I ordered there was four seperate customers behind me which we all ordered similar items as me. We thought she called our order first which was a misunderstanding on our part the barista then yelled at her co worker saying "it's not his" "i said it's not his" then when my boyfriend backs up she yells "it's not yours!" It was a simple mistake but did not mean she could yell at her co worker and a paying customer. Like I said we understand first hand being understaffed since my boyfriend and I work in the hospitality/food business. But the barista was just wiping the counter while she had 4 drinks without lids then it took her even longer to take our order plus 2 other customers orders came out when we all ordered similar items (just beverages.)

Parking is a bit cramped, but I've always managed to secure a spot for my quick morning pick ups. Given the size of the shop, it can get crowded - but the service is top-tier. Quick, efficient, and friendly (but not overly friendly) workers that get the line moving fast, emptying the shop at an equally fast rate. You can't go wrong with their signature sweet, creamy Iced Mint Mojito or the Silken Splendor Cold Brew. But be sure to try any employee recs/concoctions occasionally posted on the chalkboards. Overall, no complaints on my end.

Everything felt super clean and state of the art machines to making the drinks. We ordered the chamomile tea, coconut matcha cloud, Amai special coffee, and Vietnamese coffee. Chamomile Tea - 3.5/5 it's not bad but it did come from a tea bag so nothing special and was not made in house. Coconut Matcha Cloud - 5/5 was extremely refreshing and balanced so well with the matcha. It definitely was a waker upper. You definitely taste the coconut and a hint of matcha Amai special coffee - 4.5/5 was definitely a huge kicker but also extremely strong and bold. It does come with 2 espresso shots as is Vietnamese coffee - 5/5 definitely hit the right spot for me.

This review is regarding a visit on June 1 between approximately 12:10 PM and 12:30 PM…read more I am leaving this feedback as a regular customer who has purchased different matcha drinks from this business on multiple occasions. I have consistently enjoyed visiting this location, which is why I am sharing this experience in detail rather than simply not returning. On this visit, I ordered the House Matcha with almond milk and paid $7.75. The drink was significantly underfilled, which resulted from my request for no ice. While I understand that removing ice can affect volume, the amount of empty space at the top of the cup made it feel like I received less than a full drink despite paying the full price. In addition, I was charged for an almond milk substitution, which further contributed to the expectation of a properly filled drink. The cup size also raised concerns. I recently ordered a Banana Cream Matcha at the same price point and received a noticeably larger cup. On this visit, the House Matcha was served in a smaller cup, and even the sleeve did not fit correctly. The combination of a smaller cup and reduced fill level created an inconsistency in value that was immediately noticeable. The most significant issue was that the drink contained no sweetness at all. The House Matcha is described as "perfectly sweet matcha" and includes agave syrup, so it is reasonable to expect sweetness as part of the standard preparation. Instead, the drink was completely unsweetened. There was no communication during ordering that sweetness needed to be selected separately, and in prior visits I have never been asked about sweetness level. This is also not the first time I have received a matcha drink without sweetness despite it being described otherwise. By the time I realized, I had already left the store and was unable to return due to time commitments, and it does not feel reasonable that multiple preparation issues should require a return visit. It is also concerning that there is no clear pricing listed next to the different matcha options in the matcha section of the menu. The lack of visible prices makes it difficult to understand the cost of each drink at the point of ordering and reduces transparency for customers. From a broader perspective, consistency issues across cup size, fill level, and recipe execution affect the overall experience. I regularly purchase specialty drinks and would be comfortable paying $7.75 if the product consistently matched the menu description, portioning was accurate, and expectations were clearly communicated at the point of sale. As someone who visits this plaza several times per month, I would genuinely like to continue supporting this business and have consistently positive experiences. That depends on clearer communication, more consistent preparation standards, and attention to detail during both ordering and fulfillment. At home, I am able to prepare matcha easily using a variety of milks, including almond, oat, coconut, cashew, pistachio, banana, and pea protein, along with simple sweeteners such as agave, maple syrup, honey, and organic brown sugar. I also keep ingredients such as whipped cream, sea salt, strawberries on hand, blueberries, and mango, allowing me to make specialty drinks like strawberry matcha, blended matcha with frozen strawberries, or other customized variations. Because of that, the value of a café drink comes down to consistency, accuracy, and convenience rather than ingredients alone. If issues such as inconsistent cup sizes, underfilling, missing ingredients, or unclear customization options are occurring across orders, it may point to a need for improved staff training and clearer standardization. Addressing these areas would likely improve the experience for both regular and first-time customers. I hope this feedback is received as constructive input from a returning customer meant to improve overall customer satisfaction and repeat business.
