I have gone here a few times years apart since visiting and I have always enjoyed this cafe. I have…read moregotten a matcha here in the past that was okay, but their fall drinks currently look so good. This time around I tried something they offer by reservation called afternoon tea for $40. We each got to pick a tea for our tea pot and had about 8 options. The tea itself wasn't anything special. We tried the chai and the alforno blend which both didn't taste very strong. The afternoon tea deal also came with a snack tower, the bottom consisting of savory sandwich bites, and the top two levels with pastries and sweets. The things that stood out to me were the lemon meringue, fruit tart, and the carrot cake (the cream cheese frosting was really tasty). Overall, this was a super cute and fun thing to try. I'd definitely recommend it if you want to try little bites of various things they carry.

Dreamy! Wow, we…read morescoped this out on our walk and had to come back. This morning we stopped in for brunch and could not help but order two meals. One for now and a ham and brie sandwich for later. Everything was so delicious and fresh. I had the brisket bowl with scrambled eggs. So amazing. I want to replicate this at home but fear it will take some work. The gremalata was superior. The cronut was so light and almost melted in your mouth. The raspberry filled coconut cookie was chewy and light. The breakfast with sausage eggs and potatoes and toast was enough for two. We couldn't begin to eat it all and took some away for later. Love this place. Wish we had one. We received multiple recommendations to try this from locals as well. Lots of seating. Craft coffees. Bakery and savory and food for all hours. This is the spot for you!!

What I love about this place is how inclusive it is while being so flavor forward…read more Our group had vegetarians, vegans, pescatarians, folks with walnut allergy and dairy intolerance and we all found plenty of options to pick from and try the range. Vegan breakfast options that too savory are hard to come by. You're limited to soy or coconut yogurt or just potatoes but this place had buddha bowl, tofu bowl, ramen, salads. So many options. Additionally they can make modifications to accomodate any requirements. We had our coffees made with soy milk and sugar free syrup. Everything is plated so beautifully. Super fast and friendly service. You must reserve ahead online a day before atleast before you go to ensure they confirm a spot because the seating is limited. In addition to kitchen items they also have a small bakery shelf for banana breads or anything else. 10/10 would recommend.

I had a very uncomfortable experience at this café. The male owner, Zack, was dismissive from the…read morestart. We were shocked to find another couple sitting at our reserved table--frankly, I hadn't anticipated it would be a shared table for eight in the first place. To make matters worse, we were rushed to order and pay the bill. After that couple left, another pair were seated at our six-person table without any explanation. Our dishes arrived in two separate waves with a 10-minute gap. They also automatically added an 18% tip for parties of more than five people, which I expect at least we should have a private table. When I expressed my dissatisfaction to the server, the owner came out and became confrontational and aggressive. He raised his voice, saying I could "tell him what I am not satisfied with." Then he offered a refund, which I immediately declined, and afterward snatched a package of coffee from the counter and offered it as compensation. I refused again--it felt more like an insult than a genuine apology. After we posted our reviews, the owner privately messaged my friend, asking us to remove them and citing the "small Chinese community" as a reason we should support each other. That's incredibly manipulative. Using community guilt to pressure customers into deleting honest feedback is inappropriate and only reinforces our negative experience. I will not be returning.

I was expecting just a decent meal but was pleasantly surprised. First off, the service was top notch. Rafaelle (spelling?) made sure our water was topped off at all times and checked up on us in perfect intervals. He really made our experience great. The food and beers were great as well. I got the papardelle bourguignon and we split the house kettle chips. Both were very tasty. The bourguignon was cooked perfectly and the portion was just right; not too heavy and not too light. I want to come back and try the poke bowl next time. The atmosphere there is also very nice. It was a great location for us to discuss business and enjoy our food. Thank you for the great experience! I will definitely be back.

The scone was a big and I could only eat half of them, but it was good. I tried Tuna Poke Bowl for dinner. The tuna was seasoned, and the rice underneath was just the right amount, but it was quite voluminous. I tried Chicken Tikka Masala for dinner the next day. This brings salad to basmati rice and naan to chicken tikka masala. Chicken tikka masala and naan were delicious, but the salad was a little watery. There was a piano performance on Friday night. It's a nice place with a cozy atmosphere even by myself. The server was bright and friendly. I would like to stop by again if I get the chance.

The matcha is standard, nothing spectacular neither was it the authentic ones you expect to get from Japanese, but the toffee is a nice touch. I also love the vibe here which I ended up chilling for a while than a grab and go to cool down from this heat before I proceed to explore the rest of Downtown. Free wifi available. My server was also super friendly and nice, both were super helpful in providing recommendations to visit in town. 10/10 would come back again for the good vibe, good service, good people, and good drinks! They had a whole collection of supplements that you can take as a shot or added to your drink. Seems interesting but I didn't try it out. Maybe next time.

You pay for the wrapping/packaging. You get 3 stems of flowers for $35 basically with beautiful wrapping paper around it. Drinks are okay. Servers are fine, ambience is fine. Gets loud when it's busy, so not a great place to study. Stools are uncomfortable so I would try to sit at a table if you can help it. All in all it's okay, would recommend if you have the money. But if you're looking for a more budget friendly cafe I would steer clear.
