The term "Paris Syndrome" describes a psychological state of severe shock experienced by tourists…read more(in particular, first time visitors to Paris) who suffer immense disappointment from unmet expectations. Taste of Paris is not actually that bad. But it is pretty weird. The vibe is less Parisian cafe than hostile architecture. For one thing, there's a hole in the ceiling. It is not small. It's basically an entire missing ceiling tile. Like, there may be some kind of repair project or remodel going on? For another thing, it's rather dark for a coffee shop. It's dimly lit with very little natural light. And the walls seem green screen ready. Jarringly sparse but would make a great Teams background. All that said, the coffee is decent. I ordered off menu. A flat white, no sugar, no syrup. And it was solid. Which, in sum, leaves me at three stars. Two or below if you're drinking in, but maybe four if you're grabbing to go.

I was super excited to visit Humble Cafe as I had been seeing it on social media for months…read more They have a menu that has a lot of Asian, particularly Southeast Asian influences and flavors. They also carry pastries from other local bakers and small businesses. I wanted to grab a butter mochi square, but unfortunately they were out of the mochi squares and cookies that day. They were also out of the black sesame cream, which was a bummer because my top choice was the black sesame latte. I chose to get the ube matcha latte instead. I'm not sure if I just caught them on an off day, but the whole experience was a little chaotic. First, as I was standing for the barista to take my order, she tried to give me someone else's drink. It took her a while to make my drink because she had to whisk up the matcha (honestly amazing effort as I was not expecting ceremonial-level prep). As I was walking away drinking my matcha latte, I realized that my drink was made with oat milk and not almond milk as I had requested. (I don't have an allergy but my body sometimes has trouble processing the oat and all the sugar.) The drink was still tasty, the ube syrup was very sweet and different from what you could get at other coffee shops. The matcha flavor was a little lost as a result, but it was still delicious. I hope I could swing by and give the place another try.

It's located in a strip mall, near Lidl Supermarket, with plenty of parking available. There are a few tables/seating, and there is even games to play while you're there!

The raspberry lemon muffin and the sandies are amazing. The sandies in particular are only $0.85 each so they're very affordable. The pastries were so good that we ended up getting a whole peach cake to go and it was amazing. The sandwiches were just okay. They are served cold, which I didn't expect for a caprese sandwich. The lemonade was satisfying on a hot day. The service was very quick. We found seats at the bar too easily. This is a grab and go kind of place. If you sit, it's probably a good idea to vacate or not take your time if you see a lot of people waiting since there is limited seating.

They also had cakes, cookies and more and the price was great too! The large cannoli was $5 and the cream puffs were $16 per pound (I paid around $2 for two cream puffs). This place is small so you can take out and try! I'll definitely come back for cannoli and other pastries!!

They also had a great honeycomb pastry! Nice and warm! Honey and cream cheesey bite! Strawberry matcha too was great. They have a pink bottom and topped with matcha and it was delicious!
