The barista was super patient while I decided what to order. The Confleis Cold Brew (9.5/10) was SO good. The cold brew itself was light, but it paired perfectly with the cold foam. The foam had a denser, almost solid texture than a typical foam, which I actually loved. The buttery, salty corn flavor was absolutely divine. The Iced Momo Matcha (9/10) was another winner. I literally chugged it. The matcha was smooth, and I could still taste the matcha flavor. It wasn't quite as rich or umami-forward as I personally prefer, but all of the flavors worked together so well.

When I arrived, the hostess barely acknowledged me, and after I was seated and placed my order, no one came back to check if I needed anything else. A couple of things to know: be careful with the Chilaquiles Diablos--they are very spicy! And if you order a large coffee, be prepared--it's HUGE! Overall, I enjoyed the food and the beautiful ambiance, but the service definitely took away from the experience.

The service is always pretty quick, the staff is very friendly and if you eat there they play pretty good music. There are only like 6 seats inside but they also have an outdoor area too for summer.
