Super cute new coffee spot on the west side. The barista was friendly. As you can see by the…read morephotos, the decor is adorable. I ordered a matcha latte. It tasted great but it was way too hot. I burned my tongue, that's how hot. I couldn't take another sip for a while until it cooled down, then it was really good. So just something to be aware of. The other disappointing thing was they have pastries on the menu so I went to order one but the barista said they actually didn't have any available. So I ended up having to go somewhere else for that. I'm still giving this business 4 stars though. I know they're new, and every new business deserves time to work out the kinks!

Another great coffee joint along West Side in Jersey City! I was just running around the area when…read moreI decided I needed a quick coffee pick-me-up. Stumbled across this place and I'm so glad I did! They're a coffee shop with pastries and boba drinks available. The shop is a little small with a little bit of bench seating and one table, but it works. I decided to go with an ube infused latte which was good. I didn't think the ube flavor was too strong but I did order another add shot of espresso which might've overpowered the ube flavor. Also, I really appreciated how the barista asked if our drinks were sweet enough before we left the shop. Amazing customer service!! I would stop by again for another drink if I'm in the area.

I've been there in person and ordered take out recently as well. I got the brown sugar boba,…read morechicken and takoyaki. All which were very delicious. When I was there in person I got another order of the takoyaki too. I'd like to go back try the soft serve options soon. It's a nice cafe that would be a cute setting for a date or to study and work. If you have a chance to visit in person definitely do. There's a lot of attention to detail even right down to the packaging and food as well which is most important. The delicious food and ambiance will keep me coming back when in the area. If they can keep it tasting the same I'll keep ordering for take out as well. The cafe has beautiful interiors and even the take out containers are very beautiful and colorful. It feels like a passion project. You can tell they paid a lot of attention to the branding. I like the purple and would keep the take out bag even. The cup sleeves are cute and colorful, it might take a lot to print all the colors though so maybe that can be kept to its essence. I would say keep up the standards for the food and drinks, I'd come back for more because of it. simple stuff like sleeve can probably be simplified to its essence. I'm not sure what the costs are for something like that for the business but I'd probably invest in the food. I only say that because I'd like it to stay around longer and it is a nice addition to the area. Having a small business is not easy.. especially service, so props to every business owner in it. when I was there last in person the staff were really nice as well. Hope more people can discover this lovely cafe and enjoy!

I went for "My Ex", a zesty, citrus-starring concoction of kumquat lemon tea with fresh grapefruit. Mmm, vitamin C! Skip the Bubble Waffles, though. Despite being freshly made, mine wasn't very crispy or chewy.

Some other specialty drinks you can only get here including calamansi (Filipino sweet lime), mango, or guyabano (tropical white fruit) drinks.

Overall 4/5 delicious Filipino tropical drinks

I've been here in the past for their onigiri, but I was surprised to see that they now have udon, snacks, and decorative pins for sale! I really like their onigiri, which you can get in either small or large sizes. My personal favorite is the ume onigiri, which is a tangy plum flavor. But if you want something with more protein, the salmon onigiris and the chicken onigiris are really good as well! The staff are welcoming and kind, and they were open to answer any questions we had. My husband and I shared 3 onigiris and an udon, and that was enough to fill us up! The shrimp tempura that came with the udon was delightfully crunchy and savory. All in all, I love how convenient this spot is for students, and I'll definitely be back to try more onigiri flavors!

I learned about Yaya Tea from a friend who lives around the area and had their rice balls for lunch…read moreone day. While Yaya Tea is most known for their teas and rice balls, I was feeling adventurous and decided to pick something up from their take out menu for lunch. I called in an order for vegetable yaki soba (extra charge for proteins) and was initially shocked and disappointed at the size of the container as it was much smaller than I had expected. However, my thoughts changed when I dug into the dish -- the noodles were packed to the brim of the container so I found the portion to be quite filling. I wasn't so terribly full, but at the same time, I also didn't need to procure additional snacks to get me through the rest of the workday. The flavor was good, albeit a little salty for my taste, and what really made the dish were the mushrooms that had a nice spongy texture that was reminiscent of animal protein, particularly Chinese food beef. Will be returning to try their other entrees and rice balls!

Peach season is back and so is my favorite peach drink…read more The Peach Cheese was full of big, juicy peach pieces. You can really taste the difference when drinks are made with fresh fruit. The Pineapple Bobo with coconut milk was another good one. Pineapple and boba worked surprisingly well together. Black Grape Cheese is still my go-to. I always get it with no sugar and it's honestly not sweet at all. Mango Sago is my husband's favorite. Even with no added sugar, it's still naturally sweet because the mango is so ripe. For fresh fruit tea in JC, this is still my favorite spot. Get the seasonal fruit drinks while they're available. And you might get lucky and see the cute guy working behind the counter.

Heads up, this place is extremely small, i don't even recall any area inside to sit. Think all orders here are for to go. When i arrived, i order via a kiosk and the person making the drink was able to make it fairly quickly. ended up getting a mango sago drink. most boba places i go to now, i typically order a version of a mango sago drink. guess i'm in my mango era. overall, decent place to get your milk tea / boba drink.

Right when you walk in, you'll be offered a ginger shot with a chaser. The ginger shot may feel a little hot and spicy but the chaser fixes that pretty well. I ended up getting the palisades and paterson plank smoothies this time around but I definitely want to try other juices and smoothies! They have a large variety and make it fresh. In addition to smoothies, they also sell cupcakes from a local baker. They seem unassuming but they are delicious! I tried the sweet potato and carrot cupcakes. Odd flavors but they're so flavorful! If you stop by, I definitely recommend trying a cupcake. Overall, a great place with great people and great vibes. So happy that they're here in JC.
