When you enter there a few areas to sit around and up at the front you can see the menu on the TV and through the glass you can see the puffs that they have available. I've only ever gotten the puffs and the cakes. They have a few different flavors (matcha, black sesame, Biscoff, oreo, etc.) and I've tried most if not all of them and they're all fairly good, not too sweet. In my opinion they taste a bit better once refrigerated for a few hours. The tres leches and strawberry matcha cakes are good as well, again, not too sweet. I'd like to try the soft serve sometime. A bit on the more expensive side so I only go there when the craving for the Asian style puffs are there. The service overall was good as the people working the front don't mind explaining the flavors of the different types of items they have for sale.

My go to is a honey latte, but any and all of their drinks are so good. If I had to pick a Princeton favorite from any category, this would be my #1. I only wish they had far more seating options, but regardless, this place is amazing and has a great ambiance. Their baristas are all super cool, friendly, and nice. What a gem.

It was honestly a chilly day on the day we went so these hot lattes really hit the spot. The staff was so nice and accommodating to all of our questions and they have beautiful stickers and other merchandise from local artist that you can purchase at the front. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try any of their pastries, which I see them posting on Instagram all the time. But I will definitely be back to try more drink drinks and all the different pastries that they have to offer! If you're looking for a quiet cozy café, this is 100% a place you need to stop by!!

You know it's good coffee when it doesn't leave a nasty coffee and sugary taste in your mouth. I savored each sip. Service here is a standout, super friendly with big smiles. Highly recommend.
