It definitely was not what I was expecting. A messy little cafe tucked away in the corner of a…read moreWestminster plaza with eclectic decor and a bunch of furniture and supplies laying about. A (coffee?) stained curtain. Cafe employees watching Netflix after they serve you. I'm genuinely convinced this is intentional, It reminds me of a simpler time like going over to a friend's place and hanging out in their living room. I had a matcha affogato and my partner had an immortality tea. Both delicious and served with a genuine smile. Definitely a different experience and I'm grateful for it. 5/5 this place is based.

7/10 Chrysanthemum Milk Tea - I didn't like this drink at all. My friend ordered two of these and…read moreone of the lids was literally ripped. The employee knew it too. She actually said, "Oh sorry, the lid isn't closed all the way. I tried to seal it twice but it wasn't working. I hope that's okay." It's definitely not okay when we have no other choice in the matter! Aside from the messy packaging, the drink was way too bitter. I really wasn't a fan. 1/10 Vibes - I want to touch on what the inside of the business looks like because... wow, it was jarring. It felt like I walked into some dude's basement. Mismatched curtains everywhere, 2 fish tanks that were straight up brown and green and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a yr, and sus couches just scattered around for no reason. There were cat treats sitting out too which was confusing because apparently there's a cat there?? There were like, 12 dudes sitting there and all watching whatever anima thing was playing on the tv. Absolutely not my vibe at all, but clearly it's catering to a very specific demographic. Cost - $7.65

This is one of my favorite cafes to hang out with friends and sketch at! From the outside, it looks…read moreunassuming, but the inside is super spacious. They have a separate area full of seating that's decorated to look like you're in an outdoor cafe with cute building facades. There's lots of natural light there too, which is always nice. Cafe Orange makes the best croffles, hands down! They're always warm, crispy, and generously topped with whipped cream, fresh fruit, and more. I got the strawberry croffle, and my friend got the banana brulee croffle. Both of them were decadent while not being overly sweet. Their portions are generous too - with each order, you get two croffles. Double the deliciousness!! I usually get non-caffeinated drinks or drinks with less caffeine since I come later in the day. I enjoy their yogurt smoothies, and I also like their honey citron teas. Their drinks aren't too sweet, but adjustments can always be made when ordering. They offer other Korean foods and snacks like kimbap, tteokbokki, ramen, and more. I noticed a lot of students come here to study or do work, and it's perfect because you can get a drink, food, and study in relatively quiet environment. I love the vibes here and will definitely be back to try more drinks and food.

I've been into k-foods more and more over the past few years. I fell in love with their coffee and…read morepastries, so I've been hopping around looking for new places. Parking: Free parking lot. They're located in a high foot traffic plaza. Finding a spot will be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: This lovely bakery is located inside the AR Korea Plaza. They're in the very back corner near the front entrance. They have a small corner space filled with freshly made pastries. Everything is organized and labeled with prices. There's a shared indoor seating area. Service: There were two workers. I was greeted immediately when I came by. They speak Korean and English. Very courteous, quick, & efficient. Drinks & pastries: I got the Dabang Korean Coffee and Peanut Butter pastry. I absolutely looove the pastry! The peanut butter wasn't too overwhelming or sweet. They offer all types of coffee from Dalgona to Dabang. Dabang is a classic Korean style coffee. It's quite strong. I prefer it creamier, but it was still good! Pricing: Average prices for pastries and drinks. Can't wait to come back to try their other menu items!

Got the too good to go bag. They had no ratings and it said…read morenew so maybe they just didn't understand the concept of too good to go but I only got less than $8 of bread for a $6 bag. Only included one corn cookie, half a soboro type bread and one sesami tapioca ball. It would have been better to just choose what I wanted and pay for the original price. But what made it worse was they were selling starbuck products and I bought a cold cup and it had a crack!!! Can't use it since it leaks ....

Cash only, so come prepared…read more This place feels like a hidden gem from a different era. The owners appear to be an older Korean couple, and the woman helping me was incredibly sweet--she reminded me of everyone's favorite grandma. I was debating whether to get another variety of mugwort rice cake since I already had three trays in my hands, and before I could decide, she gifted me a day-old tray to take home. That small act of kindness completely made my day. My husband and I especially enjoyed the kimbap. From what I could tell, their primary business seems to be supplying local markets, with a small storefront area where customers can purchase items directly. I can't fairly rate the rice cakes themselves because this was my first experience trying traditional Korean rice cakes outside of tteokbokki. I'm certainly not an expert on how they're "supposed" to taste. What I can say is that they had a pleasantly chewy texture with just a touch of sweetness, and I enjoyed trying something new. More than anything, I hope people support businesses like this. In a world full of trendy food concepts, Instagram-worthy packaging, and mass-produced everything, places like this are becoming harder and harder to find. There's something special about buying food directly from the people who make it--fresh, by hand, and rooted in years of craftsmanship. Not every great food experience comes with neon signs and a marketing budget. Sometimes it's a kind ajumma, a tray of rice cakes, and a reminder of how things used to be.

I also noticed they've added quite a few new food items to the menu, so I decided to give one a try. I ordered the pesto mushroom and bacon breadsticks.

What I ordered: Coco Pandan Mousse DESSERT: 8/10 I loved how light my mousse was. Most importantly, it actually tasted like pandan! I was worried the pandan flavor was going to be mid and subtle, but each bite had a great pandan flavor. I had a bit of a drive back to my hotel, so I was advised to order mine frozen. I'm glad I took the staff member's advice because by the time I got to my hotel and finished dinner, it had thawed out perfectly. It was still cold-ish, room temp in the best way possible. SERVICE: 9/10 Great customer service! Upon arrival, the staff member who helped me was very nice. I was indecisive about what to order, so I really appreciated that she gave me a rundown and some suggestions on their most popular dishes. Most importantly, I appreciated her concern about my dessert melting by the time I got back to my hotel. If it wasn't for her and her advice to order the dessert frozen, I wouldn't have known and probably would've ended up with a deconstructed dessert. The way she packaged my dessert was also very helpful and considerate. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Definitely a cute place, and I can see this being a great go-to spot for groups. I loved how the back seating area had so many Polaroids plastered all over the walls. There are different types of seating depending on what you're in the mood for, and each seating area has a different vibe. There's also plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the weather while having your dessert!

This place also closes pretty late on weekends, so it's a perfect spot to hang out with friends and family.

The ambiance is awesome and very creative since it revolves around this ants theme. Our server is pretty friendly and helpful to our decisions. We ordered their XL Ice Cream boba sago of 1 and 2. Oh yea I thought this dessert will be just a normal size but I guess that's why it has an XL on it haha.. we surely underestimated the size lol. They specialized on Durian ice cream and I've been craving it since meeting my girl :) I got the craving because of her and now I cannot stop thinking about it whenever she mentioned an ice cream flavor. The avocado and durian combination is top tier :) Whoever thought about it is a genius cause it really blends in well with the flavor. My girl and I really enjoy this place and will be back for more fosho :) Overall, definitely a recommendation to people that loves Durian fruit :)
