The weather ended up being great today! It was definitely worth the trip to check out Fort Lee,…read moreanother vibrant Koreatown near the city. I made my first visit to Cheongsu, a super homey Korean cafe featuring drinks, pastries, and desserts. Given the weather, I went with their strawberry matcha bingsu. It was the perfect size for two people to share. I loved how thoughtfully it was layered--between the shaved ice, they added strawberry and matcha sauces, topped it off with shaved milk ice and sweet cream, and finished it with plenty of matcha powder and fresh strawberries. Such a lovely spot for a group of four or less to catch up over light bites and good drinks.

I visited Cheongsu over the weekend with my girlfriend. They were REALLY busy. It got to the point…read morewhere the man behind the counter was saying bingsoo would take 30+ minutes to make. They were also pretty strict about seating. If you had a party of 2 you HAD to sit at a table with 2 chairs. It's also pretty expensive. My order of 4 things came out to well over $60. The Ube Cheesecake bingsoo was really good but at about $25 I don't think I'd get it again. The matcha fromage was kind of dry and I didn't really enjoy it. It looked really pretty though. Each drink was also $8.50. The ambiance is really nice though. It looks like a historical type of spot with lots of wood furniture. I'd probably only come back here for drinks.

What a cute little cafe in downtown Fort Lee. I was craving some strawberry matcha and found out…read morethey have teddy bear matchas here! Naturally, I had to check it out. As a strawberry matcha lover, this is what I went for. To my surprise, they also were serving pho! They had three types of pho on the menu, so I went with the chicken pho. My chicken pho came out very quickly and first. This was delicious and I could tell it was made with so much love. I also loved the lemongrass flavor they added to it. It was a very generous portion for the price. Shortly after, my strawberry teddy bear matcha was served. This was just the perfect balance of sweetness from the strawberry and earthiness from the matcha. The teddy bear on top was the cutest touch. Overall, the food/drinks were delicious, the ambiance was adorable, the staff were friendly, and the items were very affordable. I would love to visit again!

While deciding on what to order, the owner offered to make me a drink that was off the menu. How about a mixed one with strawberry, Matcha and coconut? Hey, if the boss is recommending it I'm all for it. My son got the ube and coconut. OMG, both drinks were so darn yummy. I am not an ube fan whatsoever, but my son insisted I take a sip. I have to say it was the best ube drink I have ever tried. The coconut mixed with the strawberry and matcha is a game changer. The teddy bear made of ice was so cute and makes for a cool IG pic. The owner was sweet enough to ask if we liked it. I gave her the thumbs up and said they were excellent and that we will be back. Oddly they also serve pho here, it's not a restaurant per se. We didn't have any so I can't comment. But definitely come for these yummy Vietnamese concoctions. Street meter parking only.

I've been here a few times and to be quite honest - I am grateful this place is a drive from me because I would eat here every day. The coffees are both unique and tasty (a bit on the milky side, but I like that), and the pastry were as fresh as could be. Not to mention, the place itself is lovely. When it's nice outside, they open the windows so you can sit and enjoy the fresh air while still being inside. Each time I've gone, the staff has been excellent too - super polite and willing to answer questions about the pastry. I've only had the coffee here, so I can't speak to their match or non-coffee drinks. Also, I am dying to try their cheesy Knafa, but it's so big I need someone to share it with!

They offer a selection of unique beverages and desserts that feel a bit more elevated than your typical neighborhood spot. Seating is limited, so be prepared to share space at the bar top along the side. If you are lucky, you might snag one of the small tables or, even better, one of the highly coveted couches that double as the perfect backdrop for social media photos. Here is what we ordered: - Einspänner: 3.5/5 stars. An upscaled version of an Americano with cream - Deep Black Latte: 3.5/5 stars. Also, a single-shot based drink. Would have preferred a second shot of espresso for a more balanced flavor. The cacao notes are prevalent. - Blooming London: 3.5/5 stars. One shot of espresso with exceptionally thick foam. The vanilla syrup was overwhelming, and the taste of the Earl Grey in the cream was underwhelming. - Chocolate chip cookie: 3/5 stars. Pretty average - Madeleine: 3/5 stars. Decent, but nothing memorable Parking is metered, and they do have unisex restrooms available.

The pistachio matcha latte had a strong pistachio flavor that I really liked. They warmed up the brownie for us, which I appreciated. It was tasty but also very sweet... although I think that's to be expected from a brownie. They didn't skimp on the pistachio layer. Pretty pricey brownie at $10, but it was a large portion. I'd recommend sharing with at least one other person. I will definitely come back for the drinks and to try some of the other pistachio pastries!

I noticed that Mavi's has installed wall mounted televisions, which scroll menu items, specials, and upcoming events. This was my first time ordering from their brunch menu and it was outstanding. My Western Omelette (ham, onion, mushroom, pepper, egg, potato, arugula, almond slices) was an excellent choice. Every ingredient was fresh, the eggs were fluffy, and it was accompanied by a side salad and two large slices of multigrain bread. The other items were the artistically presented Avocado Salad (Avocado, tomato, onion crisp, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, arugula mixed salad, almond slices with balsamic glaze and sesame dressing) and the Toowoomba Shrimp Donkatsu (crispy, golden-fried cutlet smothered in a rich, creamy, and spicy Cajun Toowoomba sauce with shrimp, onions, and mushrooms, served alongside a half-portion of pasta). This dish is succulent, creamy, pleasantly spicy, and thoroughly enjoyed. I'll never dine at Mavi's without ordering a Kimchi Bulgogi Pizza (tomato sauce, mozzarella, onion, mushroom, bulgogi beef, kimchi, scallion, spicy mayo drizzle). Not only does every ingredient dance in your mouth, but the soft beet infused crust makes this one of the best pizzas I've happily savored.
