Parking is a bit difficult at times as well from my experience. Cashmere - velvet espresso with caramel, so smooth and a little bit more on the sweeter side but is great! Aoi banana (not pictured) - this is probably my seasonal favorite right now that im hooked on. Matcha banana and its the perfect mix and my group's favorite. Reminds us of the banana milk cans we got back in japan. An absolute delight that ill probably keep getting til they rotate it out Tried their chairoi banana which is the espresso variant of the matcha verison and it's good but I think the matcha mixes much better with the bananas Yuki matcha - white chocolate matcha- I personally liked this one quite a bit but I can see it wouldn't be for everyone. It's quite sweet, think of regular sugar in a normal boba/tea drink. Mixes well with the matcha but I won't lie, the banana verison has me hooked more! Overall I like their coffee here and it's definitely in my coffee rotation so I would recommend it! Its also not far from memorial park so.. a great excuse after a run after melting in the sun

The pandan was sweet as expected but if you've never had pandan that might catch you off guard. The ube was so yummy. Definitely coming back! Worth the wait.

The place is temporary. and takeaway only. But the wait isn't as long as it looks. And it's worth it. The jasmine matcha comes in two acts. Jasmine first--floral and fragrant. Then the earthy matcha hits. It's a perfectly crafted drink. The traditional matcha latte is more subtle but just as balanced. Toasty, earthy, just sweet enough to soften the bitter matcha. That seems to be the point here. The tea is serious. Cocha isn't precious about it. No ceremony. No mysticism. No need to convince you that drinking pulverized leaves is an act of spiritual transcendence. Just very good tea, handled carefully and allowed to taste like itself.

White Dubai chocolate bar - $11 - I think I'll stick to the dark chocolate or milk chocolate varieties as this was a little too sweet for me. It was a good bar, with plenty of pistachio cream and crushed kataifi on the inside. Adeni chai - ($5) - Not as creamy as the Adeni chai I had at Royal Roastery but this was aromatic and had strong cardamom flavors. Overall, this is a great spot to experience Arab culture and some unique treats and beverages. They have a large seating area to socialize.

The pistachio latte was good, nothing extra memorable but it was what I was looking for in the moment. Keeping this place in mind next time I plan to work remotely from River Oaks (:

Iced pistachio latte ($7.50) - This latte had a strong pistachio flavor and had almost a buttery feel to it. I really enjoyed it and it was one of the better pistachio lattes that I have tried. Dubai chocolate ($6) - This consisted of a large milk chocolate bar filled with rich pistachio cream and kataifi (crispy shredded phyllo dough). It tasted amazing and much better than most places selling these. Pricing was reasonable. Overall I enjoyed my latte and dessert. The interior has some Yemeni decor and there is quite a bit of seating. The only negative is that I wish they had more sweet and snack offerings.

The donuts at the counter are vegan too (and fairly tasty though just a little dry and a little less dense than I might prefer). The smoothies and the juices steal the show here.

For example, with the Turkish delights and ice cream selections, only a few items are labeled. For most of them, you have to guess the flavor or ingredients. When I asked questions, there was a language barrier, and the staff member behind the counter was unable to clearly explain what the items were in English. This can be especially frustrating for customers with food allergies or dietary restrictions. In the U.S., I would expect all flavors and ingredients to be clearly labeled so customers can make informed choices. Even if staff members are not fluent in English, having accurate labels for flavors and ingredients would greatly improve the customer experience. The desserts themselves are excellent, but better product labeling would make the experience much more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

FYI, they also have great prices. $1.25 and 60 cents hah! I bought them by the dozen. Last time I was in Miami it was easily 3 times that and not as good. This is truly a Hidden gem. So instead of donuts for the office, come by and get a couple dozen, and you will be the office Hero!
