And if you want a cashier that acts like asking about a pastry or changing your mind about one pastry to ask for another (and having to add one pastry off a receipt and add another) is the equivalent of me asking them to wipe my ass for me, and reacts to most things with slamming their hand on the desk and rolling their eyes. At least the strawberry pastry I had was delightful, and the service was so bad that a week later i have to write this

Their galbi patty was good too, reminiscent of a Philly cheesesteak. I also tried their banana oat milk latte w/ decaf espresso, and unfortunately it wasn't too pleasant tasting to me, as the decaf espresso was on the sour side & it didn't complement the banana flavor (puree) that well. Maybe their matcha or hojicha version works better. Overall, I would return for their unique & well executed breakfast sandwich. Staff were nice + helpful. For a Friday afternoon around 2:45pm, there was no line for takeout orders, and there didn't appear to be a wait for dine-in (people were still intermittently arriving at that time to get seated). I parked on 3rd Street, half a block away = street metered parking = cost $7.34 for 2 hours :(

As a lover of matcha, Asian food, and aesthetic environments--the wait is worthwhile. I love sitting in an area where the natural lighting and decor is on point. It's especially better when I enjoy delicious matcha and tasty food! I tried their Melona Matcha latte and IT WAS SO DELICIOUS! Definitely brings back some nostalgia with the Melona bar flavor -- it was so good I ordered a 2nd one to go. My husband had their Banana Oat Milk latte and it was a good balance of flavor and sweetness (not too sweet). We also tried their popcorn chicken, kimchi fried rice, and galbi patty melt. Next time I'd skip the patty melt--flavor was good but it was messy and not worth $16 IMO. the kimchi fried rice and chicken were worth it tho!

Not only does it have all of that, but the drinks aren't just pretty to look at, they're actually so good. I also love how community-oriented the space feels. It has such a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. I even signed up for their rewards program because I already know I'll be back. I didn't get a chance to explore the back of the store during my last visit, so that's at the top of my list next time. Such a fun place to spend a slow morning or afternoon!

Stonemill Matcha is a fantastic neighborhood spot serving delicious Japanese dishes alongside a…read morewide assortment of high-quality matcha drinks and desserts. Whether you are in the mood for a katsu sando, curry over rice, ochazuke with their matcha twist, or something sweet like the matcha cream pie, it is hard to go wrong here. All of the savory dishes I have tried have been great, but the fish katsu sando is one of my absolute favorites. The huge fish fillets are perfectly fried and flaky, tucked inside pillowy shokupan and topped with tangy yuzu shio koji sauce, tomato spread, and fresh crunchy cabbage. Every component works together beautifully, with richness, brightness, and texture all in balance. The pork katsu curry over rice is another standout. The katsu comes sliced into thick pieces that are still juicy inside, and it is fried expertly so the breading stays attached as you eat it. The curry has a really balanced flavor, even if I would not mind a little more spice, while the pickled radishes provide a nice contrast. I always add an onsen egg (for an additional $2) because breaking the runny yolk and mixing it into the curry adds another layer of velvety richness and creaminess. You can also tell they use high-quality matcha in their drinks, so the beverage menu is really more about choosing what fits your mood that day vs avoiding any bad options. Stonemill Matcha is a great option for a grabbing a drink on the go, a full blown sit down meal, a quick dessert stop or all of the above!

Yuzu Fish Sando was my absolute ultimate pregnancy craving; it was a seasonal item and glad it's now permanent on the menu. The only downside is that there always seem to be quite a few mosquitoes inside the restaurant. Maybe I'm just the only one bothered by it, but it's worth noting.

It had a very subtle matcha flavor, but I couldn't taste the grassiness. The sea green color was aesthetically pleasing when combined with the grassy matcha hue. As a drink, it is refreshing, but as a matcha latte, I felt there was too much milk, which drowns out the matcha flavor. 6/5 Kopi Klepon, Iced This was too delicious, I kept stealing sips from my partner (instead of drinking my own drink) and would order this one again. There was some coconutty sweetness, which added delicious complexity, and slight bitterness that pairs well with the sweet. In terms of flavor, this coffee drink rivals Vietnamese coffee. 4/5 Pandan Bolu This sponge cake-like pastry was springy and bouncy, with a medium green hue. Sadly, there was barely any detectable pandan flavor, but at least it was moist with a good texture. I'd come back if in the area and craving a strong, tasty coffee.

Feeling adventurous so ordered coffee from Delah for delivery. Process was quick and smooth…read more A lot of interesting latte flavors and specialties to choose from but ended up with iced Yemeni latte and rose latte as well as some milk cakes. Didn't realize the rose latte would come as a hot drink but it was still good. Opted for less sweet but was a little more sweet than expected compared to the Yemeni latte. Yemeni coffee was light and subtle with cinnamon. Milk cake was moist and not too sweet - texture reminds me of a les tres cake. Rose and saffron flavors were perfect and not too overpowering Turkish coffee is not bitter or too strong. Knowing this now, will try some of their other drinks when I'm looking for something light in the future!

It's located at the filthy corner of 4th and Clara, which made the outside smell of urine. Fortunately the cafe itself is pretty clean, which is a nice escape from the street. I ordered an Americano and my friend got one of their $8+ lattes, which were fine, but nothing special. My biggest gripe was the service and absolute scorn of the customer. My friend and I sat at the counter basically in a staring contest with the woman behind the counter, who just stared right back. After some 30 seconds, we finally flagging her down to place our order. After turning around the drinks suspiciously quickly, my friend and I sat down to catch-up in the empty cafe. Before long, the barista pumps up the volume, increasing higher and higher every 5 minutes or so, as if to signal to us that our time was up. I asked her to turn down the volume, which she tuned down from an 11 to a 7, but minutes later it continued to creep up, like the snooze setting of an alarm clock coaxing you to wake up - except in this case, to get out. Ultimately, the volume got unbearable and we finally threw in the towel and got out of there to let the barista enjoy her music. Definitely never going back there - they clearly don't want the business. Food: 5/10 Service: 0/10 Price: $$ Atmosphere: 4/10
