I absolutely recommend this cafe to anyone who needs a good place to grab a drink and quick bite!…read more I just ordered a seasonal berry match and it was refreshing and delicious!

The cafe is cute but It took almost 20 minutes for me to get my drink when almost no one was there…read more I was there with my sibling once and she waited almost 30 minutes for a sandwich. They informed her AFTER she ordered the food that it was out and she had to get something else. She had to get up and ask where her food was. She waited another 30 minutes only to get a glob of cup up avocado on a hard piece of toast and a handful of arugula. Most of the workers were just standing there and not doing anything. The coffee tasted really odd and old. The matcha is good but the wait time is terrible!

The way this place looks so hidden and tucked away from reality. Absolutely love it. I got the iced matcha tea and it was DELICIOUS. Ceremonial matcha is always going to taste delicious and this particular drink was just heaven on my tastebuds. Absolutely adored this place and would love to come by again whenever im in town :)

They don't have any outlets though FYI My drink came out very quickly.

I also ordered the Velvet Rouge iced drink coffee with raspberry drizzle on top! I can't say I was impressed and honestly pretty bummed! It didn't taste like any white chocolate was in it and was a very strong flavor of black cherry, so I didn't finish it. BUT, I will definitely be going back to try their other drinks and foods...that certainly didn't deter me!

Hello!! I like to go around the Oakdale and Modesto area to review restaurants, stores, and coffee…read moreshops. I would like to start by saying AMAZING SERVICE!! The environment is welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the food and drinks are always warm, fresh, and delicious. Today there were two younger employees working. The young woman was handling orders, making coffee, and even going into the back to prepare food. She seemed pretty overwhelmed and honestly looked like she was doing the majority of the work on her own. At one point she asked her coworker for help with a customer at the front. He made the drink, but when the customer mentioned it was incorrect, he appeared frustrated. She immediately stepped in, calmly corrected the mistake, apologized to the customer, and made sure the order was done right--all while keeping a smile on her face. She answered questions easily, stayed kind and professional, and even managed to take care of what appeared to be a family member who came in, without letting it affect her work or service. She continued to apologize for the wait and stayed attentive to everyone despite being clearly very busy. Overall, the service was excellent, and her work ethic and attitude really stood out. This place really impresses me, and customer service like what she showed today will be one of the many reasons I will continue to return.
