    The strawberry matcha and dessert was so delicious! I love the thought placed into the flavors, and it's a nice little shop in downtown Menlo Park. My friends and I were really impressed with the strong strawberry hojicha as well and we're looking forward to visiting again!

    Cute place that is tucked away behind Drunken Monk izakaya. I came here for a mommy daughter date day to indulge in some dessert and card games. Decor is cute but sleek, vibes are calm, bar seating by window and a few small tables with seats. Ordering is fast at the kiosk front desk which doesn't seem to have a cashier. Lots of tasty drink options with milk choices and customizable sweetness and ice level - much appreciated! Cakes were delicious and filled with freshly whipped cream. We had the hojicha and biscoff ones. Not incredibly busy - a lot of orders were takeout. Cons: A lot of things were out of stock by 1pm but maybe this is due to Mother's Day. Pricey but the items were high quality. Store is a small footprint with limited utilities (no WiFi, bathroom was temporarily out of order). Parking is very difficult- it's on el Camino so the cars are unforgiving if you're trying to parallel park, and the road parallel by a block is not much better. It has an alley and a very cramped space in the back for a lot. Expect to walk.

    I got the strawberry matcha and it was very creamy and the perfect amount of sweetness. The shop is super easy to pass but there is a small parking lot behind the store. You order on an iPad and the service is super fast. There is a good amount of seating inside as well. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this place was.

    Gorgeous little cafe in Menlo Park! I was looking for good Hojicha in the Peninsula and I stumbled upon Temp & Time. Located in a small building behind Drunken Monk, I came here on Friday noontime. Even right at open, the small parking lot in the back was almost full. The interior is so pretty and decorative. I got to sit down and enjoy a Strawberry Hojicha Latte. The strawberry purée paired so well with the dark smoky roasted flavor of the Hojicha. I personally like it more than Izumi :) I would give this place 5 stars if the cafe provided wifi and opened in the morning, I had to wait until it opened at noontime to check out their cafe. Temp & Time would be the most ideal place for me to study and get work done. Their Hojicha is definitely worth the hype, check out Temp & Time if you're in the area!

    We heard they ae known for their Asian soft roll cakes. We ordered 3 desserts to share. Black Sesame Roll Cake, so soft and filled with rich white cream and sesame cream. Hojicha Burnt Basque Cheesecake was very rich, nutty and roasty. Hojicha Custard Pudding is smooth and light.

    Love this store so much! Wish they closed later. Thai tea roll- 9/10 string Thai tea flavor - sweet- doesn't rlly tap into the bitter tea flavor but more the classic Thai tea sweetened drink Black sesame - 10/10 impressed everyone. Fine grounded black sesame but still a little grit for texture. Very strong natural black sesame taste. Matcha roll - 10/10 stunning flavor. Taste just like raw ceremonial grade matcha. Not excessively sweet a bit more on the strong matcha flavor less sugar. Delicious. Very strong flavor though. One roll is enough Coffee roll - 9/10 not bad standard mocha cake similar to paris baguette cappuccino cake. Classic mocha flavor Pink white sesame - 7/10 not my favorite. White cream is the white sesame and the pink is an artificial strawberry flavor. Overall taste like pocky.

    Tucked away and a bit easy to miss from the main road. Parking is limited, though there is a very small lot if you're lucky enough to snag a spot. The space itself is dainty yet cozy. I'd recommend ordering to-go, as it can get pretty busy inside. It's also best to come earlier in the day when their full selection of pastries is still available. My friends and I tried a few drinks and everyone really enjoyed them. I'd definitely stop by again whenever I'm in the neighborhood.

    I have been very excited to try this place, but I've been holding off because holy moly the price is for a slice of roll cake kind of put me off. I'm used to Asian bakeries where the whole roll was maybe eight dollars, but I couldn't pass up the flavors that temp and time offered. I'm a sucker for tea flavored desserts, so they got me. You have to really pay attention when turning into their parking lot because it's easy to miss the driveway. I just ordered for pick up on their website,, and that was pretty simple. It's a small shop with very minimal seating so I'd say it's a safer bet to just take it home. All in all, I don't regret getting these cakes. They were a nice sweet treat for myself for my birthday, and it was fun to get a variety pack. I tried Matcha, Thai tea, Hojicha, espresso black sesame. I liked all of them, and the tea flavors were very forward, which I appreciated. The cream was a bit odd, the Matcha and Thai tea seemed to be regular cream, but the espresso, black sesame cream was almost gelatinous? And with the cakes that have half tea cream and half plain cream, I wish they were slightly more even? It was hard to get an equal bite of cream with cake. The cake itself was nice and light, yet also a little bit dense, similar to Japanese roll cakes. Would I try them again? The answer is yes. If they introduce another flavor that I'm really interested in, then I'm still a sucker and I would try it again.

    Hojicha Strawberry Latte

    Cute little tea shop in Menlo Park! While small, it's bustling! There were many customers coming in and out while I was hanging out with a friend here, and I can see why! I ordered the hojicha strawberry latte with light ice and sugar. It's pretty much what you would expect from a hojicha strawberry latte, with the roastedness of the hojicha being balanced by the strawberry. It was a little light end on the roasted-ness though, but overall not too sweet. They also have a handful of various flavor roll cakes and cheesecakes, which I didn't try this time around. The interior is limited to 4 tables (each seating 2 people) and a handful of single-seating seats. They do not have WiFi available, if you were planning to bring a laptop to do work. Parking is extremely difficult as there's like 2-3 actual parking spots (otherwise it's very tight parallel parking along the very small driveway). Best option is street parking on El Camino (limited) or one street up on San Antonio St (more availability).

    Cute little cafe with aesthetic drinks and desserts. It is on the smaller side. There is maybe 4 tables and a bar seating by the window. There is a small/narrow parking lot shared with the restaurant next door. I stopped by here at around 2pm on Sunday. Was sad that most of the dessert items were already sold out! The only options were the black sesame roll cake, coffee roll cake, and hojicha pudding so we got those. I got the strawberry chrysanthemum tea while my friend got the rose lychee drink. Both were good and not too sweet. The texture of the cakes were perfectly soft. The cake was also very moist and the cream filling inside was good. I could taste the flavor of the sesame and coffee. I also enjoyed the hojicha pudding.

    Tucked behind Drunkin Monk, a small, calm spot with cute Japanese-style décor and a chill atmosphere. You order at a kiosk, wander for a bit, and they call your name when it's ready. I tried the hojicha strawberry latte at 30% sugar. Good flavor, but sweeter than I like since I forgot the strawberry purée brings its own sugar. Next time I'm going 0%. The hot black sesame latte with oat milk (also 30%) was the standout. Warm, balanced, and genuinely comforting. I also grabbed the limited black sesame and espresso pudding roll cake. Moist, bouncy, great sesame flavor, and the espresso pudding inside was delicious. Pricey, but at least it tastes like effort. Drinks and desserts aren't cheap, but the portions are big enough that it feels fair. Overall, a relaxed spot with solid drinks and a roll cake worth repeating.

    If you love great quality matcha and desserts that are super fluffy, moist, unique, and "not too sweet" I highly recommend giving Temp & Time a try! This very small and intimate cafe is a hidden gem in Downtown Mountain View. It's perfect for studying or just catching up with a friend. There are about three tables and a few bar seats at this location. Since this place has limited hours, I recommend coming here around opening (12 pm) b/c some flavors of roll cakes usually sell out pretty fast. Also, beware, this cafe is located in a small alley way (next to Drunken Monk), so the parking situation is VERY crammed. Be prepared to parallel park in a tiny area or park around a neighboring business to get here. During my most recent visit, I had a strawberry matcha latte w/ oatmilk and shared a thai tea and matcha roll cake with a friend. The matcha latte was smooth, deep green, grassy, and slightly sweet (50%). The strawberry puree added a nice touch of sweetness and didn't taste artificial. However, the star of the show here were the roll cakes! The thai tea roll cake melted in my mouth and had a perfectly soft and airy texture. The matcha roll cake was vibrant green and had a strong matcha flavor. I really enjoyed the marbling of both fresh whipped cream and flavored cream in each roll. It was done very well and looked beautiful! If you love matcha and Asian-fusion desserts, please give this place a try! I will be back here to try more of their delicious treats c:

    Flavor (4/5): Tried their black sesame latte which was caffeine free! Very nutty sesame flavor without being overly roasted. Not grainy either. Pairs well with another milk sub (oat, almond). Their hojicha cake was also decent! Moist and the cream was very flavorful. Instagram Worthy (5/5): From the parking lot and exterior of this place you don't expect it to be as cute as it is! Very Japanese/Korean cafe inspired for the seating, lighting hits right during golden hour! Cute cafe to get some pics in. Service (4/5): Self order on the kiosk, drinks came out pretty quick! Takeaways: Parking lot in the back is definitely challenging as it's not enough space. Cafe itself is small with limited seating when it gets busy. Very vibey tho!

The Anton location in the mall is only takeaway, so you just order at the counter and go. They do provide a very pretty and well-constructed cardboard tray with a napkin/utensil holder built in if you tell them you're eating at one of the patio tables. Very thoughtful! We had a slice of their best seller, the Hokkaido milk charcoal crepe, which cost $12/slice. Simply put, the crepe was just too dry and overcooked. I personally look for crepe texture to be a little QQ (soft, but with some bite) and this was borderline rubbery. The skin also wasn't smooth: you could even see all the bubbles that formed. Cream was okay, nothing special or particularly "Hokkaido" about it; I've had dairy in Hokkaido and this didn't have any of the richness I remember. The little crunchy chocolate-covered wafer balls were a net negative to the experience. The sweetness of the chocolate was way too overpowering for how delicate the cream was, and I did not like the crunchy texture in the context of a crepe cake at all.
