Came by, ordered matcha cortado for a quick togo. Cashier was pretty nice and patiently explain what they have. During lunch time, there were many many people but they find a way to have a quick service. That’s a huge plus!

Very stylish inside though the lighting seemed a little dark. The waffle sandwich is good, but very sticky. Be sure to use the fork and knife.

Came here around 2:15pm on a Wednesday and it was super busy. There’s a variety of seating within the relatively small space. I really like the openness of the tall windows and ceiling.

This is a cool little cafe just next to the Broad. I ordered the Brioche Egg + Cheese, but got it on sourdough because they ran out of brioche. It was a pretty damn good sandwich with plenty of cheese and egg, but it was a bit expensive, around $7, if I remember correctly. I could have just made it at home tbh. I’ll definitely be back to try the coffees and pastries though!

Cappuccino is pretty good; dinks smoothly, but felt a little light (like marginally watered down). Regardless, I still enjoyed it.

I’ve gone here a couple of times now and I’ve thought it’s about time to leave a review. I always get a yinyang (half drip half hk milk tea) with lavender and this place is one of the only where I can actually taste the lavender! Their food is also really fresh, but I’ve only gotten it

I am obsessed with the coco ube matcha latte. I go at least once a week to get it. The staff is super bubbly and kind even during rush hour. The tuna melt is so good my coworker saw it across the room and was like “that looks amazing what is that?!” Chocolate chip cookies are another win. I’d recommend them over the brownie or lemon square. I found the lemon square a bit sweet and not as lemony as I’d like.
