Such wonderful people working here, been coming for a while now and every time I have a great experience. Also, great coffee and food. I haven’t tried the Matcha yet but I’m sure it will hold up to my standards.

I went there completely randomly and was really pleasantly surprised. The chai latte was one of the best I’ve ever had and the staff was so sweet. He saw me struggle with all my coins and without my ask him exchange my small coins for bigger one so it wouldn’t weight too heavily in my purse. also the music was great!
