What an amazing experience. Greeted as soon as I open the door. My order was taken and my wait for short. I ordered the Cookie Butter Iced coffee with oat milk and it is delicious!!! The environment is clean and calming. I will definitely be back to try more of their delicious iced coffees. They sell lots of other options if coffee is not your jam!!!

I visited this boba place twice, ordered milk tea with boba. I think their milk tea is very sweet although I ordered less sweet. It tasted like sweet milk with subtle tea flavor. Boba has the right texture and sweetness. The customer service is very good, staff member offered to remake my drink if it doesn’t taste right. Tea flavor could have been stronger for milk tea. My friend ordered the fruit tea with less sweet and she likes it. Very clean boba shop, great for hangout.

SO GOOD & SO CUTE! I told the owner about my food allergies and she immediately recommended some items and made suggestions for me. It was absolutely delicious and my first time having Matcha. I Forgot what this is called but it’s just Matcha and coconut milk! Also, the vibe inside amazing… and these cupsss! So pretty and not of cheap quality

You have to try the matcha! In my opinion, it’s the best, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of matcha flavor, not too sweet. I also love the ube coconut! The atmosphere feels like a cozy family-owned shop, and the art on every drink is a beautiful touch. Plus, the ice is something that’s often overlooked, but they get it just right, perfectly sized to chill your drink without making it too cold. And as someone who usually doesn’t like ice, I really appreciate that!

Very nice drink options, we got the uji cloud matcha (11/10 would recommend ) and the hazelnut coffee (we were not a big fan of this one. Uji matcha was really nice, not too sweet either and you can taste the matcha. Good place to hangout and study/work, has power outlet and WiFi. Gonna try their Boba next~

10/10!! I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee and it’s one of the best iced coffees I’ve ever had. For the service, price, and quality, this shop is a gem. I will definitely be back to try more of their drinks :)
