★★★★★ 5.0 Annonymouse Foodie · Nov 2025

Recently visited this café for a couple of drinks and absolutely loved the vibe. The ambiance is top-notch, and I was genuinely amazed by the thoughtful detailing inside—everything is so well curated to give it a unique and authentic feel. They even had a live tattoo artist the day we visited, which was such an unexpected and exciting touch! It definitely added a whole different experience to the evening and made the place stand out from the usual café scene. We tried the Strawberry Matcha, Mocha, and Boba, and each drink had its own delicious charm. The staff was extremely friendly and helped us pick the perfect drinks, which made the visit even better. Overall, a must, must visit café for anyone looking for great drinks, aesthetic vibes, and something a little different. Can’t wait to

I loved coming here! The food was delicious. The people at the reception are always so friendly! The music they play is my favorite part. This will become your favorite place!

I genuinely feel bad posting this because the owner has always been nice to us, but my last visit a few months back, was really upsetting. I started eating my ramen with my kid and noticed what I thought were condiments were actually a few dead fruit flies in the soup. I called the owner over, and she said they probably just fell in while I was sitting, but it wasn’t just one dead fly, there were multiple. There was no apology, no offer to fix it, no refund and no reassurance that the ingredients would be checked. I felt sick to my stomach knowing I ate the ramen with fruit flies in it. I’m guessing the flies got trapped in one of the ingredients and they didn’t notice when pouring those contaminated ingredients into the soup. I get that accidents happen, but how they’re handled matters.

I really don’t like leaving bad reviews, but please don’t go to this place. It’s not like it used to. I ordered 2 salmon onigirs and matcha (nothing out of the world, simple and easy) anyways.. I went to pick them up, the cashier told me it was going to be 10 minutes, I went there she was making the matcha and the onigiris were almost ready, she handed me the matcha and it was all dripping and messy, but I didn’t care bc she seemed new, but when I tried it, I’m not lying when I say that I almost broke my tooth, the tapioca was hard as a rock and I told her right away. She didn’t apologize and told me that if I wanted fresh tapioca I had to wait for 10 minutes ( I had no choice because I already paid for everything) she redo the matcha and I noticed that she added more milk to make the cup
