Cà Phê Haru

A month after my initial double matcha, CA Phe Haru made some changes ans adjustments after a couple of customer reviews/inputs. They graciously gave me another drink, complimentary, to make sure I had a worthy drink. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The double creamy matcha far exceeded my expectations. It was a beautiful vibrant green. The thick creamy foam was earthy and smooth with a good matcha kick. I love offbeat's matcha, but Caphe Haru is just as great and more convenient for me. Its definitely one of the better matcha drinks in Sacramento/EG. Ca Phe Haru added some seasonal drinks that were super delicious as well. It was different so we wanted to give it a try. The sweet potato latte was sooo good. You can definitely taste the warm sweet potato with the coffee. I wanted

Best strongest coffee - wish I could get a bigger portion of coffee since I have a high tolerance. Not alot of "bites" selection. Would love to see some hot food on the menu. The staff could be a little happier or personable, I hope they are being treated well. Would love to see a sealed bottle version or a group/office sized portion to be able to share with others or to drink later. favorite is the og Vietnamese coffee.

-Pros: quiet, clean and decent space -Cons: double matcha is plain and no sugar in the drink, there should be option for sugar if they want to sell their drink plain like so. Staffs are lacking of basic customer service training. And they charge more for card payment without proper sign or informing customer beforehand, that's unethical practice to me. Not worth coming.

Matcha is decent and has good color. Service is good and fast, but not liking about how they operate since their POS charge some kind of fee that is 30 cents (I guess like 4% of total order) on top of already expensive drink (7.50 for matcha latte) and the receipt didn't disclose what it was. It's not tax as you don't get tax for to-go drinks in California. To add on, I understand as case with small business, some of the POS options will have customer to take on some costs but I haven't seen one as high as 4% when you are already are charging higher price on your drinks. If you are already charging customer a premium price, no reason to absorb some of the POS operation/credit card transaction or whatever-it-was price yourself.

I just tried the Korean Garlic Milk Bread and the Scallion Milk Bread and both were really good. Fresh, flavorful, and honestly better than I expected. Only downside is that they serve them only on the weekends. The only thing that throws me off a bit is the service. The staff don’t really smile and sometimes it feels like you’re bothering them just by being there. They look at you like they hate you or they hate their life lol. The vibe doesn’t quite match how good the food/atmosphere is. Still worth going though.
