On our anniversary, my husband and I stopped by this adorable dessert spot for a sweet treat. They specialize in matcha-flavored desserts, but they also offer a wide variety of other sweet treats. I had the Ube Parfait, which was absolutely delightful! 😊 I'm a huge fan of Ube Ice Cream and it did not disappoint me. The place itself is cozy and intimate, with a warm atmosphere. The staff were also very friendly. Overall, I highly recommend this dessert spot for a sweet treat any day!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Rating: 3.9/5 We came in with a big group of eight, which felt like a lot for such a small store, but the cashier was very nice. They were also running a promo where if you buy two or more drinks, you get a cute thermal drink bag. We ordered the cherry blossom latte with oat milk ($7.29) and the peach matcha latte with oat milk ($7.89). The prices are a bit on the higher side, but they didn’t charge extra for alternative milk, and the drinks come in plastic bottles, which helps justify the cost. The cherry blossom latte tasted like cereal milk, so it wasn’t really our thing. The seasonal peach matcha latte, on the other hand, was pretty good. The peach bits were sweet with the right amount of chew, and the matcha itself was good quality. I do think it could be even better if the matcha flavor were just a bit stronger.

The matcha drinks here are absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh! You can taste the quality in every sip, smooth, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. One of the best places I highly recommend great authentic matcha flavors!
