This place is too good to be true, both the coffee and the vibe are top notch. It’s aesthetic, cozy, and the drinks are consistently delicious. I’ve been here more than 3 times, and the quality never disappoints.

A cozy cafe for people to work or hang out. The design was stylish, and the staff team was cool and professional. Hojicha latte itself was good, but the cold foam was a little bit too stiff in a drink.

Such a hidden gem in Bayside! This cafe has quickly become one of my favorite spots to hang out or get work done. It’s incredibly spacious with a calm, laid-back vibe—you’ll see people working on their laptops, sketching in notebooks, and catching up with friends. They’ve got a very large table if anyone needs some space for projects. It’s not dead silent, which I love—there’s a nice balance of focus and friendly energy. The drinks are fantastic—if you’re looking for something beyond your usual bubble tea or coffee, their Asian-inspired menu is full of refreshing and creative options. I tried one of their ube hojicha drinks (so beautiful, by the way), and it was smooth, not overly sweet, and really unique. Don’t sleep on the baked goods either—the pandan butter mochi and mango sticky Rice Krispies are my favorites. Soft, chewy, and packed with flavor. Definitely worth grabbing a few to go!

Great quality drinks, aesthetic and calming interior, and fantastic service. I’ve gotten several of their drinks. My favorite is the matcha latte with oat milk. Their matcha is ceremonial grade, rich and well balanced!

This coffee shop has quickly become a standout addition to the neighborhood, especially considering the scarcity of high-quality coffee options in the area. The space is well-designed and cozy, a complement to their exceptional drinks. I particularly love their matcha offerings—especially the strawberry matcha latte, which is easily one of the best I've ever had! Also love their rotating baked goods, I keep coming back to the butter mochi and Kora cookies. The service is consistently friendly as well. Staff are always nice and make you feel welcome. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a top-notch coffee experience!

Iced Ube Matcha Latte! It comes with healthy matcha and a layer of sweet ube cream on top. Their coffee and other drinks are great too, but this one is especially pretty and delicious. It really lifts your mood when you sip it while relaxing in one of their comfy chairs. I think they can make it a little sweeter if you ask!
