This was my first time here, and I had a really good experience. I ordered a strawberry drink with matcha cold foam and a mango drink with matcha cream foam, and both were really good and refreshing. The flavors were well balanced and unique. They also had some really nice-looking pastries on display, which I didn’t get to try this time but would definitely consider next visit. The environment is very clean and comfortable, and the guy working there was really nice and welcoming. Overall, I’d recommend stopping by for the drinks and would come back again.
