A number of reviews praise helpful baristas who offer recommendations, and the terrace adds to the experience when weather allows. There are recurring frustrations with drink quality, especially with matcha which can taste like water, and with occasional shortages such as oat milk. Renovations at several locations have shifted emphasis toward takeout, with outdoor tables sometimes dirty and lacking trash bins, and mobile ordering sometimes unavailable. Staff changes and higher turnover lead to longer waits and occasional drink errors, though most issues are resolved by remaking drinks. A tipping prompt on card payments is noted by some as inappropriate for this type of service, with the option to select no tip suggested. Overall, the drinks are appreciated, service remains generally reliable, and the ambiance and friendliness encourage repeat visits despite variability and occasional gaps.View restaurant profile
