Positive menu highlights include good matcha, tasty pastries like scones and croissants, and solid lattes when prepared well, though a few coffees are described as off or overly sweet. Overall the reviews show a place with strong coffee and a lively, sociable space that people want to return to, but with inconsistent service and occasional preparation flaws.View restaurant profile
