Review Summary

Reviewers describe Café 2nd Gen as a standout for inventive drinks and quality coffee, with highlights including ube matcha, jasmine matcha, tiramisu latte, date tahini latte, and a kafta sandwich, plus Vietnamese coffee with creme brulee toppings. The drinks are praised for being well crafted and not overly sweet, and the menu is noted for ambitious twists and seasonal flavors. The staff are consistently described as friendly and welcoming, contributing to a warm, cozy atmosphere, though the space is relatively small and seating can be hard to come by, so many visits are to go. A few concerns include price for the small cup size and occasional too much ice or sweetness in drinks. Parking around the area is challenging, but the cafe is regarded as a valuable neighborhood spot with high repeat visits and a loyal following.

I loved everything about this café! Their ube matcha is to die for. The first time I went, they made it a bit too sweet for my liking but the second time they adjusted the sugar level accordingly so it was perfect. The location is great & the interior design is really pretty. I definitely recommend.
