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.

Best iced Matcha I've had in a while, excellent service & even better atmosphere! The courtyard in the front is beautiful to sit & enjoy. I also had the almond oatmeal cookie & it was delicious! Must needed for the area, & very affordable.
