If you love matcha-flavoured sweets, this is the place to go! Tried the matcha ice cream in a cone, it was excellent. Many other matcha-flavoured items (cookies, brownies, etc) which I will try the next time I'm in the area. Quick & friendly service, the place was a bit crowded but we still managed to find a place to sit. Must try if you love matcha!

Upto now I am still craving for their Matcha Mochi Cookie. It was really good ! I got Matcha latte with 2 pumps of Vanilla Syrup. Cafe is really small. Staff are really friendly… I stayed here maybe atleast 30mins … I like the decors as well… I will come back for sure !

I'm a regular at this place, the ice cream is delicious - big fan of the matcha ice cream with matcha cake (#17). I also highly recommend their mochi matcha, matcha cookies & chocolate matcha cookies with sea salt (trust me they are delicious).

The matcha latte is also amazing, just don't expect it to be extra sweet, if you have been drinking matcha for a while it will be great, if not I suggest to add a sweetener.

The service is also great, they are polite & friendly ☺?
