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 tried the matcha ice cream & the matcha cheesecake, & both were absolutely delicious. The matcha flavor was rich & authentic without being too overpowering. Definitely worth visiting if you're a matcha love
