The café has a really cozy & inviting atmosphere, but it's not particularly suited for families with young kids. It feels more like a hangout spot for teenagers to socialize or meet new friends.

I tried the matcha latte - it was decent, though I personally prefer a stronger, slightly bitter matcha flavor. For lunch, I ordered the fried egg sandwich & the pork chop curry rice. The sandwich was nicely seasoned & quite enjoyable. The pork chop, while tasty, wasn't the traditional Japanese-style breaded version - it lacked the crispy panko coating you'd expect from a tonkatsu. That said, the curry sauce was very flavorful & well done.

Overall, the food was good, but the portion sizes were a bit small for my appetite.

Belle trouvaille. Un endroit où plusieurs jeunes branchés viennent travailler ou relaxer avec un livre & un café. L'espace est plus grand qu'il ne paraît, il y a plusieurs tailles de tables différentes. La musique est toujours bonne, & il y a parfois même un DJ présent. Un indicateur de décibels prouve que l'endroit respecte les clients. J'ai particulièrement aimé & DÉVORÉ le sandwich au saumon fumé, concombre & fromage à la crème. DÉLICIEUX. La fraîcheur des ingrédients était magique en cette journée de canicule. J'ai aussi goûté le sandwich aux oeufs, l'oeuf était préparé d'une manière que je n'avais jamais expérienced. C'était trop trop bon. J'ai pris un chaï latte glacé qui était non seulement tout mignon, mais aussi doux & bon, pas trop sucré même s'il était fait à partir de sirop. Mon amie a pris un cold brew, & la foam était majestueuse, c'était comme boire dans un gâteau moelleux. La terrasse est trop belle aussi. Je vais revenir c'est sûr! Surtout que j'ai appris qu'il y a les vendredis cocktails héhé

Great hangout/study space. Egg sando was bland & the bread texture is just okay (not fun to bite into); would recommend getting the Katsu sando in Chinatown instead. Chai Latte is also lacking flavor but not offensive.

The iced hojicha latte is very good however their matcha was very underwhelming, it tasted more closer to just milk

Came here to find out what the hype was about.. we came a bit before they serve the sandwich. But there was a prob that occured, the air fryer was broken so we had to wait almost 40 min to get our sandwiches. Bc I wanted to try it so so bad & we were already there, we waited..

The food came, & honestly the taste was ok. It was not wow but it was a normal sandwhich that u could make at home.. also the karaage was tiny that I had a couple of bite with just bread & no chicken lol. Also the tamago is ok not too tasty..

Also ordered their Hojicha Latte & this was really good!! 10/10 , croissant is ok as well..

It's good to try once but not smt I'd drive 40min to try again 🙂🙂 Staff are very nice tho!!! :))
