Grossly overpriced and dirty. The pillows and surfaces were covered in grime, yet the place smelled awful, like bleach.
The atmosphere is good but around 3ish it gets packed with kids and it gets really loud.
The Wifi doesn't work.

“I was sad that my usual fav shop (java & mug) next to this cafe had removed all of my favorite items and changed the whole vibe, which honestly was heartbroken for me”

This place has such a great energy. Bright light, nicely decorated, very nice friendly helpful staff. I had the strawberry matcha recommended by staff and it was delicious. I’ll definitely go back and you should too!

Cute place where you can play board games while you sip coffee and have a snack. There are multiple types of seating and a small variety of free board games. The coffee is good and the staff are always very nice.

Super cute cafe. Has a nice and comfy vibe to it. Drinks are good and I saw tons of people just sit to talk or study. Definitely a place to stop by and relax. Shout out to my carefree servers: Zoey and this Leah

I love this cafe so much u will always catch me here studying or having lunch w friends after school. The atmosphere is amazing I love the vibes and the setup it’s so earthy and peaceful. It gives studio ghibli cozy cafe and the food is super hearty and filling. Also love their drinks menu they have so many delicious drinks like milk teas, loose leaf tea, boba, smoothies, and milkshakes. Their deserts are also so good I will 100% reccomend this place.

“This is an absolute must to visit.”
This is an absolute must to visit. I was sad that my usual fav shop (java & mug) next to this cafe had removed all of my favorite items and changed the whole vibe, which honestly was heartbroken for me. However, this outdoor cafe place has not only good food, but creative and multiple bobas to try out. I'm especially happy when they have frappes which is one of the items that was removed from the other cafe. The vibe there is amazing and I'm glad to say that I will be visiting here often to enjoy my me time 😊

“Boba tea is so delicious here and the food as well.”
Boba tea is so delicious here and the food as well! My favorite is the tofu banh mi as it is served with chips. It is such an inexpensive place to hang out with friends. They have plenty of game to choose from. It might get busy depending on the day and time.

My first boba drink, went with the suggestion made by the girl at the counter. The best, Taro boba drink will be my forever favorite. Cute little place with alot of board games. Will be going back often. Their NYC cheese cake was delicious.
