Order their green tea latte if you love green tea as much as I do. Best one I've had. For their dessert, you can't go wrong with their crepe. Very well made and deliciously different than other crepes
IvyNovember 20, 2012Great place to hang out if you want a coffee place where you could chill, eat great food & sip some coffee. It's not too crowded, it's more of a relaxed homy ambiance. People are great too.
오미헤September 10, 2012their KIMCHI CABORNARA is the best! its an interestin taste of italian & korean fusion together its a popular thing! oh yeah, their mitshutgaru drink is fantastic with super sweet taste for all ages
The Guatemala coffee is nice and simple. Service is always great. Internet is sometimes shoddy. But this is an overall great place to study, eat, and drink coffee!
- 오미헤August 23, 2012i love their real fruit juice ! strawberry fruit juice so aithentic itz the best & their hawaiian pizza is two thumbs up ! love the fanvy big comfy cafe like this ! all ethcity welcome !
So, the atmosphere is awesome (pop videos on all screens), the blended mocha is perfect and they have a large variety of baked goods (including cute cakes!) Oh, and free wifi and open late...fabulous!
Excellent coffee with even more excellent baristas. Desserts are fabulous and reasonable, and all the servers are friendly. Try talking to them!
JohnAugust 31, 2014The fish rice burger was good! Great with kimchi. Avoid the kimchi Fried rice, it was overloaded with onions and no kimchi in sight!
The french almond macaron latte is to die for! And it also comes with a cocoa macaron!
Erica ChangMarch 16, 2014Cool place... But the staff needs to be more knowledgable of wine etiquette. They also needs to learn how to serve craft beer
Wow. Not sure why they changed it, but the atmosphere has been ruined. The fun K-pop music, video screens, and colorful lights are gone, replaced with a jazzy, quiet restaurant vibe. Not coming back.
Michelle LeeFebruary 27, 2014Mochi waffle is good. If you check in be prepared to see it blasted on one of the large screens. Eh I could do without check in advertising. slow wait staff who kept "working on the bill" after paying
Milk & TeaMarch 3, 2012The vanilla latte is not so great but would come again for the Green tea latte and pastries.Comfortable place to chat with friends.
- And if you see a guy in a baseball cap, talk to him about give him feedback - hes the owner! there'll be perks in there for you!
AshleyJadedJuly 29, 2011Cream cheese & Pistachio Macaroons are a must! Sit back and enjoy the K-pop videos!
Logan VaughnAugust 31, 2014The food was great, service horrible. Our waiter disappeared for over 20mins, the desert came first, and each of us got our food at least 10mins apart. Our server was replaced by a better guy tho.- Michelle LeeFebruary 27, 2014Honestly the macarons are just ok, too sweet to be honest. I've had better macarons elsewhere. The shaved ice is also slightly too sweet (Blockheads is way better)
- Great place, but will suddenly close early with no regard to business hours. Be forewarned if you plan to go late.
- They changed their menu and now all the food is 6.99. The food is pretty good for the price. Their wifi doesn't work at times, so be weary if you need to do work here.
What is in this "green tea latte"? Milk and green tea. Wow. They even charge you $3.50 for it. Wow.
peach ice tea, kpop being shown all over the ceilings is super amusing
Benji KoshySeptember 15, 2011With the exception of some pastries, the menu doesn't taste that great. Ambience is good, but am yet to have something impressive.
Their service is horrible. Make sure you get their attention when you come in or else they won't even take your order for a long long while.
Ryan MattesonJanuary 15, 2012The food was not good and the service was downright awful. Can't speak for the bakery but if you're in the area go around the corner to Loft.
