Found this place while wandering around at 10am. We had matcha latte with crystal boba which was so so yummy, and my partner coconut latte with boba which was really strong. Such a cute little café. They also have clean restrooms.

Came across this new cafe while roaming around Chinatown Flower Market Fair. The owner was nice and understood my broken canto lol. Apparently this used to be an old office space, but I'd 110% rather have this cafe. We ordered their osmanthus latte and immediately loved it. We will be back for their other options. And yes, they offer durian latte too!

If you love Taro milk tea, you'd love the one from here. I saw a sign outside advertising boba so I gave it a try. I'm so happy I did! The woman working there was all smiles and you don't get that alot nowadays. Great place for boba!!

Tasty foods and beverage in the heart of San Francisco Chinatown district. Small place and has tables to sit at. Recommend s

What a nice little place. I had an iced green tea which was strong and flavorful. The lady behind the counter was friendly. It's sweet that she accepts UPS packages for her neighbors. I'll be a frequent customer!

Delicious hot coffees. We got the honeycomb latte and sesame seed latte and both were very subtle, not overly sweet. Very cute place. Dairy free drink substitutions too.

Small Chinatown coffee shop, don’t expect modern looks but do expect delicious coffee! I appreciate it not being a generic new coffee shop, but a small business that makes great drinks. The owner is so sweet and makes a great coffee ◡̈ I was looking for a coffee shop to do some work in, and this was perfect, very low key with some modest tables. Wish they got more business but I also appreciated it not being crowded to do some work. Definitely check out their specialty drinks, great for coffee enthusiasts but maybe not the coffee purists.

Great drinks. Great prices. And the service is really good also. Worth the price. Cool little location in China town

It’s a new place. Not bad. The staff speaks English. I would leave a tip next time. The atmosphere is a bit off. The color and the decoration is alright. It needs brighter and warmer lighting. More delicate art too. The drink is good quality.

TLDR: cute little coffee shop which I am trying a few more flavors. The black sesame wasn’t very sesame but the oolong was great I had the oolong iced latte and it was sweet but very strong in coffee flavor. As for the sesame, that was a bit disappointing as I thought it was a bit watery and lacking in a strong sesame flavor. Overall I would come back and try a few more flavors

dumplings were very tasty but they were $18.

Solid option for caffeine and boba lattes in Chinatown. Quick and friendly service, lots of seating, some unique drink options. Tapioca had good consistency

The food is very below average, no taste. Disappointed unfortunately, and the gentleman uses a microwave, the food is frozen. I'm so sorry.

the food was obviously made frozen, like the stuff you get from the grocery store.. i ordered a wonton soup ($13) but it was flavorless and you could tell it was not homemade. the wontons were hard and could tell they were premade/frozen. not worth the price point. after that we went to another chinese cafe that sold good wonton soup for $9. and my boyfriend ordered oolong milk tea, that wasn't good either. it was also flavorless, tasted like water, and also there was no ice in it? 😭 i'm honestly confused how this cafe has almost 5 stars. i do think the service is nice, they seem like good people. but they do need to improve their food

I wanted to go somewhere with boba and food and I found this place with friends when I was walking by. I had to repeat my order multiple times and they still got my drink wrong. The soup and the mac n cheese was really overwhelming, I couldn’t even finish half of it because all I tasted was bitter tomato sauce. My friend ordered dim sum and it took forever to come. When we finished our dry pizza and was ready to go was when it came. It was like $30-$40 per person for food n a drink. Yeah… not gonna come here again.
