Thanks for starting a beautiful morning. Matcha and taro cream are sweet. I would order a salty instead of a fruity sweet brunch dish if ordering those drinks. Very good space, and pretty yummy food and drinks. Not cheap. But I guess every place raised price by inflation …

It must be our lucky day because there was no wait. Well, we came here at 2 PM. Lol. They promptly checked our vaccination cards and ID and we found an indoor seat. The outdoor seating area is really cute. The food was pretty good but the coffee was as expected. The service was quite good too. I think my only qualm is the price but this is new york...

Came here during a brunch and matcha craving, and it was surprisingly pack for 2pm on a Saturday. Lovely place with an outdoor patio seating area. As we came, we simply scanned the QR code and ordered on our phones, and the food would be brought to us. We ordered the chicken quesadilla (crunchy, flavorful and the chicken was well seasoned and moist), brioche french toast (filling, refreshing fruit, a combination of tangy sweet and creamy), and maple bacon & egg waffle (a hearty meal for those that love their protein; my brother added roasted tomatoes on his for the added juiciness). All of which was really good and flavorful. No complaints there. What I was really excited about was the matcha hot chocolate. Of all the matcha creations, this was one I never heard of. I ordered the matcha hot chocolate with soy milk. Highly recommend! The matcha masks the rich chocolate flavor and the soy milk made it more creamier, and also brings out both flavors of the matcha and chocolate than regular milk. My brother ordered the matcha bomb (which is a combination of both matcha and espresso, so double the caffeine). This is also a highly recommended drink, as my brother was pretty much wired the rest of the day. With regards to the atmosphere, I would say this is definitely a places college students would hang out and study. It does get pretty busy here, so I would suggest coming early. I would say this places would be considered average Manhattan prices (around $15 a meal), but they have really good drinks, a friendly staff, and very accommodating.

This place is so chic, fairly priced, a beautiful coffee shop aesthetic with a back patio to study/work in. The staff are so friendly and can accommodate even a picky eater. I ordered the lavender latte (delicious, not overly sweet) and honey cinnamon waffle with salmon on the side, BEAUTIFULLY presented. My friend had the strawberry tiramisu waffle with strawberry ice cream on top. A great, hearty breakfast/ brunch meal. I don't believe they had alcoholic drinks, but they did have faux spritzers and refreshers.

This review is long overdue, but better late than never. I've never seen a restaurant turn around so quickly and so much for the better after a bad experience. We were rewarded with 50% more coupon than our original meal, and we enjoyed our second experience to no end, earning the place five stars. One warning - it's self service, and you need to come in with that in mind. We came in for breakfast, my wife tried the salmon eggs Benedict and I tried the chicken salad. We were both very happy with the our choices, the ingredients were fresh and the dishes well prepared and visually pleasing. I learnt to specifically ask for my coffee with my food so that dishes are not served in intervals and that made a great difference. Everyone was very eager to please and though self-service, the service is good and everyone is pleasant. Definitely recommend to try if you're in the area. We will go back there for breakfast.

I came here for a late brunch on a Saturday and really enjoyed the experience. The space is bigger than it looks from the outside, with plenty of seating and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. It was busy but not overwhelming, and we were seated within about 10 minutes. I ordered the avocado toast and a lavender latte. The toast was fresh, well-seasoned, and nicely plated, and the lavender latte was one of the better ones I’ve had, floral without being overly sweet. My friend got a waffle dish and a matcha rose latte, both of which looked great and tasted good. Service was friendly and patient, even during the brunch rush. Noise level was moderate, easy to talk without raising your voice. Overall, a great spot for brunch or coffee near Union Square.

Kind service from the person running the register, and a solid matcha with good latte art, but the music is too loud and completely random. For me, ambiance is the top factor as to whether I'll return to a shop, and despite the ample space, the music makes this place a non-starter for me. Do not need to feel like I'm at a tween slumber party.

Came here for breakfast and really enjoyed it. The taro coffee was unique and tasty, definitely a highlight. The ordering system is all through QR codes at the table, so there isn’t much direct service, but everything came out smoothly. Cozy spot with good vibes — worth checking out if you’re in the area. A lot of seats are available both indoor and outdoor.

Edit: bumping from 3 stars to 4 stars because they were sweet and remade my drink, iced this time, since they explained their oat milk doesn't steam/foam well. Drinks: Got a rose matcha latte with oatmilk. I appreciate the large size and the effort in the design, but the matcha quality is lacking and the latte overall was watery--maybe it was the oatmilk they used? Honestly one of the most disappointing matcha lattes I've ever tried, especially at $9. If you don't LOVE matcha, then feel free to listen to the other reviewers who claim this is great. Service: it's standard. Nothing standout. They yell your name out when your order is ready and you bring it to your table yourself. Ambiance: Vibes here were good with music and warm low lighting inside, and with no music but natural light and clean air outside.

Cozy space with nice service and decent food. There was a bit of a waiting time to get a table (on a Sunday) mostly because nearly all tables had people working on their laptops. I think this is usually fine for weekdays but for weekends it’s not really in their favour to allow that. No complaints otherwise. I had the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and it was nice!

Maybe it was just what I ordered (matcha latte and avocado toast) but both were mid. It felt like I could make both items at home and better. It was also pretty pricey (about $23) so it didn’t feel worth it.

I bought a banana pudding to go. I’m walking home with it and realize it’s moldy!!! GROSS!!! I took a photo for proof. I’m honestly so shocked and disgusted. I can’t believe they sold this to me. Someone could have gotten really sick. What a waste of $6.50
