What people say

[Matcha review only] Veeeery underwhelming matcha latte with a disappointing price tag. I ordered a standard iced matcha latte with less sugar at The Library and the total came to almost $9. I don't usually order matcha outside because of how pricey it is nowadays, but I was craving it and now I'm regretting it. T…

this little hidden gem made me the best latte I've ever had in my life. It is pretty tight in there, minimal seating, so it is not a place to sit and enjoy your beverage... but enjoy it you definitely will! Staff were perfectly lovely and very friendly.
