Came here with my bf to get some work done and it was great! He hadn't tried this place before and he was pleasantly surprised. We got the Island Latte and an iced Matcha Latte. Both were so good! The staff were friendly, the indoor vibe was really chill and the music was also good :)
My husband and I came to this location and it did not disappoint! It’s a really small coffee shop. The employees are nice. I got a bacon, egg and cheese taco and it was good. Salsa was also really good, not spicy, but good flavor. My husband got the bacon, egg, and cheese on a danish and that was also really yummy! We also shared and apple danish which was yummy! I ordered the montblac and he got the black Forrest and it was also delicious!!
Lily is the best! She made great recommendations and was very nice. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee was good, as was the almond croissant. There was a line that formed as I ordered, they got everyone's order done quite efficiently, which matters for a morning rush.
Had a wonderful matcha latte here! Staff is so friendly, and it has a great, relaxed atmosphere. There were several people there either studying, working, or just hanging out with friends. Will definitely save for when I’m in the area again!
I recently tried a fascinating blend of coconut and pandan flavours coffee in a delightful beverage called Island Latte. It is on the sweeter side though. The Spanish latte also seem interesting, would give it a try on my next visit. The barista was nice and gave some recommendation as a first timer. It was a unique and enjoyable combination. It is not a very big cafe but offers a cozy atmosphere with the option of outdoor seating.
My boyfriend and I came here on Valentine's Day and It's so cute! A very comfortable seated place. I have horrible anxiety but the music and vibes really soothed it. They were quick and polite. I ordered the matcha latte with regular milk and the woman notified me that matcha is really sweet. I personally like sweet but it's still nice to know what I'm getting. I highly recommend
Small but comfy coffee shop on Richmond I tried their Matcha latte, which had good matcha flavor but on the sweeter side. The interior is on the smaller side with chairs and tables along one side. They do offer WiFi and there are plugs along the seating so a solid place to study / work.
The Black Forest, black island or delight matcha are my go to. So far my favourite place to get matcha.
