We got an osmanthus matcha latte and an earl grey matcha latte, both with oat milk and 50% sweet. Their drinks are on the sweeter side so 50% was perfect. The matcha flavor was so strong and it complemented the earl grey/osmanthus flavor really well. I want to go back to try the other drinks because they all look so cute!!

Really liked this cute cafe - it's located in the Downtown Burlingame area, so parking might be…read morechallenging, but there's a lot of public parking lots available with a short walk away. There's a limited number of seats inside, but they also have a small outdoor patio as well. Good place to hang out and chill if you're able to grab a seat. I ordered the Gui Hua Oat Latte, since that sounded pretty unique. There was other drinks that I was interested in trying like some of the matcha drinks, but I rarely see an osmanthus-inspired drink at coffee shops. It is made already with oat milk, so I didn't have to ask for any milk substitutions. I thought it was pretty good in terms of a latte, however, I wish the osmanthus flavor was a little stronger. The barista mentioned that the latte would have more of a floral taste, but it felt pretty faint. Cost was pretty similar to other coffee shops in the area, since it was $8-9 for my drink with oat milk already included. Other than that, would come back if I'm ever back in the area. I like the cozy vibes and fun drinks that they have!

We came on a Saturday around 7pm and there was no line but the place was lively, we got lucky and didn't have to wait, probably because most people were still at dinner. Fork ordered: Tiramisu and a latte The latte was good. Nothing to get excited over, but well made. The tiramisu is a standout. It has this nice crunchy chocolate shell on the outside with a smooth, creamy center and just the right hint of coffee. As a tiramisu fiend, this is one I'd absolutely come back for. Spoon ordered: French flan I don't usually go for flan, but this one is different!!! I do absolutely love the custard layer in a fruit tart, so imagine that with a firmer texture and a richer vanilla flavor. It sits in this perfectly thin, almost hidden pie-like crust. It's honestly divine and highly recommended. Before we leave, we typically get a treat for the next morning to have with our chai. I love the banana bread and Fork goes for the croissant. Overall, such a charming spot for dessert and coffee, especially if you can grab a table outside.

The crowd was a mix, with many younger groups dressed up for cute afternoon tea photo ops, which made the vibe feel fun and lively! We ordered mostly from the savory toast section, and everything was beautifully plated and delicious. The prosciutto fig jam toast was such a hit that even the kids loved it. We ended up ordering a second one. We also spotted some huge, colorful salads at nearby tables. I'm usually not a salad person, but they definitely looked tempting for my next visit!

It was clear that there is either a lack of awareness or a significant bias in how guests are served. Given the quality of your offerings, it is unfortunate that the experience was overshadowed by such poor service. I had to get up for the basics and they were not brought to me like everyone else. I hope you will take this feedback seriously to ensure a more inclusive and equitable experience for all your patrons.

There are lots of seating options both inside and out. The servers chat with the customers and you get the sense that there are a lot of regulars that get to know the staff. I was disappointed with the coffee. When I travel for work, I typically order espresso drinks for my morning coffee because the drip coffee is unpredictable. With espresso, you expect a dark roasted bean with a rich flavor. Unfortunately, I think they are using light or medium roasted beans for their espresso because the espresso was quite bitter (even in a cappuccino). That said, I came back each morning I was in the area. The seating area is so pleasant and the bay air can't be beat!

It's the kind of spot you'd want to hang out in, whether for a quick coffee or to spend some time relaxing. Unfortunately, the espresso was a big letdown.
