    This is such a cute and aesthetic cafe with a clean and calm vibe is located in a large shopping center, so parking is not an issue. The inside of the cafe has a few tables and seating areas that can potentially get packed during peak hours. The staff members were all very warm, friendly, and super helpful - also provided great recommendations. Ordered the following: Matcha Einspanner Amai Signature Pistachio Matcha Croissant Chocolate Cookie There was a wide variety to choose from their menu - especially from the matcha section. They also had a great variety of summer specials to check out! The Matcha Einpanner was creamy and smooth topped off with a rich layer of cream that adds to the matcha. My personal favorite was the Amari Signature which had a strong coffee flavor and a bit of sweetness. The pastries were all very delicious! Overall this is such a cute cafe, I definitely want to come back and try out their other drinks since there are a lot of different ones to choose from!

    MATCHA EINSPANNER

    In-line space in a large shopping center. Behind the competitor Coffee Bean building, which I'm sure makes business more challenging. A few indoor and outdoor tables. Modern and clean atmosphere. Order online or at the register. We ordered online, but our order was ready 30+ minutes earlier than the target time. It was ok for cold drinks, since they refrigerate and wait, but the hot drink was lukewarm at best. Just not the best practice for freshness to begin with, so that was frustrating. I got the einspanner iced matcha. Still not sure how it's different than any other basic matcha, but it was the same price as other matchas on their menu and was tasty. You can ask for less ice and sugar, if desired, which I always go for if offered.

    First time Came around 2:30pm Sunday they were sold out of coconut water for the coconut cloud :( which is what I wanted to try Early grey matcha - 8.9/10 I really like this drink but honestly I can't taste the earl grey very much but it's still yummy and I would get it again. We asked for coconut blended matcha (not on menu) and it was good! Service is very good cause they let us have our special request and she asked if we wanted it sweeter and adjusted to our liking. Coconut flavor is strong, texture is thick and good. 8.5/10 Overall solid valid matcha and good service Next time I'd like to try the mango sticky match and coconut water matcha if they have!

    Yummy coffee! This coffee shop replaced the delicious cookie shop Chip sadly but they're proving worthy one cup at a time. The inside is beautiful and tranquil plus parking is ample and free. I ordered a hot Vietnamese coffee which is one of their specialty drinks and it was so good and the best Vietnamese coffee I've ever had. Service was quick and the cost is comparable to local competitors nearby.

    Got to try this new coffee shop after our run at the beach. They were a little slow, but your patience will be rewarded as their drinks are pretty good! Got to try the mango sticky rice matcha and it was pretty good! Their tea was also pretty refreshing!

    New spot in the Albertsons Plaza on Beach Blvd. Place is aesthetically pleasing and thank god air conditioned. They have a big selection of drinks for tea and coffee drinkers, and carries some pastries. I've only had their coffee but it's a nice spot. Will need to come back for their tea. If you're a milk tea/matcha lover, might be a good spot to try, not many places nearby have milk tea.

    NEW CAFE!!! Such a beautiful little coffee shop! Not much seating. There's 2 couches and some chairs (no tables) More of a grab and go. Angel, the barista, was an angel. She recommended anything with a star on the menu! I love trying new banana coffee's but I ONLY want fresh bananas. Angel said they use the banana syrup here so I knew I wasn't going to like it so I didn't get it. We got the Vietnamese House Coffee and the Amai signature. Both drinks were so delicious with bold flavors. The Vietnamese coffee has a sea salt cream top which is such a nice compliment to the strong coffee. The amai signature was also really good. Good classic latte. Both drinks were not too sweet. Definitely will have to come back and try the matcha!!

    BANANA CREAM MATCHA

    This place deserves wayyyyyyy more recognition. When we walked in here, we were immediately welcomed by the kindest staff. Everything looked so good, but I decided to get the banana matcha. Banana matcha: 9.5/10 - some of the best banana matcha I've ever tried. I've tried many banana matcha and this one had to be the best! I love the banana cold foam mixed with the real banana pieces and matcha, which was not bitter at all. It was the perfect sweetness at 100% sweetness and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I love the clean girl aesthetic in here. The blues and whites in the room make me feel so calm and happy in a way. Overall, this place deserves 5 stars. It was so worth the 20 minute drive and I will definitely be coming back again!

    Amazing coffee spot offering a wide range of drinks. Love the matcha selection, the early grey matcha was phenomenal you can truly taste the quality of ceremonial grade without the flavor of the early grey overpowering it, and love the fact they are one of the few around that have Vietnamese coffee that will be my next try! The staff is very kind and the place is fresh with a modern aesthetic, not a place to study but 100% worth the stop on in Matcha is ethically sourced so we love that :')

    Best barista ladies in HB! Hi Abby & Angel! Stay sweet!
    Josie T.

    Everything Cream Cheese was soooo good and savory! Shout-out to Abby & Angel! It was perfect warmed up too! Also ordered Amari ice coffee for my hubby and Turon Banana Hot Coffee was different and so tasty. Clean atmosphere being a couple weeks opened. Bookmark this folks! Don't wait! C u again ladies with Amai (means sweet in Japanese)!!

    Love the ambiance. They have a big variety of coffee. My fave is coco coffee - which is vietnamese coffee!

    Matcha pistachio croissant

    The drinks and food here are equally good as the ambiance. Adore the simplicity of the interior setup that is both well-lit and inviting to anyone who steps inside for a refreshing cup of drink. Would definitely come back to try other drinks next time I'm in the area.

    Their MATCHA EINSPANNER is my all time favorite and the service is really great Thanks to the girl she's very sweet.

    It definitely was not what I was expecting. A messy little cafe tucked away in the corner of a…read moreWestminster plaza with eclectic decor and a bunch of furniture and supplies laying about. A (coffee?) stained curtain. Cafe employees watching Netflix after they serve you. I'm genuinely convinced this is intentional, It reminds me of a simpler time like going over to a friend's place and hanging out in their living room. I had a matcha affogato and my partner had an immortality tea. Both delicious and served with a genuine smile. Definitely a different experience and I'm grateful for it. 5/5 this place is based.

    7/10 Chrysanthemum Milk Tea - I didn't like this drink at all. My friend ordered two of these and…read moreone of the lids was literally ripped. The employee knew it too. She actually said, "Oh sorry, the lid isn't closed all the way. I tried to seal it twice but it wasn't working. I hope that's okay." It's definitely not okay when we have no other choice in the matter! Aside from the messy packaging, the drink was way too bitter. I really wasn't a fan. 1/10 Vibes - I want to touch on what the inside of the business looks like because... wow, it was jarring. It felt like I walked into some dude's basement. Mismatched curtains everywhere, 2 fish tanks that were straight up brown and green and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a yr, and sus couches just scattered around for no reason. There were cat treats sitting out too which was confusing because apparently there's a cat there?? There were like, 12 dudes sitting there and all watching whatever anima thing was playing on the tv. Absolutely not my vibe at all, but clearly it's catering to a very specific demographic. Cost - $7.65
