I tried the banana matcha and I can confidently say it's one of the best matchas I've ever had! I also tried the ube and the strawberry matcha, those were alright, the banana matcha is definitely the star for me. Honestly, this place gets 5 stars solely because of the banana matcha, it's that good. My only complaint is that I wish it wasn't so far from me because I'd definitely be coming back more often.

This cute café is connected to Terra Bella Nursery, where you can shop around for plants and even look for the adorable kitties that live there! There's so much to see and explore, and my friends and I ended up spending a good part of the afternoon wandering around and taking everything in. Such a fun little spot for coffee, food, plants, and a cute afternoon adventure. I'd definitely come back!

My go-to order is the Banana Matcha (it's so good!), and if you're more of a coffee person, I highly recommend the Spanish Latte. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. It's the perfect spot to study, catch up with friends over coffee, or even go on a cute coffee date. The aesthetic is beautiful, the space is welcoming, and the drinks are consistently amazing. I always enjoy bringing friends here because I know they'll love it too. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!

I had the chance to try three of their popular drinks: the Coco Ube Cream Coffee, White Truffle Tiramisu Cream Coffee, and the London Fog Salted Matcha. The drinks were top-notch and beautifully presented! The drinks are strong, but well-balanced. If you're a fan of Vietnamese iced coffees, definitely give them a try. I do want to point out that their coffees are quite strong. For me, it's stronger than your to-go Vietnamese iced coffee from your local banh mi joint. I love all the fun flavors. They also have non-coffee and non-tea based drinks, so you don't have to worry about being over-caffeinated! The cafe space itself is very cute but often packed on the weekends.

The shop has such a nice little vibe inside, and the baristas were friendly and welcoming. Their latte flavors are definitely bold and interesting, with combinations you don't see at your typical coffee shop. My friend and I each tried one of their specialty lattes and really enjoyed them. It was the perfect stop before a day of exploring San Diego. If I'd had more time in the city, I could definitely see myself coming back, grabbing a latte, and hanging out here for a while.

Got an espresso and chocolate croissant and even though I accepted the sparkling water, it wasn't there when I got my drink. The chocolate croissant was a bit bland.
