You can tell they put a lot of care into what they serve, but what really stood out to me was how friendly and welcoming the staff were. They made the whole experience even better.

Their matcha is pretty good and I love the variety of options for flavor add-ins. It's also so super cute inside and totally instagrammable! The prices are just crazy, though. I made my peace about $15 for a matcha and a croissant, but with the taxes, tip, and the extra fees added on, I paid over $20 for this quick stop. To top it off, they have QR codes to post and tag them on your IG story for a reward but it was not recognizing that I tagged them so it was a waste of time and disappointing. I sat in a booth and it was a little messy. I had to wipe down the table surface, and there were napkins and pieces of food on the ground. It's tough because I do love this spot but I was disappointed this trip.

Hi, good afternoon…read more We wanted to leave some feedback about our visit to your café today. The café itself was lovely, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. Unfortunately, we also witnessed a manager speaking very harshly to an employee and raising their voice in front of customers. It was uncomfortable and awkward for everyone who was there, including both the staff and the guests. We understand that problems can happen, but situations like this should be handled privately and with respect. We hope that next time we visit, we won't have to witness something like this again. Thank you for taking the time to read our feedback.

My most recent favorite is the banana miso hojicha that's definitely worth a try! I've had their food before and it was ok but not something I would specifically come here for. The service here is always friendly which is definitely a plus. For the space they always have some great music playing in the background so depending on how you like to study/work this could be a plus or minus. I will say that despite having a lot of space they don't have a lot of places to actually work so you do have to get there early or go at odd hours.

The vibe here is great. Lively, a little cozy, and perfect for working or catching up with friends…read more The space felt really welcoming and inclusive. Service was great too. The guy helping us was really kind and checked if we had any questions. The drinks were really good flavor-wise, but they lean more smooth and liquid rather than textured. The hojicha had a nice cinnamony, nutty flavor, and the banana milk was really good because the espresso wasn't too strong so it leaned more banana matcha. I do wish there was something like a cold foam for extra texture, but overall I enjoyed both drinks.

They just opened, but offer all of Seedo's favorites. I went for a Mediterranean Salad with Chicken and the Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. The portions are perfect! I love the sizes of everything. The salad was perfectly dressed and filling. The banana bread, OMG! I dreamt about it all night and wished I purchased more! When you get there, the line moves quick! They really have a great opertaion where folks are putting sandwiches and baked goods out on for purchase, and others take orders and put them together. This location also have coffee! They have their own brew and make wonderful lattes and other coffee drinks. If you follow them on Insta, you get to see the really cool items they have. Now, you have to be sure you get in there in time because everything is made fresh and when they run out of baked goods, they run out for the day! They have all sorts of sweets, manakeesh, and sandwiches. My favorite is the pastrami. I can't wait to come back for more lattes and lunches. I'm also very happy for this location. It's beautifully decorated and have very friendly staff.

It's pretty small on the inside and super busy (at least when I visited!) so keep that in mind. The staff is so friendly! I decided to get a half sweet vanilla latte (iced) and a lemon blueberry scone. My coffee was solid (not mind blowing but not by any means bad -- pretty middle of the road). The scone though!! This scone was so freaking yummy. The tangy lemon icing balanced the blueberry flavors perfectly. I grabbed a seat on the patio to enjoy my coffee and scone and get some work done. The wifi worked great. I had multiple calls with no issues. I can't wait to come back to explore more coffee options and give the wines ago!

I didn't try any of the cocktail drinks but they honestly looked so good! I opted to try their strawberry ube matcha and YUM. The strawberry + ube was the right amount of strength where it didn't feel so sweet which is what I perfer.  They also have snacks and food for anyone who also is hungry or looking for a snack with drinking. I love that their motto is "happy hour all day!".

Good vibes. Tons of seating. Line moved quickly, but I'm sure on the weekends it's way busier…read more Friendly staff who work hard. 10/10 on the frozen matcha. I've never had a frozen matcha and this seemed like the perfect summery treat. I'll try it with strawberry next time. Lots of baked goods - I chose the banana bread because someone had raved about it, and it lives up to the hype. You can tell it's freshly baked with love. I will absolutely be back!

I was really excited about Paper Tiger Cafe since I'd seen so many positives reviews on social…read moremedia. I came in on a Thursday afternoon, and it was decently busy but not too packed. I liked how much space they had -- there were plenty of tables and seating, so it was great for getting some work done! They also had Internet and outlets. The employees were nice and efficient with getting my order. I went with the Matcha Cloud, which is basically a frozen matcha with cold foam. Unfortunately, I didn't like my drink as much as I wanted to. I felt like the iciness made the cream feel oily, and the crunchy texture was odd. The matcha taste was also not very strong, and it was very sweet. I ended up tossing out most of my drink. I think the cafe itself is great, but I definitely would want to try something else in the future. Definitely still recommend checking them out though!

The staff kindly suggested I try their yuzu tart instead, and I'm glad I did--it was absolutely delightful. They encouraged me to come back the following week at a better time for the croissants, and I took their advice. It was well worth it. The croissant was one of the best I've ever had--perfectly made and memorable. Service was quick, and everyone I interacted with was warm, kind, and welcoming. The space itself is small and quaint, which adds to its charm. Overall, a great experience from start to finish. I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you get the chance.

Lucky Cat is a modern café that blends specialty coffee, matcha, and creative latte flavors into a…read moremenu that feels more experimental than a typical coffee shop. We walked into a clean, contemporary space with an Asian-inspired influence, creating a relaxed atmosphere that works well for stopping by for a drink, catching up with friends, or taking a break from the neighborhood. The design is thoughtful without being overly fussy, with enough seating to accommodate both quick stops and longer visits. The drink menu is where Lucky Cat stands out, especially with its specialty lattes that incorporate unique flavors. The Miso Maple Latte is one of the more interesting options, combining a subtle savory note from the miso with a sweeter maple flavor that makes the drink feel different without becoming overwhelming. Their matcha also stands out for having a smooth, vibrant profile with a good balance between the tea flavor and added flavors. The Miso Maple Matcha with coconut cold foam and macadamia milk is a strong choice if you want something that still lets the matcha come through while adding extra layers of flavor. The Sweet Bloom Matcha Latte brings in wildflower honey and osmanthus for a more delicate floral direction, while the hojicha latte offers a deeper roasted flavor. Each drink feels intentional, with the flavor combinations working together rather than competing. The café also puts effort into its food and smaller menu items, with options like breakfast sandwiches and sesame chia pudding adding more variety beyond drinks. The breakfast sandwich combines savory flavors with a touch of sweetness and spice, making it a good pairing with one of their lattes. The sesame chia pudding is a lighter option that fits the café's overall approach to thoughtful, balanced menu items. The food selection is not extensive, but what is available complements the drink menu well. Service is efficient and the baristas help keep the experience smooth even when the café gets busy. They are knowledgeable about the menu and willing to explain the more unusual flavor combinations, which is helpful given the range of creative options. The combination of thoughtful drinks, creative flavor combinations, and a well-designed space makes Lucky Cat feel like more than just a quick coffee stop. It is a good place to visit when you want a specialty drink that feels carefully crafted rather than a standard latte or matcha.
