My Korean friend said it's very authentic though! Soufflé pancakes took ~15 mins but came out soft and fluffy The fromage (matcha + chestnut) looked stunning, with a unique honeycomb-like topping Overall, a great spot to chill, catch up, and take cute pics. Sad the shaved ice machine was down--next time!

Food 5/10 Atmosphere 7/10…read moreService 3/10 Tips: gets very busy on the weekends, but there is an upstairs seating area. I would say Service is pretty nonexistent as you order on the counter and you see yourself with no waitressing. The cashier lady was also pretty rude and not accomodating to my request (make my drinks less sweet) so they lose a store for that. Atmosphere is cute and vibes are great, definitely has modern and traditional Korean vibes. However, I would not say that this is like a traditional tea house? Having been to A LOT of tea houses in Korea, their menu and concept is definitely far from what a traditional teahouse is like. For instance, a traditional teahouse would have assorted rice, cakes and traditional, Korean desserts, however, I feel like this place used modern French pastries, and put a Korean twist on them, which I would say is not very Korean in reality. Baked goods were OK. It tasted stale. Losing a star for that as well.

What a cute little cafe in downtown Fort Lee. I was craving some strawberry matcha and found out…read morethey have teddy bear matchas here! Naturally, I had to check it out. As a strawberry matcha lover, this is what I went for. To my surprise, they also were serving pho! They had three types of pho on the menu, so I went with the chicken pho. My chicken pho came out very quickly and first. This was delicious and I could tell it was made with so much love. I also loved the lemongrass flavor they added to it. It was a very generous portion for the price. Shortly after, my strawberry teddy bear matcha was served. This was just the perfect balance of sweetness from the strawberry and earthiness from the matcha. The teddy bear on top was the cutest touch. Overall, the food/drinks were delicious, the ambiance was adorable, the staff were friendly, and the items were very affordable. I would love to visit again!

While deciding on what to order, the owner offered to make me a drink that was off the menu. How about a mixed one with strawberry, Matcha and coconut? Hey, if the boss is recommending it I'm all for it. My son got the ube and coconut. OMG, both drinks were so darn yummy. I am not an ube fan whatsoever, but my son insisted I take a sip. I have to say it was the best ube drink I have ever tried. The coconut mixed with the strawberry and matcha is a game changer. The teddy bear made of ice was so cute and makes for a cool IG pic. The owner was sweet enough to ask if we liked it. I gave her the thumbs up and said they were excellent and that we will be back. Oddly they also serve pho here, it's not a restaurant per se. We didn't have any so I can't comment. But definitely come for these yummy Vietnamese concoctions. Street meter parking only.

The owner is very kind, and everyone working there is just as friendly. The drinks are excellent. My favorite is the black sesame - it's packed with flavor and has just the right hint of sweetness. The coffee is tasty, and the prices are very reasonable. The scones and cookies always taste fresh and homemade - not frozen or processed. My personal favorites are the peanut butter cookie and the plain scone. They make everything there! I haven't tried the cakes yet, but it's on my list! It's a smaller space, but they've done a great job fitting in tables. I actually love that they're a bit closer together - it creates a more social, community feel. I've ended up having conversations with people around me (I've even practiced my French with a stranger!), which is something we don't get enough of these days. Overall, such a cozy, welcoming addition to the neighborhood. I come here a couple of times a week to work!

A tiny coffee place in Leonia…read more This place has such a good good coffee (well at least for my taste !!!!!) since I do like somewhat acidity in my coffee. All biodegradable material - which we don't find often in Bergen County. The Alsace cheesecake ($7.50) was solidly good too. What can go wrong with a cheesecake anyway ...? The seating is very limited though. Not many tables (if you can call them tables !!!!!) You need to squeeze in and we were seated right at the entrance ...

I've been here a few times and to be quite honest - I am grateful this place is a drive from me because I would eat here every day. The coffees are both unique and tasty (a bit on the milky side, but I like that), and the pastry were as fresh as could be. Not to mention, the place itself is lovely. When it's nice outside, they open the windows so you can sit and enjoy the fresh air while still being inside. Each time I've gone, the staff has been excellent too - super polite and willing to answer questions about the pastry. I've only had the coffee here, so I can't speak to their match or non-coffee drinks. Also, I am dying to try their cheesy Knafa, but it's so big I need someone to share it with!

The seating here is great and the booths can sit 4 people comfortably. There is a wide variety of beverages and sandwiches. My wife had the coconut latte here and liked it and I had the everything bagel cream cheese croissant, which was excellent. Since we sat down, they brought out the food and drinks to us, with a very small wait time. This cafe has pup cups and is dog friendly. No matter what time I pass by this place, it is always full of people. I recommend this cafe! We had a nice time here and will be back.

Whether you're with kids, on a family outing, hanging out with friends, or just looking to recharge solo, this spot is perfect for any occasion. The food is great, made fresh right before your eyes, and the prices are very reasonable. For my part, I had my beloved hazelnut latte, while my husband went for a classic, straight coffee. The kid opted for cold brew and a matcha bingsoo. If you've never had bingsoo, you're in for a treat! The presentation alone is a work of art, featuring a fish-shaped serving of matcha-filled ice cream, topped with matcha ice cream, red beans, mochi, nuts, and light, fluffy ice shavings. One word: sublime! The staff is friendly and great at making recommendations. They also know how to brew a perfect cup of coffee: strong, just the way we like it. The space is well-maintained, and parking is metered, so keep that in mind.

Grabby toy machines located near the community table. We ordered several coffees, one black (me), one with cream and sugar and a cold brew. Their coffee is good! And we ordered a Green Tea Match Bingsu and got a massive bowl of shaved ice milk infused with mochi, a huge dollop of sweet red bean, surrounded by almond slivers and top with Bungeoppang (Taiyaki), a Korean fish shaped pastry that was split opened, smeared with sweet red bean and filled with green tea ice cream. Was it good? If you like your deserts on the sweeter side, yes it was. The shaved ice milk is richer than others I've had. The red bean paste is richer and very sweet. The mochi that is infused into the shaved ice adds texture as well as additional sweetness. The green tea ice cream is well, greet tea ice cream. And the Bungeoppang elevates higher. Is it my jam? Maybe not. A spoonful or too was enough. For what it is, amazing. I hear they have a mean Mango Bingsu that's seasonal, so yeah I'll be back!
