The space is filled with beautiful art, and it's connected to a workshop or roastery, which adds to the charm. The drinks are lovely. Along with the standard coffees and teas, they offer a specialty menu inspired by Philippine flavors! The calamansi matcha was my absolute favorite--one of the best renditions of matcha I've ever had. It had a subtle lime-like sweetness, was lightly sparkling, and just so refreshing. I didn't get to try the treats this time, but they had chocolate chip cookies, ube cookies, and banana bread that all looked amazing. Loved the whole experience, and I'll definitely be back!

I'm not a huge fan of their cookies or brownies, but I do appreciate their seasonal pastries and especially their danishes and scones. I appreciate the seasonal change up of the menu and how they use fruits in season to create their pastries. Over the summer I really enjoyed their fig and cheesecake danishes. I don't find many bakeries baking with fig so this was a sweet surprise and they delivered! Their menu switch up each season keeps me intrigued. Their matcha is decent and usually my go to. However, I am not a fan of the soups. They tend to taste bland. However, if you're in the area it's still worth visiting. There is very limited seating.

The cold brew is the perfect balance of bold but not super bitter, and the iced cortado is perfectly balanced. If you can get your hands on the elote cake, grab an extra piece because it's just THAT good. It tastes like a lightly sweetened cornbread that's moist and has real pieces of corn in it. It is the perfect compliment to a coffee and is a great pick if you don't want anything super sweet. They also have treats behind the counter for your pup, which my dog definitely enjoyed! I will be back for coffee and one (or two or three) more pieces of elote cake very soon!

Some would say it's too convenient and accessible to be true. I say that this neighborhood is ripe for all sorts of possibilities, and I am glad the owner (Daniel) sees this vision just as I do. This is a clean, bright, unpretentious spot serving high quality drinks and baked goods. Daniel is a sunset park local who grew up in the neighborhood and has perfected every little detail of this space himself. His enthusiasm is absolutely what the landscape has been needing for so long. I stopped by to grab myself an iced matcha and enjoyed talking about all the other things he has in store for the space. He offered me a taste of the strawberry milk. I generally avoid a lot of sugar but the taste was phenomenal without being overpowering. My drink was made with care, with just a dash of organic strawberry syrup, free of harsh dyes. It was exactly what I needed. Outside the space there is some outdoor seating for you to enjoy a peaceful moment to yourself. There is so much promise this cafe holds and delivers to the neighborhood. If you are a local or even just a commuter, stop by here and grab yourself a morning pick me up. You won't regret it.

The staff is friendly and after you order, they give you a number which they call out once your order is ready. We ordered: - Lentil Sambusa (2 pieces) - Crispy Chicken Caesar Wrap The lentil sambusa was warm and crispy on the outside and filled with flavor on the inside. The crispy chicken caesar wrap completely exceeded my expectations--the crispy fried chicken was delicious and the Romain lettuce, cherry tomatoes and shaved Parmesan complemented it very nicely. I don't like too much dressing, so I'd asked for the Caesar dressing on the side, which they kindly accommodated. I highly recommend you stop by for a tasty meal.

I got in line about 35 to 40 minutes before the race start, and didn't even get to order until 7 minutes until race start. At 2 minutes until race start I asked about the wait time, and they said it was still going to be a few minutes, so I asked if I could get a refund instead because I needed to get to the Start Line (which is roughly 2 minutes away). Then they said, the guy was literally finishing it, so I waited 30 more seconds, he handed me the sandwich, and I had to run for the start. Despite having gotten into the line with dozens of minutes to spare. Food itself, an egg sandwich, was fine, but I didn't really get to enjoy it, as I was literally running as I ate it.
