I went here with my girlfriend after having it recommended to us on Instagram. Needless to say, it was a waste of both our time, money and energy.
If you see this cafe's ads on social media DO NOT GO. You will be met by a menu with no sort of continuity, an awful price tag, a complete lack of helpful customer service, and the general "Vibe" of the place fits something out of a fever dream better than a cafe.
When we walked in our initial reaction wasn't awful but the second you look at the place a little harder you start to notice the dank, mildewy contents of the store. I understand the fusion idea while a cool and unique set up is executed disgustingly. The furniture is meant to be sat on while eating, leaving it up to the customers and staff to keep them clean, they are not. "Luxury / Designer" Vintage furniture left around to be molded and dirtied with overpriced "Matchas" and "Coffees".
After walking past their collection of dust bunnies and sticky upholstery we made it to possibly the most standoff-ish, irritable, and unhelpful barista. Since it was our first time here we had asked him what he recommended and what was in some of the drinks. He scoffed at us, genuinely like a character out of a book. Not only was he short both physically and conversationally and unhelpful he was being rude to his coworkers. He also was wearing sunglasses indoors???? It wasn't even bright in the room, there's no windows or anything, just more "Vintage Lamps" to lighten the place.
We ordered a plain matcha, a salmon bagel, and an iced latte. The 3 items we ordered took what felt like half an hour to get finished. There was only one girl ahead of us who's order was smaller than ours. Then we actually got the "Food". The matcha was somehow watery, grainy, and chalky at the same time, we don't even know how he achieved such a disgusting consistency. What was supposed to be a double shot of espresso was so sour and diluted, if he had given me a cup of milk I would've been happier. The person ahead of us who ordered a latte as well had a completely different color than ours. The salmon bagel was $14? and unremarkable. The ratio of salmon to cream cheese was overwhelming, if anything he could've given us the salmon on the side to enjoy .
Then we heard the barista's name from a coworker, Kenny. Hopefully when his awful drinks and even worse attitude catch up to him, he will find a job that he is actually good at, far far away from customer service. From the short time we were there he was rude, unhelpful, and made both my girlfriend and I feel like inconveniences. He also kept trying to "flirt?" with the customer ahead of us, bless her heart she was about a whole head taller and looked about a decade younger than him.
Finishing off the experience, a man who walked in who we assumed is the owner. My first impression is so odd. I have never seen someone make an entire shift look so uncomfortable than when he walked in. He let his kids scream, play, and cry about anything and everything. One of the baristas had to play nanny and take care of his kids for him. Before we left we left the kids weren't listening to him spurring him to then scream across the cafe for them to come to the back.

TL:DR - The baristas are unwelcoming & can't make a drink, and are unreasonably expensive for the food and service received. The cafe is filthy, smells of mildew, and has a film of stickiness on everything you touch. And good luck with finding parking.
