    I'm usually very particular about matcha since I've perfected my own recipe to suit my personal…read moretaste, but I have to say I really enjoyed their Earl Grey Matcha from the seasonal menu. It wasn't overly sweet and still maintained that earthy matcha flavor that many places tend to lose when they jump on the matcha trend. My husband ordered the Vanilla Bean Caramel Latte, also from the seasonal menu, and loved it so much that he said this is now his favorite coffee spot. Safe to say, whenever we're back in town, we'll definitely be returning!

    A lovely spot to kill time while my son was out on the water. Upon opening the door, I was greeted…read morewarmly by the staff and made to feel quite welcome. The seating is mostly at table tables along the wall walls of window. It was kind of neat to be able to sit and watch people walk by in the traffic as it ebbed and flowed toward the bridge. The early morning was rather quiet outside so it wasn't noisy at all. I had a lovely chai latte, extra spicy. It was perfect after the chilly walk to this little space of warmth. They had a nice selection of pastries, ultimately I chose a danish because I love them. This one did not disappoint. It was tender and flaky and went perfectly dipped in my chai. If ever, we are in the area again, I will definitely pay another visit. It was nice to step into a local place that wasn't a chain. I think the quality of staff and consumable offerings was just so much better than you would find at one of the other places.

    Small, cute shop in Oakland. Not really a great place to sit and eat -- there are two tiny tables…read moreoutside that are usually taken, none inside, and no other benches or tables nearby -- but an excellent place to buy pastries to take home. The good: Their cookies have the perfect texture and the cocobae is superb. The milk buns are pillowy and filled with delicious cream plus crunchy craquelin. Their swirly sweet laminated bun that changes flavor every month is a delight and the bottom is deliciously caramelized. The merengue tarts are perfection. Pound cakes have great flavor altho the texture is not traditional and doesn't hit me right. Can't miss with a mochi bite tho. The bad: The savory treats have been underwhelming (tried 4 different ones iirc). Drinks include matcha from Asha tea house (very nice choice) but are very overpriced (like $7 for matcha? what?) so I skip them. Sweet treats still so excellent and unique that this spot gets 5 stars.

    I got the latte and added pandan cream on top. It was good. Flavor of pandan could have been…read morestronger but good. The chocolate banana croissant was SO GOOD. I wish it had a tad more banana but it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!! Staff are super nice! Long line but it goes by fast. Only like two small tables outside so not really a place to sit and chat - more like grab and go. The cashier told me they recently opened another cafe in Alameda, one with a parking lot. Thank goodness! Because parking was terrible!!

    Bake Sum - Inside of Hojicha Double Chocolate Cookie ($4) - great, strong hojicha flavor. I still prefer the black sesame snickerdoodle though.
