Since I have a problem with options, I ordered almost everything. I wanted to love everything, but sadly, it was just okay for me. It does the job, but there are other places where you can get similar items (albeit not all in one place) for likely cheaper for the portion. I would return for specific menu items and to try items I haven't gotten yet (looking at you teppan noods)! The egg crepe is decent but have had better in Flushing for a larger portion. The turnip cake is a little bland but has a crispy exterior and nice inside texture. Fantuan is filling and has crunchy youtiao inside and the pork floss gives it the slight saltiness. Popcorn chicken is always a crowd pleaser. Zhajiang noodles are a hearty meal and the meat sauce is tasty. Cream corn soup is okay. Love the soy milk and peanut rice milk!

Came here around 11:10 AM on a sunday, and it took about 20 minutes for our food to come out. It…read morewas a bit of a longer wait, but you can tell the food is very fresh. It's a small interior with seating for about 7 people, so you may need to take your food to go. We shared an egg crepe and a fan tuan with egg and sausage, which came out to a total of $24. I really enjoyed the sausage and the sticky rice of the fantuan, and the fried dough inside was very crispy. There wasn't too much dried radish or pork floss though. The egg crepe was very soft, and I enjoyed the flavors in the sauce.

I don't think I'd get it again but I'm glad I got to try it. I am so in love with this sweet little shop, and I love that you can come anytime for a cup of tea and a slice of cheesecake.

I'm a big fan of a simple matcha shop that uses a fair amount of high quality matcha in each drink…read more I'd say one of the strengths of Matcha 108 is that it doesn't overcomplicate the menu but sticks to the basics that all matcha lovers can appreciate. There is limited seating inside, but enough to sit and wait for drinks, or for a few groups to sit at the few tables. The staff was friendly and even with only one person working, they got the order out quickly.

2/5 I really wanted…read moreto like Peek Inn Cafe because the menu and photos looked promising (I also really enjoyed the restaurant that used to be there but closed, Cecily), but I felt pretty underwhelmed by the savory food. The biggest disappointment was the jambon beurre. The bread didn't taste fresh at all--it felt like it had been sitting around for a couple of days. Instead of being crisp on the outside with a soft interior, it was overly chewy and just not enjoyable to eat. My partner ordered the beef melt, and unfortunately, it wasn't much better. The beef tasted like a lower-quality cut than we expected, and while the sandwich looked great in photos, the flavor didn't match the presentation. The bread itself also wasn't particularly memorable. Ironically, the highlight of the meal wasn't even a main dish--it was the cabbage salad, which was fresh, crisp, and well-seasoned. Based on the menu and what we've seen, I suspect Peek Inn's desserts are where they really shine. The Basque chestnut cheesecake and the black sesame Madeline were executed pretty well, not being too sweet or heavy. Overall, I think Peek Inn Cafe may have stretched its menu a little too far. The desserts seem to be the real specialty, and I'd rather see them focus on those, along with a few lighter snack options, instead of trying to offer a broad selection of savory dishes that don't quite deliver. If I return, it'll almost certainly be for the desserts and maybe another order of the cabbage salad--but probably not for the sandwiches. I was very sad that as reductive as selective for my calorie expenditure, that it felt like the calories could've been spent better elsewhere, not even the money...

I've been here few times, usually for their milk tea, but this time I decided to switch things up…read moreand try their fruit teas with an egg waffle. I couldn't decide on a flavor at first, but the Portuguese egg tart egg waffle caught my attention. The combination of an egg tart and an egg waffle sounded too interesting not to try! It was slightly crispy on the outside and soft and custardy inside, with a nice eggy, milky flavor that really reminded me of an egg tart filling. Surprisingly delicious and definitely something I'd order again. For the fruit teas, I got the Pineapple and Lemon Passion Fruit. Both were super refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day, especially when I'm not in the mood for something as rich or sweet as milk tea. They also added a generous amount of coconut jelly, which made every sip more fun and chewy. Refreshing, light, and really satisfying overall!

I had a wonderful experience taking an iced matcha class at Kettl on Monday! I signed up for the…read moreclass before I got to NY and was able to work it into my busy schedule of being a cool aunt. My brother and I walked around the Greenpoint area and then he had to go pick up his kiddo from camp, so I explored the area then put Kettl into google maps thinking I was coming early for class to avoid the rain. I accidentally went to the wrong location and then it started pouring. The staff told me the other location was 10 minutes away by foot, so I hauled myself to it in pouring rain. Luckily I wore workout clothes and tennis shoes that day, but my raincoat was water resistant, not waterproof, so I got pretty soaked. I still arrived a few minutes early, and the staff let me take some napkins to dry myself off. The class was at the bar in the back of this flagship location. It was set up for two, but I was the only person who showed. Jayanna led me through a very detailed class, provided handouts and a soba tea cookie along with water, and answered a ton of questions I had. As a daily matcha maker, I knew I had a lot to learn. She showed me how to care for the different tools used to make matcha. We made three preparations: sparkling matcha, shaken matcha, and matcha latte. We went through each with various steps and measurements. She demonstrated what to do and then I would make the drinks for both of us. It was a very fun experience and I learned a lot. I also got to shop after the class with a 15% discount, so I got myself a custom single cultivar matcha called okuju made exclusively for Kettl and especially for lattes, and then some individually wrapped fancy tea bags of matcha genmai and hojicha for Eric when he travels. The class had an hour and a half of instruction and I spent a half hour asking about products and shopping. It is a very nice space and I would love to try some of the unique drinks on the menu plus take more classes. If you love matcha and learning, I recommend taking a class here or at the LA location if you are on the west coast!

It also wasn't creamy enough for a latte. The shiso white peach matcha soda was a fun experimental drink, but I feel like for a matcha drink, the matcha flavor was definitely dominated by the shiso and white peach flavors. It was really refreshing though for a hot summer day. Super adorable store! I want to try the matcha tasting one day!
