This is hands down the worst black sesame matcha latte I have ever had, if I can even call it that. Since there was zero black sesame flavor and just a handful of seeds dumped into the drink, the marketing is misleading. Skip this place at all costs.

Their coffee is solid and I think they make their own pastries as well. Years ago they used to do donations for community causes, including ones I led, however I get that times have been tougher for small businesses the past few years. For work events, we've gotten High XII to cater breakfast platters, including coffee, breakfast sandwiches or their avocado toast. They've always been on time and fit our budget. Their staff have always been friendly and provided good service even during a busy lunch rush. Good neighborhood spot, support small business!

They have a main menu, and some seasonal drinks where they partner with chefs to develop a creative and delicious seasonal drinks! I've come here several times, and I love everything they do. Their pastries are fantastic. I love all of their coffees. My favorites on the speciality menu are the butterscotch or golden milk lattes. Those never disappoint and they are always the perfect level of sweetness, creaminess, and beautiful. The last time I visited, I tried a black sesame latte collab they did and it was wonderful as well! So delicious and I loved the nutty sesame flavor and that the black sesame and coffee didn't overpower one another. The baristas are always very nice as well and they always brew drinks with beautiful art! I have loved this place since it opened and the quality of the drinks and experience has never declines for me. Highly recommend a visit!

Coffee is reasonably priced but their sandwiches were pretty up there, starting at $9.50 Coffee came out after a few minutes. Sandwich was taking upwards of 12 mins.

None of the cashiers knew how to do it and management is no where to be found... nothing a call to the bank can't fix but won't be coming here again. And don't recommend if you want customer service that match the prices theyre charging.

I love this plaaaaaaace!!! Please try this place If I lived closer, I would be coming here…read moreeveryday. First of all, the ambience is so cute and warm. The vibes are far beyond just immaculate. There's not a whole lot of seating area, but it was empty when we got there, so we just sat and chatted for an hour by their little fireplace thing. The place gives clean cozy mid century modern bar vibes. Minus the alcohol. Service was 100/10 as well. They were so patient with us as we couldn't decide what to order from their delicious selection of drinks. We ended up getting 4 drinks for 3 people because of that My favorite was definitely the golden nectar. It had such warm fall flavors while being light and refreshing. Second favorite was the matcha calamansi. Wasn't sure if the combo would be good, but it was!!! Overall, amazing cafe!!! 10000/10 they also have a little dog that came out to tentatively greet us for a couple minutes haha
