It's a small cafe not too far from Angeles Crest. We decided to go here after hiking since it was…read morethe closest place with matcha (that wasn't Starbucks). There is not a lot of sitting, more of a grab and go type place. We tried their hojicha, matcha and iced coffee. They were all okay-ish. I got the matcha, I can't speak in details about the other two. But I was told they were all more milk than anything. The matcha was okay. I can't say it was a high quality matcha, I felt like I was drinking oat milk and ice. The service was good, they looked a bit under staffed or maybe too many people walked in. Initially they had one person making the drinks and simultaneously on the cashiers. Then a second staff joined in to help. But overall pretty friendly despite the circumstances.

Felt compelled to leave a review after reading some of the negative reviews. This place is the…read moreantithesis of Starbucks and every other extra-large-size-offering-full-of-sugar-and-colors type place. The reviews mention minimal flavor, sweetness, etc. Take a look at this place. It's minimalistic. Hence, it follows that the drinks are minimalistic. In other words you're not going to get a ton of chocolate, vanilla, sugar, etc. in your drinks. Yes: it's expensive. I paid nine dollars for an iced oat milk mocha. Ouch! However, I have a feeling that the employees are paid well, and all ingredients are of the highest quality. Again, this place is not Starbucks. If that's your cup of Joe, then stay away.

Took some pics while we were there.

It's within walking distance, and over time it's been really nice to see how their coffee flavor profiles have evolved. They've landed in a sweet spot that feels thoughtful and well balanced.

It's the kind of café where you can slow down, enjoy a drink, meet a friend, or just sit and take in the rhythm of the day. Service is always kind.

We've been coming to this place for the past 4 years and truly loved it under the previous owners…read more Unfortunately, ever since the new ownership took over, the experience has completely changed and the quality it's not the same at alllll The new owner was extremely rude, unprofessional, and clearly lacks customer service skills. Today, on Mother's Day, we ordered avocado toast and quiche with salad. After waiting nearly 40 minutes, our food finally arrived -- and I was honestly shocked by the portion size and the poor quality of the avocado toast (I'll attach the photo). After politely speaking to the waiter and waiting for assistance, no one came back. I eventually had to go inside myself and speak directly to the owner. Instead of resolving the issue properly, she simply said they couldn't remake it and offered "extra avocado" instead. After waiting another 5 minutes, she told me to go sit outside and they would bring it out. They brought very tiny avocado slices. What should have been a beautiful Mother's Day experience was completely ruined. In the end, my husband had to go inside and request a refund. We are beyond disappointed and will never return. Customers deserve kindness, respect, and proper service -- and sadly this place no longer offers any of that. Avoid this place if you value good service and being treated with respect.
