Recently, I noticed the lines disappeared so we came for an early dinner. The interior is pretty cool. It's kit just tables and chairs but the design element is unique. Some seating are inside a honeycomb shaped booth, some are just in the middle of the dining area. We were seated at a table that resembles a birdcage. There's a lot of wood and warm colors, which makes the ambiance stand out over other ramen places. We ordered a ramen, omurice with katsu, some skewers and popcorn chicken. The spicy ramen was delicious, but there was no soft boiled egg as shown on the menu photo. All I saw was a broken egg white at the bottom of the bowl. 4/5. The omurice was nicely done. The egg was perfectly soft and silky with a nice curry sauce in the side. The katsu that came with it was crispy, hot and tasty. 4.5/5. The popcorn chicken was great. Perfect seasoning and crispy. 5/5. The skewers however, were the low point of our dinner. They did not appear they were cooked fresh. The meats were dry and tough. The scallops were OK but tiny. Chicken was average. The whole order did not satisfy. We also got an Amazing Lemonade and Thai iced tea. The lemonade was a very refreshing drink, and the Thai tea is just like all other places. Our server, unfortunately forgot his name, was excellent. Very personable and great at describing flavors. The friendliness extends to the rest of the staff too. It's a nice place to check out. Note their parking lot is fairly small, and shared with Paris Baguette next door. It's a 4.5, rounded up.

I was sooo impressed that my cake was exactly like the references I provided. The cake was a hugeeee hit with the guests and I really appreciated how every part of the cake was edible. Overall great service and experience!

My only complaint is the quality of the clear to-go cups. I've gotten drinks to go twice now, and both times I've had issues with either the cup breaking or the lid not snapping securely into place. Unfortunately, it did cause my coffee to spill in my car and all over my outfit, which was definitely frustrating. That being said, I don't think that reflects on the coffee or the staff at all. The service has always been nice, and the space itself is spacious and comfortable. I'd definitely come back, I just hope they consider switching to sturdier to-go cups!

It wasn't even on display, but I asked if they still had it and I'm SO glad I did! After one bite, I knew I had to have it. The combination of toasted almond and boysenberry was incredible and easily became one of my favorites. We also tried this month's Maple Brown Sugar Pecan flavor, which was absolutely exquisite. It reminded me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch drizzled with maple syrup: sweet, warm, and so comforting. Both flavors were amazing in their own way, and I'm already looking forward to seeing what Moo Moo Mia comes up with next!

It is shared with other businesses, but I didn't have any problem The cafe is a small family owned business. It was clean and organized with indoor seating. It has inviting and relaxing vibes. The menu includes; various assortment of tea, milk tea, three color dessert, smoothies, matcha, fruit tea, coffee, and espresso. In addition to tea cakes and muffins. They offer also some savory snacks. The cafe was clean. The young lady who received our order, was very nice and friendly. They had an offer to buy two drinks and get the third free. So, we ordered the following; -Mango Strawberry Smoothie 5/5 The tropical flavor of mango mixed with sweet strawberry gave the drink creamy flavor and velvety texture. It was heavenly. - Strawberry Matcha 5/5 The drink was perfectly sweetened and refreshing. Then, we found out that if you buy six items from the bakery, you get the seventh free. We ordered the following from the bakery; - 3 carrot Tea Cakes 5/5 I really enjoyed this carrot tea cake. It had coconut and raisins. The texture was incredibly soft and rich in flavor. It's a must try! - 1 apple cinnamon Tea cakes 5/5 - 2 Almond Tea cake 5/5 - Chocolate Muffin 5/5 We enjoyed our drinks and the fresh tea cakes and muffins. This cafe is a hidden gem in Arcadia.
