    Solid neighborhood coffee shop! Had their drip coffee. It was my first coffee of the new year. They source from variety. It was definitely medium roast and tasty. Super fast service. Vibes are very homey + comfy. Great place to hang out with good wi-fi.

    i got their lavender matcha, which was a beautiful mix of green & purple! the drink was a bit too milky for my preference, but i did enjoy the light lavender taste. i've never been to a tibetan coffee shop before & also got to try a sip of their butter tea, which was super unique & savory. it's definitely a well-loved neighborhood spot, and the ambiance is absolutely perfect for a peaceful reading session! i'd love to come back & try their strawberry matcha :)

    Cute Tibetan cafe. Loved their ambience. Price is reasonable too. Went their on a rainy saturday morning and it was pretty much empty. They have cute merch, beautiful paintings and lots of tibetan books. I got strawbery matcha and tibetan tea. Not a fan of tibetan tea, so it was okay. It was made fresh, unlike arya cafe where they use powder Mac tea. Strawberry matcha was creamy and not too sweet. Perfect for my liking. I wish they had plastic straws or a sippy lid for drink.

    So glad I visited this cafe after watching the indie short film "butter tea". It was super busy 3pm on a Saturday. They have an awesome collection of merchandise and is available online too. Butter tea is interesting.... I better get used to it since I will be in EBC this summer

    Don't feel like coffee? I enjoy getting this fizzy Sound drink on ice.

    I love the aesthetic here, the environment is calm, but there's lots of Tibetan merch to check out. I never had Butter Tea, that was subtle and nice. Their Strawberry Matcha is tasty too. The coffee is good and strong as well. Everyone's always been nice there, and on breezy days they open the doors for fresh air.

    The yogurt parfait is 10/10 but the if u want matcha then this is not the place but i haven't try their coffee yet

You got clothing, accessories like house colored ties, socks and hair bows, wands, housewares, books, toys etc. There's also a small section for New York exclusives like t-shirts, mugs and socks. Design is black and gold with the words Harry Potter New York on it. I got a pair of socks for $8.00....not bad. For those who live near a Universal Studios, you will see some items here that they also sell in the theme parks. There's also a small cafe area for your pastries and drinks. My friend got a mini sized "happee birthdae harry" pink cake + pumpkin juice. I had a sip of the pumpkin juice and it tasted like thick consistency apple juice. It's not bad but it's not something I would personally order. When it comes to the food items, think novelty over quality. It's good for the 'gram, ya know? There's one single bathroom is located on the second level. Be sure to check out the Dark Arts/green Slytherin room. Plenty of photo ops in this store.

I cannot believe they don't serve hot food starting around 8:15pm and they close at 11pm. They only have cold items like hummus and veggies and sweets. And apparently, no outside food. Definitely a place to avoid if you want to eat a meal and play games after 8pm. It's not fun to play on an empty stomach!

This is definitely not the case at the Main Street Board Game Cafe! The $15 entrance fee makes perfect sense to me... as they have a great variety of games in surprisingly immaculate condition, and very knowledgeable staff that are happy to explain how all of the games are played. The staff are really what set this cafe apart from others like it. Learning the rules from an expert is what makes complicated strategy based games less scary and more fun!! Everything is also very clean and well maintained, and the food is tasty. Definitely not the fanciest or most complex stuff on the menu, but who's coming here for the food anyway? They make a yummy grilled cheese, and some really good strong espresso based drinks. They have a great selection of teas from the clipper ship tea company as well.

Rupsi is the owner and she is so adorable; truly passionate about providing an artistic space that promotes good energy. I love that about her. Had the pleasure of meeting her during my visit. The highlight here is the coffee (of course). You need to try the Turkish coffee. I forgot what kind of latte I got here but it was great. The friend I went with got a chai and he loved it too. The design of the cafe is so intentional... the decor shows Rupsi's desire to have a space that radiates good vibes. I'm obsessed with the fact that she has in-house DJs playing to make your coffee trip a unique and pumped up one. I had to stop myself from spending lots of money here because the jewelry and accessories that she has in store are sooooooo cute lol.

They also have a little section where you can purchase jewelry, coasters and keychains just to name a few. There is some seating here to enjoy your coffee at. They have a few food items too, but I did not get food. I tried the Turkish coffee and an iced latte. The Iced latte was very milky. The Turkish coffee I really only got because it comes in a beautiful pot/cup. It is not something I would think I like but I was wrong. I liked it more than the Iced latte. I was shocked. Their cups they have here are cute as you can see in the pictures. It is a good vibes only place. If I am in the area I would deff come back and try out a different drink and give it another chance.

It's $30 to spend an hour with the cats (a little bit less on Wednesdays,) and they take reservations. Be advised that if you cancel your reservation less than 48 hours in advance, you do not get a refund. I showed up as a walk-in on a Friday just before noon, and they were able to take me in. However, there are no guarantees, but you could always call in advance. There are three areas to interact with the cats, an upstairs, a downstairs, and also an outdoor " catio." The day I was there, the. Catio was closed because of the weather, but I still had plenty of great interaction time with the other two rooms. The cats come and go as they please, and they also have their own separate area from where you interact with them, so there's no guarantee on how many cats you will have to interact with. The day I was there, there was not a large number of cats, but there was enough that I had some good times. They do not let you pick up the cats, but if the cat wants to jump up on you, that's more than fine. They provide toys to play with the cats, and in addition, I also downloaded a "cat toy" on my iPhone, that had things such as mice, and fish going across the screen. A few of the cats, found it fascinating, and we had a great time. The cats here are older kittys, so you may not get the energy of a kitten, but you will still have a wonderful time interacting with them. They all come from a local rescue, and they are all available for adoption. I had a wonderful time, and would gladly come back the next time I'm in town. Thank you.
