    Iced Hojicha Latte
    Aleena A.

    Tasty drink and fast service! Love the options for pandan cold foam and ube, as well as seltzers. Would definitely come back.

    It's my go to spot in bayside for matcha and hojicha. The Ube and pandan foam are not too overpowering and really compliment the matcha and hojicha. Lately, I've been enjoying the honey rosemary biscuit and the chocolate chip cookie. The cookie is my favorite consistency: it's crunchy edge but chewy middle. Love that the chocolate used is quality and dark.

    Cold Brew with pandan cold foam
    Evan L.

    Great-tasting drinks and interesting options for baked goods. The cold brew was of good quality, and the pandan cold foam I added gave it a nice bit of sweetness. There's also a lot of seating options - great for doing work or studying. Would come back!

    Ube iced latte and pandan iced latte
    Shashi R.

    Excellent little cafe serving up delicious Asian flavored drinks as well as the classics. Pandan ice latte 9/10 -fresh cold pandan cream on top is amazing. Good pandan flavor. Ube iced latte 8/10 -very good cold foam and it tastes good, just not strong ube flavor. They have a rewards program through text to your phone so you can earn free drinks. Even when they are busy service is fast. It's a small space but it's not a crowded space.

    Located in between That's a Wrap and a gym, you may walk right by Off Grids Common and not realize, unless you are intentionally looking for it. Very modern interior, with seating in different places. A lot of folks appeared to be enjoying their order while working on their laptops. Came by early afternoon on a Saturday. Their menu is on the counter right in front of you when you order. Various teas, coffee/espresso options, matcha, and hojicha. I'd never heard of hojicha before seeing it here, so I decided to try their iced strawberry hojicha with almond milk. My partner ordered the iced strawberry matcha latte with almond milk. They also have different kind of pastries. They make the drinks in front of you, always nice to watch establishments put together drinks from scratch. Visually, the drinks were beautiful. Flavor wise, both drinks were lacking the earthy matcha flavor and the nutty flavor I learned that hojicha is supposed to bring. Unfortunately, our drinks tasted pretty watery, not because of the ice either since we drank them right after walking out with our order. However, the strawberry puree they add was delicious, not overly sweet or with that fake sweet flavor, but natural strawberry sweetness and flavor. Paid just under $19 for both drinks with tax. Not sure about coming back for another try, but glad to have had the experience.

    Ice matcha latte & ice caramel latte

    I was around the area, & decide to look on yelp for a quick coffee shop, so I came across off grids common. Ambiance is super chill & it's a cute small coffee shop. You have the option to sit in the coffee shop and get some work done. Service was great, the employees were very sweet & informed of their menu. My partner ordered an ice matcha latte, with coconut milk. It also came with a pump of coconut. The taste was rich & smooth, as I did try it. For myself I ordered an ice caramel latte with coconut milk. I am obsessed with coconut & the coffee was absolutely delicious. It didn't taste sweet, and I love that cause I don't like my coffee too sweet. An amazing fact of this coffee shop is that they also do have their own organic matcha that you can purchase which some places don't have. One comes in a can & the other matcha come in a bag if your into matcha. Unfortunately I did not purchase which I regret ! But when I come back I would definitely purchase! 10/10. Overall I enjoyed this place a lot and I would come here again!

    Off Grids is one of those rare spots that nails both aesthetic and substance. I came in for a quick treat and left genuinely impressed. The Nutella banana bread was moist, rich, and just sweet enough--perfect balance of banana flavor with the indulgence of Nutella swirled in. The iced cold brew with ube cold foam was the star. Smooth, strong coffee balanced by that creamy, subtly sweet ube foam on top--it looked beautiful and tasted even better. The iced hojicha latte was earthy, lightly roasted, and refreshing--definitely for tea lovers who want something unique but not overpowering. Service was excellent--staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and didn't rush. They made solid recommendations and genuinely seemed happy to be there.

    Pandan Matcha
    Luisa S.

    I have found the best matcha latte in Bayside! This cafe is quiet and cozy, perfect for a nice drink or a study session. I ordered the Pandan matcha latte and was taken aback by how delicious it was. The Pandan cold foam was heavenly and was esthetically pleasing with its bright green color. The service here is quick and friendly. I can't wait to try all of the different matcha variations they have.

    Hojicha Strawberry Fizzy
    Yuna C.

    Loved the vibes of this cafe and the many drink options! I'd love to come again and try out their Pandan drinks. I got the Hojicha Strawberry Fizzy, which vaguely tasted like a Coke/Dr. Pepper - I've never thought to have a seltzer drink with Hojicha but the nutty taste grew on me!

    Brenda L.

    Super cute coffee shop! Very aesthetic and modern which I'm obsessed with. I love their selection of drinks and pastries / cookies as well. Def a nice study / work spot. Their pandan macha drink and hojicha latte are my favorite :)

    Iced Americano
    Carina H.

    There's plenty of seating inside. While fairly minimalistic in design, the seats looked cozy. In the late afternoon on a weekend, there were a lot of customers. The music was probably my favorite part about this cafe; it felt like someone was playing what I call my "sad girl hours" playlist. I ordered an Iced Americano, not one of the best I've had but not the worst. I think it was a bit acidic. There were some unique drinks on the menu, so I might return to try them.

    Steven L.

    Finally a new cafe with plenty of space to hang and relax or do some work. Offering a rotating menu that can change according to the season and the mood. Lattes, ube cookies, and horjicha latte to name a few of my top choices. Space is clean and cozy with comfortable seating. Service is quick and you can tell the barista makes it with a passion. Although space to find parking can be hard, it not impossible if you really try looking around the neighborhood. Public bus is on northern blvd and walkable.

Walking in, you see green, lots of it in the form of lush plants and flowers everywhere. There is no over powering scents and the high ceilings do make the space feel open and calm. The counter to order is closer to the rear of the store and there's plenty of cafe style seating and communal seating all around. In warmer months, they put small tables and chairs outside on the sidewalk. The artisanal coffee here is what sets them apart. Bold flavor choices, robust and velvety varieties. Many options to choose from, check out the menu pics. I had the Americano and loved it. We also ordered hot food while hanging out. As they are popular for brunch, Jo and I shared the lemon curd blueberry pancakes as well as the savory salmon lox pancake. We likely over ordered but didn't mind, as we're always open to trying more dishes. The lemon curd blueberry was our favorite. I liked that there was extra lemon curd on the side and the blueberries were fresh. They were lightly dusted with powered sugar and thankfully not bathed in syrup. It was a light and satisfying dish even though it was pancakes. Didn't feel heavy at all. The ice cream was a nice touch so you could consider this as a dessert. The lox and eggs were really good as well. Those pancakes were topped with tomato, greens and avocado. Like a full meal on a plate. So glad we shared everything. I'd totally recommend a dine in experience so you can try the food once it's prepared. We both bought sandwiches to go for our family and those held up well considering it needed to be transported home. I recommend the ham and cheese croissant sandwich.

The tables are close enough and small enough to hear what your neighbors are saying to each other, imagine what they think of you? LOL I noticed speaker music was playing a bit louder then the last time I was there. The fact that patrons have to shout over each other while sharing speaker music doesn't help with the ambience of enjoying a delicious cake over an interesting conversation. I ordered something new this time, a delicious lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Why didn't I see that description on my check? Strange. I also visited their website online, and noticed a lot of Stock Ai made photos and videos. I even found the website hard to navigate as well because it wasn't loaded with actual cakes and up to date pricing. So quite honestly the online website wasn't helpful with what they had in the shop. * Perhaps a future improvement between tables might be an above head moveable divider which actually could provide some privacy.

It is super sweet and even sweeter with whipped cream. It is unlike any hot chocolate I've ever had. Get it. For dessert, I like the Pineapple Shortcake, which is available at the Forest Hills Martha's, but not in Bayside. I thought I saw it once, but it turned out to be a Lemon Meringue cake. Instead, I'll go for a slice of Apple Pie, Strawberry Shortcake, Blue or Red Velvet cakes or the Oreo Mousse. If you would like to enjoy your cake and coffee in house, there is table service. There are plenty of 2 topper café tables, but if you have a bigger party, they will park a bunch of them together for you, if it's not too busy. If you get here before 8pm, tables are readily available, but it can get crowded as the evening progresses. We were surprised recently, when they sat 6 of us with no wait. They are open before the crack of dawn at 6am until 1am on Friday & Saturday nights. I imagine that the ovens never cool off and the bakers are there on the overnight shift to bake plenty of cakes ready for the next day. It's not unusual to still have a line to order out at 10-11pm and the display cases are still packed with cakes & pies.
