Last year I stopped at this coffee shop because I saw their foam menu on their Instagram story, then at a circus event I was able to try their refreshers that they had bottled up in cans and had put edible glitter in, and it was beautiful. So I was beyond happy to be able to come back here again and try their full menu items one more time. Their pumpkin pie latte is absolutely to die for. It has the perfect balance of sweetness with that fall flavor that is not too overpowering, and you can still taste the espresso. I could have honestly drink three cans worth of their pumpkin pie latte. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating, and explaining their menu items and their seasonal items as well. I definitely want to go back to try their black sesame latte before that seasonal item is off the menu. This is such a low-key hidden gem that I feel like everybody should try because of the unique drinks that they have to offer!

You know it's good coffee when it doesn't leave a nasty coffee and sugary taste in your mouth. I savored each sip. Service here is a standout, super friendly with big smiles. Highly recommend.

Location: Wicks Shopping Plaza next to Le Peep off of Rt. 1 in Edison Parking: Parking lot can get busy throughout the day, but people come and go so it's not too bad. They're open every day from 10AM to 9 PM. The café has a good amount of seating and tables. The decor is modern, open, airy, and zen. They have two kiosks where you can self order to save time, especially if it's busy. They serve different levels of matcha gelato, matcha affogato, tarts, and Basque cheesecakes. Their black sesame basque cheesecake is my favorite! I have to try their gelato for my next visit. They have various Matcha drinks on the menu, espresso, and Hojicha which has less caffeine than matcha and coffee. I've been here twice and the first time I had their Biscoff cookie Hojicha latte with pistachio milk. It was so delicious! Definitely sweet, but I so I will ask for just one pump of the syrup next time. I think Hojicha pairs better with the Biscoff cookie instead of Matcha. I ordered my husband, an espresso, Matcha latte, but it was definitely way too much caffeine for him. On my most recent visit, I ordered the banana pudding Matcha latte with oat milk. I also upgraded to a premium Matcha, but sadly, I can't remember the name of it! It was really delicious, but a bit too sweet for me. It can be tricky to find the perfect balance of sweetness and umami, but as long as I can taste the Matcha, and the drink is good, I'm happy. The cheesecake is a lovely treat. Thick, but soft, not too sweet. Yum! Unfortunately, they no longer allow reusable cups. Even Starbucks and Dunkin offer a discount and allow personal cups. There's too much waste created by plastic that could easily be avoided. But I digress. I will happily return as this location is close to me and I'm looking forward to trying some of their other seasonal drink drinks. If you're new to Matcha, you should definitely try one of their syrup drinks, or a classic matcha latte.

The Edison location is in the same shopping center as 99 Ranch Market and Sunmerry Café, but it's on the other end of the plaza, which can feel a little sketchy at times. Inside, there's plenty of natural lighting, making it a great spot to study, work, or hang out with friends. I also love the modern, open-concept interior and the natural-light design! Service was great, and the matcha drinks and other matcha items I tried all tasted great. Definitely a great NJ option if you're looking for quality matcha without having to go into NYC. Next time, I'm definitely going to try more from their menu!

What I loved: -The dirty iced chai latte I got was strong and veryyyyy flavorful. They also had a Tough Chai on the menu but the barista let me know that just means its a little spicier (chai spice, not heat spice). I got the standard and LOVED it. And can also say I think it is plenty tough. Just the right amount of toughness. -The space is bright and open and not too packed with tables. There are a few along the window and a few outside. -The food menu looked amazing! I will have to make a return visit specifically for lunch to try more. -Baristas were kind and helpful. All in all, a great visit and what might have been a top chai latte in my books.
