Cold brew

Dope coffee shop!! Lorenzo and Angelica were hilarious. Most importantly the coffee was on point. We will come here every day until we leave after our business trip.

Good coffee but not a place to hang out. It's a small space. They don't offer ceramic cups for your espresso, which was a bummer. But they have very fun drinks like a spycyboi, which my +1 enjoyed. We took our drinks to the park across the street and sat to enjoy them. Got a peek at the "secret" bar and hope to check that out on my next visit to the city.

It was a cute hole in the wall spot but i ordered my coffee half sweet and it was soooooo sugary and i asked the staff if it was actually half sweet and they doubled down and said they didnt put too much sugar. waste of money because i couldnt even drink 2 sips

Rosemary latte
Ray S.

Best latte I've had in a while. Got the rosemary latte that the barista recommended. Super friendly guy. Great convo while I waited for him to make it. They apparently make all the syrups in house which is a plus. And when a spot has this ice. You already know it's gonna be a good latte.

Rosemary Oat !! Johnathan is a sweetheart and knows Wtf he's doing behind that counter! This is damn GOOD coffee
Hope S.

Probably my favorite coffee shop in the city!!! The rosemary oat is a gem, and any plain latte. I need to try more of the menu because I just know it's all great!

Chai
Philip S.

It's a small coffee shop with little seating, so it's a quick grab and go place for some great drinks and pastries. I ordered the Chai today and it was great! Usually Chai can be too milky and sweet, but this one had a nice kick of spice to it. I also got a free check-in cookie. I would get it every time but definitely not good for me, even though the chocolate chip tastes amazing!

super cute little place that is so easy to miss ! I walked by it twice before realizing it's a little below street level. I got their spicy boy latte, and true to its name, it was v spicy. Definitely not my favorite coffee drink, but it was intriguing enough that I'm looking forward to giving their other drinks a shot sometime, especially ~ after hours ~ at patent pending.

The little coffee shop that could. Opening today with stellar machines and sweet treats by Pain D'Avignon and cookies by the senior food editor of Bon Appetit magazine.The smell of the coffee here is intoxicating. Can't wait to stop by for my morning brew en route to my office and some sweet treats. Hot and cold brews abound. P.S. Tried the cookies- thin, crispy and amazing!! #Epiccookies

Just the closed door. It's 2:30

Not open during posted hours of operation What a waste. Google says they're open, Apple Maps says there open, Yelp and their own website says they are but yet they're not. This is an un reliable business and not worth the time

Is there seating?

Hey Rupert thanks for reaching out! We're pretty small, but do have a bench outside and four stools inside to relax on. So, not much sitting but a little. Cheers!

Came here with a friend and we both got the strawberry matcha, just different matcha bases. I got…read morethe nutty option and she got the grassy one. Honestly both are really good. Mine was rich and creamy and I'm not usually a grassy matcha person but I actually really liked the grassy matcha here. It was so smooth and wasn't bitter or overpowering at all. The ratio of strawberry to matcha was also perfect - not too sweet and I could still taste the matcha. Also, they whisk the matcha right in front of you which I thought was a nice touch. You can tell the matcha is fresh and not just powder dumped in and stirred. This is definitely one of my go-to spots for matcha now!

Quite possibly some of the best matcha I've ever had, so much so that I came back the next day to…read morebuy a bag to take home. I had the grassiest matcha (fuku no midori) prepared with just water, and it was the most refreshing drink I could've asked for during this unbearably hot summer. I came back a few more times in the same week to sample more of their menu. Surprisingly, my least favorite was the strawberry matcha latte. I think the fruit obscures the subtle flavors in the matcha and I recommend getting a plain matcha or a matcha latte instead. The shop itself is very tiny - almost standing room only - with 2 barstools by the window. Each drink is made to order and it seemed like there was only one, maybe two people preparing drinks, so if there's a large group then the drinks will take some time to come out.

I am a frequent Prince Tea House goer, but I've never been to the KTown location which has always…read morebeen on my bucket list because of the nice wall decors! And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

This is always my favorite spot to go for desserts and hangout. The interior decor is very modern,…read moresophisticated and stylish. We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
