Saw this place on Instagram so decided to come and grab some little cakes to go for my picnic date the next day. Got their Sunny Side Up Cake which was mango flavored, didn't get to try this one since I gave this to my grandma but it honestly look cute as heck. Got my boyfriend the Taro/Ube Cake, super list and the cream wasn't overpoweringly sweet which was perfect bc he's not much of a sweets guy. Tasted more like taro than ube and the flavor of the taro was pretty light as well, would be nice if there was more taro flavor in the cakes. I got myself the Oreo Cake which was super fluffy and light, had a nice oreo flavor into it. The cream wasn't too sweet either, love that all their cakes wouldn't give you a sugar overload. Also came in a cute perfect size for single eats! read more

Pillow Talk Cafe Pasadena - Top: Oreo and Sunny Side Up Bottom: Taro - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Super cute place albeit a little overpriced. Would I return though? Yes. I was in the Pasadena area and saw this place on social media so wanted to check it out! There is paid street parking, so it was $1/hour. They serve sandwiches and cute little cakes/desserts in tins. I got the black sesame one while my friend got the matcha yuzu one. There was no one there when we entered so we were able to get our order quickly... mostly because they were just prepackaged cakes that they needed to put a lid on. The cakes were both $8 each. The black sesame was delicious and pretty large, I ate it in 2 sittings. The chiffon cake was light and fluffy, while the black sesame cream had the perfect black sesame to cream ratio, not too overwhelming. I also am not a fan of things that are too sweet and this was the perfect amount of sweetness for me! I really enjoyed it and can't wait to return to try something else on their menu... maybe a sandwich next time. read more

Cute dessert shop in Pasadena that is accepting to-go orders during COVID! Overall, I like the desserts but they're pricier than most places. Tiramisu - One of the best tiramisu cakes I have tried! So moist, not too sweet, and overall wonderful. Oreo - Dark chocolate with Oreo frosting. This was moist and not too sweet, which I love! I liked it, but the tiramisu definitely outshone this one. Price - $7-8, which is pretty expensive. However, even though the portion looks small, each cake was enough for 2 people to share. You also get a reusable tin container with a lid, which is a nice touch. I plan on using it for storage! read more

Pillow Talk is a new shop open right across from Tpumps, it's a small spot with a few tables available, so definitely a bit limited for seating if you have a big group. However, we were able to find a free table for our group of four. The drinks were good, I got the Dirty Matcha Latte and it was refreshing. The sweetness level was perfect, without being too excessively sugary. We also tried one of the desserts, the grapefruit one. It was good, but again, the price point was an expensive $8. Thus, I would probably pass on a dessert next time. We went all-out and tried all of the sandwiches: Tamagoyaki, Egg Heaven, Okonomiyaki, and Guaca-Mango. The sandwiches were good, but it was a bit too pricey. My favorites were the Guaca-Mango and Okonomiyaki sandwiches, they tasted delicious and were a bit unique. I would also get the Egg Heaven sandwich, while passing on the Tamagoyaki, which was a bit plain. Workers were friendly and the food make for great pictures! I would recommend trying if you're looking for Japanese sandwiches, LA only has a couple places that sell them at the moment! read more

Egg Heaven $10 Okonomiyaki $13 Yummy! These sandwiches are so soft and filling. On the left we have the original egg salad sandwich with a medium boiled egg. It's a cold sandwich but still very tasty. The sandwich on the right has toppings that is very similar to takoyakis. This one was warm with an omelet egg plus bacon! Topped with bonito flakes, mayo, and a tangy sauce. read more

The cutest little hole-in-the-wall cafe. Where to start! My boyfriend ordered the iced honey comb latte and I got the honey oat latte. I don't know if I've ever called coffee refreshing but they both tasted refreshing to me. The honey comb was a sweeter version of the honey oat but they were both delicious. The flavors of the black sesame cake were light and delicate. Almost like a creamy peanut butter but definitely not as strong in flavor. I enjoyed it thoroughly but it paired better with my boyfriends coffee because it added that sweetness I was looking for. Lastly, the Okonomiyaki sandwich, delicious but you definitely need some napkins. There was a lot of ingredients in that sandwich that the bread couldn't support haha. This was my second time coming and I'd definitely come again and again. read more

Parking: street parking. Location is right next to t-pumps. Space: small, uncomfortable chairs if you're going to stay for a long period of time. Though there's a power outlet next to each table. Been wanting to try this Japanese Egg sandwich trend for a while. I dunno...Maybe I ordered wrong. It was too early in the morning to try something new so We decided to go with the basic Tamayagoyaki sandwich...I asked for light mayo. It's just a Fluffy egg omelet in toasted bread. That's all it was....I wasn't impressed. Got the Honey oat milk latte too Which I liked. read more

I found Pillow Talk on Instagram and just had to try their sandwiches. I ordered the Egg Haven sandwich and their Iced Ube Latte. I enjoyed the Egg Haven sandwich. If you're a big fan of eggs, this is the sandwich for you! The sandwiches are stuffed with plenty of egg. I was already full by my second sandwich. The Iced Ube Latte was okay. I just felt that it was a bit watered down, so it did not taste that strongly of ube to me. It was not a terrible drink, but for $5.50, I expected a bit better. Pillow Talk is pretty good if you are looking for some quick order and takeout, but the place itself has plenty of seating if you prefer to eat there. For parking, I recommend parking at Shopper's Lane if you can't find street parking nearby. It's just a 4 minute walk from Shopper's Lane and Pillow Talk. read more

Want photogenic and delicious food all in one? Get a sandwich and or dessert at pillowtalk. Let's talk sandwich. I ordered the egg heaven sandwich. Their bread is light, fluffy and melts in your mouth. The egg salad is stuffed inside the sandwich and the egg is perfectly cooked like the golden egg in Japan. Lightly seasoned and not heavy at all. Finishing it off with sugar? I would recommend it. Their desserts come in a reusable tin can. You can wash out the tin can and reuse it for food, snacks, trinkets, whatever floats your boat! The dessert is aesthetically pleasing. They look so beautiful I feel guilty for eating it! Treat yourself to decadence, we all need it now and then. read more

*INSTAGRAM GIMMICK FOOD ALERT* Food was pretty pricey for what your actually getting. It wasn't anything to rave about. Not horrible but not worth the price either. Only reason it's getting 1 star is because service was pretty bad. It literally took 30 mins to get our food then another 15 mins to get our actual food that we ordered ( gave us the wrong food). I hope the service doesn't always take that long but maybe it only took long today because the woman behind the counter seemed too occupied servicing and talking to what seemed like her family. All and all this place was just gimmick food. Never listening to Instagram recommendations again. read more

We got 2 of their tin cakes and they were both pretty good, but a bit expensive and not good enough for me to get these regularly. Perhaps I would try something different (like a sandwich) next time. Salted pork floss - good flavor is the frosting/cream part, cake was a little dry. Really cute presentation, frosting was like salted egg yolk; really good sesame - good strong sesame flavor read more

Pillow talk, I love pillow talk, I love the name, but I don't like their drinks. It's a warm afternoon in SGV and I was hoping to get something refreshing, I wouldn't mind just plain iced tea of any kind but... The only non-caffeine drinks here are free water, Sparkling beverage and Dirty Matcha (minus coffee). I used to be a heavy coffee drinker but quit for some health reasons. I basically got an iced matcha latte. Asked for no sugar but it's still sweet that means they use matcha powder that's already sweetened, like Starbucks, instead making matcha from scratch. Also tried Pineapple Americano, it's one of the worst drink creation one could possibly created :XD For dessert, we shared 4 dessert set $26 with Yelp Check in (you can pick any flavor you want and here's our pick: Oreo, Tiramisu, Pink lover and Mango). All were decent, fresh and not overly sweet but nothing really stood out perhaps for me it's just slightly better than 85c. The portion is quite big and we couldn't finish them all. ($7 or $8 each if you buy individually). I would recommend two people share just one unless you are eating dessert as a meal. Street meter parking is available but its $1 per hour with 1 hour limit and you know time flies when you are pillow talking with friends. read more

After experiencing this Pillow Talk, next time I'll skip and go straight to bed. I was visually seduced after many of my Yelp friends posted photos of their experience at Pillow Talk so I wanted to check them out myself. My friend and I made it to Pasadena about half an hour until closing and we were lucky there were still desserts in the display casing. We went with the deal they had for their dessert cakes: 4 for $26, instead of the $7-8/each. This was a deal displayed at the store, but also the Yelp check-in deal. So not really a special exclusive deal for Yelpers only. It's just a deal in general to trick people into buying 4, when in reality they just need 1 or 2. The following were our choices due to availability: Tiramisu - Probably the best of the four and the only one we cared to finish. Grape Earl Grey - The runner up... although I did not taste any grape as the name implies it should taste. Pink Lover - The description says raspberry, lychee and rose, but the raspberry was the only dominant flavor. That and excessive cream. Oreo - The worst of the bunch. The cake layer was so mushy in texture, it was not very cakey. Also the cream was like the cream of all the others. The cream could have tasted more sweet to match with what a real oreo tastes like. We also gave their signature lattes a try. My friend had the iced Honey Oat Latte ($5.95) and I had an Ice Tiramisu ($5.75). As a coffee lover, I feel like the taste of coffee was insufficient in both drinks. I was SO unsatisfied that I went to buy REAL coffee from Philz after drinking this stuff. What an epic waste of money and calories for subpar products. I didn't even bother instagraming because I didn't want any of my family or friends thinking I endorse these products. read more

Came here for the dessert, but I have yet to try it. We ended up studying here and ordering a latte and the egg sandwich. The facility is very clean and white with adequate seating. They have a few outlets by smaller tables and a restroom. The staff is friendly and the drink/food came out quickly. The egg sandwich was pretty and basically the size of 1 sandwich bread slice but cut into thirds. The egg salad was tasty but it didn't seem like anything overly special. The drink was also quality with good coffee beans. Desserts were on the pricier end and I will have to try them, and they come in a tin! WiFi was decent speed, but we were just too full at the time. This place is definitely worth a try. read more

Pillow Talk Cafe Pasadena - Egg Heaven Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Wanted something sweet and found this place on Yelp. Picked up 3 cakes in the cute little containers. I got a salted caramel oreo, taro, and salty yolk pork floss. The salted caramel oreo was very light as there is mousse in between small layers of cake. The only thing about this one is that the cake didn't take like oreo. It just tasted like chocolate cake. I also love that the cake isn't sweet, so you can actually eat the whole thing without feeling like you need a cup of milk. The Taro was very pretty and was also light and fluffy. The most interesting one is the salty yoke pork floss cake. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was actually really good. Everything came together very well, with a few layers of cake in there. If you want some light and fluffy cakes, this is your place! read more

A bit pricey but absolutely delicious! We ordered online and it was really quick and simple. We got: Egg Heaven - egg salad with soft boiled egg. This was a simple but delicious sandwich! I enjoyed it a lot. Okonomiyaki - bacon with a rolled egg with bonito. This sandwich was so flavorful and the bacon paired so well with the egg! Matcha yuzu cake: This was cake sounded really unique so we decided to try it out and it did not disappoint! The yuzu cream was on top with the matcha chiffon cake on the bottom and they both paired together so delicately. The cake was light and airy and the yuzu was just so flavorful! Overall the food was amazing here. I would definitely come back for more but I will say, it is pretty pricey for a sandwich ($10+) This place is definitely worth trying and I really enjoyed it! read more

Dessert time in Pasadena! Last night, we wanted to check out this Hot & New Business, but they close at 7pm... awww... So, today, we made it a point to visit Pillow Talk! We found street parking right in front of the shop! Yay! Inside, Pillow Talk is cute, clean, and bright! The soft music playing encourages a peaceful environment for studying or chatting! The convenient restroom is much appreciated! I got the Pineapple Americano which is pineapple juice with coffee. It's good for me because it's non-dairy! My friends got the 4 dessert special (tiramisu, oreo, mango, and Pink Lover - raspberry) for $26 which is available when you check in on your Yelp app. It sure looked good. However, it seemed like a panna cotta with dairy, so I refrained... This was a nice, calm experience. It's a great place to catch up with your friends! read more

Disclaimer: I don't drink coffee. So, why did I end up at Pillow Talk when most of the drinks are coffee based? Dessert, why else? See pics. Shared the four course dessert special with friends (also fellow Yelpers) - Oreo, Mango, Tiramisu and Raspberry. They're served in tins and the price seems to be in line with other dessert shops if you compare the portion sizes. I liked all except the Mango. It wasn't bad but it didn't wow me - not that the others did - the flavor just seemed not quite there for my taste. I did order a drink - a dirty Matcha without coffee (hot). For someone who doesn't drink coffee, this place was okay. The interior was clean and modern - staff seemed nice however there wasn't a lot of interaction other than placing my order. Street parking (metered) available. You can pay via the Passport app or find free parking if you don't mind walking. If you're like me and don't drink coffee, it's a cool place to hang out but just know that your beverage options will be limited. read more

Very cute spot to chill and get some food! Black, white, and brown colors with green accents make the place aesthetically pleasing and minimalistic. I have always wanted to try the Japanese-style sando and the tamagoyaki sando ($8) was so yummy. The warm, fluffy egg really hit the spot and instantly made me feel energized. It's paired with a dashi, mustard, mayo spread that adds a bit of savory sweetness to the toast. (5/5) It would be a great breakfast/lunch food. We also ordered the Pink Lover ($8) dessert. It is so cute and has sugar dusted raspberries on top. I liked how it wasn't too sweet and had a bit of tartness to each bite. It reminds me of a soft pillowy cheesecake with a layer of lychee flavored jelly sandwiched in-between. (4/5) For parking, I'd suggest trying the parking garages behind the Macys or Tj max and then walking over because street parking costs money and is hard to find. There are also two 4-person tables and several 2-person tables for people to do some work if they'd like. There is WiFi! read more

My mother went to SoCal recently and brought the cakes back to me in the Bay. The cakes were very cute, definitely has that wow factor. I love the tin design and the flavors were definitely interesting. Matcha yuzu is def for matcha lovers, heavy matcha flavor. Earl grey with grapes was interesting. You can def taste the Earl grey and the grape adds a bit of sour flavor to the background. Cool combination. Tiramisu is as expected - pretty good if you like tiramisu. Chestnut I think was more cakey than others. The others had a more mousse base. Chestnut was actly kinda more.... Savory? Like I thought that one had pork floss but there's a different cake that's actly pork floss. My family was also very happy with the service there read more

I definitely gravitate towards dessert shops and boba places, so when I saw a new dessert shop that opened up in Pasadena, I was super excited to give them a try. This new shop is located on Lake Avenue, close to T-Pumps and Nothing Bundt Cakes. There's minimal (paid) parking in front of the store, so I recommend parking in the 90 minute free lots and walking over to Pillow Talk if it's not too hot. The storefront is super cute and very minimalistic. Lots of whites/blacks with clean spaces. There are several tables inside to allow for customers to sit and enjoy their selections while studying or chatting with a friend. Display case isn't too overwhelming either, with several selections of their desserts offered behind the glass along with a description of what is inside each item. As of now, there are four desserts that they offer - Oreo Lover, Pink Lover, Tiramisu, and Mango Mango. The desserts range from $7-8 and are served in a cute aluminum tin can that allows for easy transportation. I ended up trying the Tiramisu and the Mango Mango - both of which I really enjoyed. I have to say that I liked the Tiramisu ($7) more because the flavors weren't too sweet, yet the flavors were traditional while the inside of the dessert was made in a unique way. There's a coffee jelly in the middle along with mascarpone cream and a coffee cocoa cream - everything worked really well together; I was surprised how much I enjoyed this dessert as it was light yet super tasty. The Mango Mango ($8) has fresh mangos cut up on top of a coconut mousse, mango jelly layer, and chiffon cake on bottom. I was debating on this one versus the Pink Lover, but ultimately went with Mango as the flavors seemed more stable as compared to the floral fragrances that were found in their Raspberry dessert. This mousse was super tasty - I liked the surprising layer of chiffon cake at the bottom; it was still slightly crunchy, giving the mousse an extra crunch that made each bite stand out. I did enjoy the super sweet mango chunks at the top of the dessert. For $8, the dessert is on the pricier side as the flavors are very standard from what you'd expect in any mango cake/dessert. Pillow Talk also has an assortment of drinks (coffee, lattes, etc.) as well as pastries and sandwiches. Sandwiches can be made to order throughout the day. tl;dr - Definitely was intrigued and delighted by the desserts that I tried at Pillow Talk. I really enjoyed the lightness of the desserts despite the big flavor that came with each bite. Will be back to try some of their other items and get a sandwich or drink as well! read more

Pillow Talk has been on my radar for a while, so you can imagine how happy I was that COVID didn't make them close down. I was in the area and I wanted to treat myself to some of their tin cakes. But unfortunately they were out of the "pink lover" on a Saturday afternoon. I'm guessing that cake sells out quickly. However, I didn't leave empty handed. I decide to try their okonomiyaki and egg heaven sandwiches. I love konbi sandwiches and I'm curious to try other people's take on it. The wait was about 15min long. Note: the cafe is really tiny - I suggest you wait outside to avoid contact with other folks. I didn't mind the wait, considering that they were making my order on the spot. Once they came out, they were nice and warm. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of it. Egg heaven was my favorite of the two. For both, the bread was so soft and fluffy. I imagine that they also make their own loaves? Portion size are pretty small but packed fill with flavor. I think they're worth the try. But I wouldn't count on it to fill you up for dinner. Definitely great quality though. read more

Ordered the pork floss cake and the mentaiko egg sandwich Pork floss cake: This was 5/5. The salted yolk custard isn't too overpowering (so extreme salted yolk lovers be warned...), and pairs perfectly with the pork floss and soft chiffon cake. Mentaiko: I personally am not a fan of the cheese inside. The egg is very fluffy and it was obviously very fresh. I wish that there was a little more mentaiko in the sandwich. Also would be better if there was a layer of the green sea weed powder(?) in between the bread and egg. read more

Pillow Talk is right next to Tpumps and there is only street parking available, so grab it if you see it. This is not a cheap place, so it's not the place for a quick bite. We ordered these for a total of $44: -Two Egg Heavens ($10 each): This was good, but really something you can easily make at home for probably $3. It's a giant egg salad with hard boiled egg sandwich cut into three parts. Again, good but simple and not worth $10. -Pomelo Mango cake ($8): YUM. The mango part is like a jello, so light and airy and there is a slightly thicker cake at the very bottom which is so good. The pomelo adds texture and tang with each bite. Worth it! -Dirty Matcha Latte ($5.75) and Honey Oat Latte ($5.95): Both of these were so sweet and strong. I don't drink coffee much, so my Honey Oat Latte had me jumping OFF THE WALLS afterwards. I don't reccommend it after 4 PM. Overall, the cake was the best, and I would come to buy them as a gift for someone, but not for anything else here just because it's too expensive. read more

Pillow Talk Cafe Pasadena - Egg Heaven is $10 and not worth it. Tasty though. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

What the other places serve is fine but they can't compete with this Pillow Talk of mine. That's what she visually whispered to me when I looked through her window. She told me I couldn't find tastiness on a one way street and it takes two to tango to make it complete. And yes all of her goodness swept me off my feet so I ordered three tasty tins to make a tasty trio of treats. My first choice was their black sesame that had sweetened osmanthus with black sesame cream on top of the chiffon cake. If you luv luv you some black sesame this is definitely on Hit! Next we had the sunny side up and this tin of beauty came with mango jelly coconut mousse on top of the cake and it was another winner. Last but not least it was time for the strawberry shortcake and there was, I mean nothing short here because it delivered what the name said and enough said on that! I needed a little drink to go with these circular delights and so I went with one of their cold brew lattes and it really hit the spot. The service was great from the time I stepped in until the time I stepped out. So yeah, no one can compete with this pillow talk that will give you the sweetest dreams. And that's my take, Peace read more

Saw this place on someone's IG reel and decided to go here with my family after church on Sunday. Nice little quaint place. I enjoyed the ambiance of the store. The workers were nice and there were only two of them that day so good job under pressure! So I went hard as usual going to new places and I got the black sesame cake, tamagoyaki, egg heaven and an iced tea. First off let me say I really appreciate the tamagoyaki! Made me feel like a kid again! The dashi was just right and the Mayo brought it home! Nice and fluffy. The egg heaven was delicious maybe a little more salt but it was great non the less. The black sesame cake was Divine! So good! I still have it in my fridge gonna finish it when I get home lol and I washed it down with the iced tea. I really great experience! read more

This is a very unique tea/coffee shop. It has your standard array of coffees and milk teas, but also lunch items and these great little cakes that come in cool little containers.

Pretty disappointed, especially because the pictures of the sandwiches looks soo good! I was super excited to try this place since I'm rarely in Pasadena. I was able to find meter parking right in front of the store. I ordered tamagoyaki, egg heaven, & mentaikoyaki. Maybe I had very high expectations because the ones in Japan are sooo good, but Pillow Talk was a let down. The only one I would order again if I had to is the Mentaikoyaki, it had the most flavor out of the three. All the items bread was very dry, border line stale. It also took quite some time to get our order, so if you do want to try this place, I'd recommend ordering online for pick up. read more

Delicious and light sandos! PROS: - Menu is very diverse, lots of options to choose from - Staff was friendly with suggestions (our first time visiting) - Food presentation was perfect CONS: - Street parking only [FOOD] We got the "Salted Oreo Cream Cocoa Cake" along with the "Egg Heaven" and "Okonomiyaki". Let's just start off by saying all three food items were PERFECT. There was not a single thing to complain about. The Egg Heaven was very light in taste, definitely less heavy and had a very minimal egg flavor even considering it was entirely egg. It was a good sando that didn't overpower the taste buds. The Okonomiyaki was the true champ here. It was the perfect blend between savory and flavor. The sauce used in this sandwich can end all world conflicts!! The salted Oreo cream cake was good, the tin is very cute (you get to keep) and would definitely try the other mousses. [PARKING] Not good, street parking only. Metered on weekdays. Not ideal parking whatsoever. There is parking in nearby parking lots but they either charge or you're not "supposed" to park there. [STAFF] Friendly staff! It was my first time, I asked what they recommended and the lady at the front register was very generous and explained what the fan favorites were and what her personal favorite was. read more

Such a cute recommended hot and new place that popped up on my suggestions. I happened to be in the area and was ready for lunch. I found street parking in front and there's a machine to pay for up to an hour. The place is bright and clean and the staff was friendly and helpful, ready to answer any questions about the food. The desserts in the case all looked so pretty it was hard to choose. I chose the egg heaven sandwich and the earl grey and grape mousse cream cake. They brought the cake out right away and it was so light, creamy, and with bits of grape. The sandwich came out soon after in a cute box. The edges were nicely browned and the egg was savory and light with a slight jiggly to the yolk. Everything had such a beautiful presentation and it filled me up. Next time I'll be there for the signature drinks. read more

We got takeout of some dessert, a sandwich, and a sparkling orangeade drink. Brought it for a friend's picnic at a park and it was the perfect little cake for sharing and pictures (; The mango or Oreo were my fav, and my husband liked the matcha (good quality matcha). Kind of soft and spongey like Japanese cakes. Next time we'll try more of their egg sandwiches while they're fresh instead of getting to-go. (My friend had it so I didn't get to try) Very cute place - minimal seating but seemed cozy and quiet enough inside. Service was super friendly and patient. Dessert flavor options here feel so unique and I think they make for great birthday goodies. Definitely a fun try! read more

Pillow Talk Cafe Pasadena - Oreo, Matcha yuzu, and Sunny Side Up (Mango Coconut) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Located on one of the busiest streets in Pasadena, Pillow Talk seem to be in a prime location near a lot of shopping options. It is also near a side street where you can pay for parking ($1/hour). It is slightly hidden since there's usually a long line at the next store over (bobaholics everywhere...), but Pillow Talk will lure you in with its minimalism design. They have interesting sando (Japanese sandwich) options, and well decorated dessert options. Of course, as most cafe do, they also have a simple drink menu offering typical coffee shop drinks. My friend and I each got one of their dessert. I got the oreo cake and my friend got the tiramisu. I really liked the oreo cake, and thought that the sponge cake in the middle was light enough to balance the oreo cream. However, it is more on the expensive side (well, this is Pasadena afterall). If you come with a larger party, they have a dessert set where you get 4 different kinds for $26. It is not a bad deal if you have enough people coming. I would be more inclined to try their sando next time. read more

I've tried this place twice and love all of their sandwiches. The egg is so fluffy and soft, I tried the musubi, okonomayaki, pork floss and the original egg one. All of them are equally unique and so delicious tasting. Service is a little on the slower side, maybe cos they have limited staff. I tried to order ahead incase I couldn't find parking on the street. I arrived 15mins late for my order but still it wasn't ready, she made the drink only when I got there. I dunno maybe to keep it fresh but I wish it was ready. Luckily my double park was safe. read more
