The best things to get: - Pasteis that always sold out: torta de Frango. - Their açaí is one of the best in the city and is a very generous portion. - I also loved the sertaneja tapioca crepe (dried shredded beef, mozzarella cheese, and onions encased in a light crepe). Warning: their hot sauce (which they sell by the bottle) is incredibly hot and should come with a warning label but the açaí cools down the heat. You won't regret coming here!

There was a lot of natural light in the coffee shop, definitely a visually-appealing, 'aesthetic' place. I got an iced red tea and it was delicious. The tea was botanical, smooth and fragrant. Amazing experience! Excited to come back and try the coffee and pastries, which looked super fresh.

It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

They have small circular…read moretables extending from a bench (they arent big enough to fit a laptop, so if you have a whole spread with books and notes, probably not the best spot) and some high countertop spaces. They offer free wifi. I tried the pandan matcha. If you like pandan, would recommend trying it. It's not too sweet, but the pandan flavor overpowers the taste of the matcha. Also tried the kopi ginger. The ginger adds a little kick to the coffee, but its not too bitter since there is palm sugar added to the coffee. I asked to reduce the sugar and they were able to do so. Staff is super friendly and willing to provide recommendations if you have a hard time deciding. Will be coming back to this place to try the other drinks and food options.

I thoroughly enjoyed my seasonal drink which was a soda-y twist on an espresso tonic. It had a light cloud of sweet coconut foam on top with an orange slice on top that brought out the citrusy notes of the tonic.

The chocolate cappuccino was tasty and akin to a mocha. Well mixed chocolate and espresso flavors. The piccolo also had a good balance of milk and espresso.

I was torn between Yemeni latte and their pistachio latte and ended choosing the pistachio latte but asked to make it less sweet. It was one of the BEST lattes I've ever had - very complex, not too sweet, rich and nutty. I'm so glad our hotel is nearby so I can come here again tomorrow and order this (and maybe make my husband order the Yemeni latte). Also want to try their dubai cheesecake and some of the other yummy pastries then too.

The wifi is pretty good, for those doing work there including being able to handle Zoom meeting. I've had their regular coffee and their Cortados, maybe one day I'll try one of their specialty drinks.

I've had tried their chicken and beef shawarmas, sharing them with friends, and those were better than I thought they'd be. This place has friendly staff, and the place has more character than the big coffee companies who shall remain nameless.

Asked, if I could have an Irish coffee to go "iced" ( they have a TO GO menu outside listed) It was 78F, I guess I had to acquiesce to the man's wishes. Hot...to go! Went again tonight (9/7) Steven was the guy I got! He said "Labor day weekend is full of amateurs" Man...They are paying your bills! When did this area become NYC? I am not from SF. I am a bartender in San Diego. I, understand your frustration and you have worked there for 5 years. We all know why we get into this business, with that being said... Deciding, to $hit on anyone that could hear you is atrocious and maybe it's time for half of those old timers to retire. This is only my experience from the bar top. Kind of made me sad as they forgot why they chose this profession. Clearly, they have lost that and have become jaded.

Compared to that location, it's much more spacious, with plenty of tables and large windows for people watching. Order at the register, find a seat, and pick up your order once it's called. This time, I decided to order off the coffee side of the menu. They had a fall menu, and I picked the Espresso Spritz w/Orange Blossom ($5.75). +Refreshing and balanced: Not too acidic or sweet. +Cup & straw were durable -I requested Light Ice, and it was still a lot of ice. -It was hard to make out the lemonade and orange blossom. -Dried orange slice was a pretty touch, but it tasted nasty :( Side notes: 1.) Self-serve lids, napkins, and straws 2.) Walking distance from Chinatown Station and several MUNI lines *Verdict: Unique drinks, but personally I feel like the flavors don't shine through enough.
