Stopped by Almoka and ended up trying a matcha pistachio drink. I wasn't sure what to expect, but…read moreit was really good. The matcha was smooth and not too earthy, and the pistachio flavor added just the right amount of sweetness without tasting artificial. The café itself has a nice atmosphere and felt like a great place to sit and catch up with a friend or get some work done. Everything looked clean and well put together, and the staff was friendly when taking my order. I appreciate when coffee shops offer unique drinks that are different from the usual menu, and this one definitely stood out. I'll be back to try some of their other specialty drinks next time I'm in the area. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different from the big chain coffee shops.

The drinks look super nice, but I felt they were a bit overpriced for what you get and they are very sweet. I also wish there were more snack or food options since it's mostly just drinks, but heard they plan to add some new items. Overall, it's a decent spot if you want a quick drink, but I probably wouldn't make a special trip just for it.

Everything tasted amazing. A bit pricey but nothing more than the norm these days. Cute space.read more

Very spacious and lovely, and a good place to catch up with people or just stop by.

They offer great selection of pastries and hot and cold beverages. From what Papa and I tried, visiting this place few days in a row, we really enjoyed food and drinks. The staff were helpful and we received our orders in timely manner. We both really enjoy the layout of this home-like atmosphere. It has a beautiful fireplace with variety of games and books you can read. It offers plenty of seating area, with large couch. Including a large Quiet Room. The Quiet Room can be reserved/rented for larger groups in advance. Otherwise you can use the Quiet Room for working, studying, reading or just to sit and enjoy peace and quiet. I recommend this place if you want to try something local instead of a chain store. I will for sure be returning here. For more great content, check out YouTube.com/@AbroadTravel
