I really enjoyed this Korean Cafe. Drinks and desserts that we had was amazing! It was different than other cafes around. It felt like I was visiting S.Korea again :)
I’d first been to the other location and when I saw this one opening right down the street from me I was very excited! The coffees/lattes and espresso drinks are very good, fun flavors like banana and sweet corn and some classics, can’t go wrong! Manager/owner is very kind and makes the pastry’s in house I’ve enjoyed every item I’ve gotten from smoking tiger and they have cute branding so I can’t resist. I tend to go during odd hours so I haven’t experienced any crazy lines and there is lots of seating inside.
Such a cute, peaceful coffee shop! The owners were very attentive and seemed to care a lot that we were pleased with our coffee. The shop was nice and clean and they had such cute merchandise!
Matcha, Hojicha, espresso, tea, pour over and non-coffee drink options. I had the Tiger Latte, which is their caramel brown sugar mix. Yum yum. Hojicha is next on my list! Less caffeine than matcha, loose tea made a bit differently. There are snacks too. Happy I came here with friends because we each got a snack, something sweet and a drink. So many seats inside. Service is awesome. The owner is so patient and kept the doors open for us after they closed. Grand opening in one week. We’re coming back to celebrate.
Second location of Smoking tiger i been to and I really liked their coffee and matcha! Their Americano was roasted well and dark enough for my taste. I dunno much bout matcha but it was tasty. Also tried their smore cookie. it was good too! liking the korean cafe vibe.
